The Handbook of Homotopy Theory provides a panoramic view of an
active area in mathematics that is currently seeing dramatic
solutions to long-standing open problems, and is proving itself of
increasing importance across many other mathematical disciplines.
The origins of the subject date back to work of Henri Poincare and
Heinz Hopf in the early 20th century, but it has seen enormous
progress in the 21st century. A highlight of this volume is an
introduction to and diverse applications of the newly established
foundational theory of Y -categories. The coverage is vast, ranging
from axiomatic to applied, from foundational to computational, and
includes surveys of applications both geometric and algebraic. The
contributors are among the most active and creative researchers in
the field. The 22 chapters by 31 contributors are designed to
address novices, as well as established mathematicians, interested
in learning the state of the art in this field, whose methods are
of increasing importance in many other areas.
