Higher category theory is generally regarded as technical and forbidding, but part of it is considerably more tractable: the theory of infinity-categories, higher categories in which all higher morphisms are assumed to be invertible. In "Higher Topos Theory", Jacob Lurie presents the foundations of this theory, using the language of weak Kan complexes introduced by Boardman and...(展开全部)

After describing the beginnings of the subject - the theory of large cardinals - a comprehensive account is given of the work in the 1960s on partition properties, forcing and sets of reals, and aspects of measurability (including saturated ideals and inner models of measurability). Then discussed are the strong hypotheses like supercompactness up to Kunen's inconsistency. The ...(展开全部)

This is the softcover reprint of the very popular hardcover edition. The theory of large cardinals is currently a broad mainstream of modern set theory, the main area of investigation for the analysis of the relative consistency of mathematical propositions and possible new axioms for mathematics. The first of a projected multi-volume series, this book provides a comprehensive ...(展开全部)

Ripley had kept his name and reputation clean, amazingly clean, considering. It would be most embarrassing for him if his interest in the Buckmaster Gallery were made public. The gallery is staging another Derwatt exhibition. But now an American collector claims that the expensive masterpiece he bought three years ago is a fake, it is of course. And he wants to talk to Derwatt....(展开全部)
