Results on homotopical algebra in topoi and on diagrams of topoi

The course proves the statements below; each link leads to the statement with its assumptions and its proof. The lessons are self-checked by the writing AI; independent mathematical review is not complete.

Reading order

Eighty-seven lessons, to be read in order. The first three develop homotopical algebra in a ringed topos; the fourth to sixth treat simplicial objects, nerves and colimits over categories of ordinals; the seventh and eighth construct the total topoi of fibred topoi and their modules, the ninth to eleventh compute their cohomology, the twelfth and thirteenth construct the left derived functors of the left adjoints of inverse images of
