Basic notions

• Higher inductive types types
• Type families and fibrations $P : A \to \mathcal{U}$ type family

Constructions and concepts

Spaces

• Homotopy pushout? $Y \sqcup^X Z$
  • Join? $X \star Y$
  • Suspension $\Sigma X$
  • Wedge sum $X \vee Y$
  • Homotopy fiber?
  • Smash product $X \wedge Y$
• Eilenberg-Maclane spaces $K(G,n)$
• James construction $J(X) \simeq \Omega \Sigma X$
• Localization

Homological Algebra

• Homology?
• Cohomology $H^n(X;A) \equiv \| X \to K(A,n) \|_0$
• Spectral sequences

Fibrations

• Hopf construction : H-space on$A$H-space gives on fibration$A\to A\star A\to \Sigma A$ A \to A \star A \to \Sigma A gives fibration $A \to A \star A \to \Sigma A$

Misc.

• Whitehead product
• loop space of a wedge of circles
