&lt;p>The content of this page is derived from my questions to Tashi during the second exercise class and Tashi’s responses. I would like to express my gratitude to Tashi here.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>We focus on the following two questions:&lt;/p>
&lt;ul>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Question I.&lt;/strong> How should we understand the notion of &lt;strong>isofibration&lt;/strong> (hereafter referred to as a &lt;em>fibration&lt;/em>) in synthetic category theory?&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Question II.&lt;/strong> Do we still have a &lt;strong>weak factorization system&lt;/strong> in this context?&lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
&lt;p>Next, we will answer these questions through the lens of type theory and the categorical perspective of synthetic category theory.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Stable Dold–Kan and Descent</title><link>https://ou-liu-red-sugar.github.io/notes/notes/stable-doldkan-and-descent/</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://ou-liu-red-sugar.github.io/notes/notes/stable-doldkan-and-descent/</guid><description>Unified exposition of the stable Dold–Kan correspondence and its application to descent theory in stable categories.</description></item><item><title>About me</title><link>https://ou-liu-red-sugar.github.io/about/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://ou-liu-red-sugar.github.io/about/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="ou-liu-刘欧">Ou Liu (刘欧)&lt;/h1>
