Homotopy theory and C_ algebras are central topics in contemporary mathematics. This book introduces a modern homotopy theory for C_-algebras. One basic idea of the setup is to merge C_-algebras and spaces studied in algebraic topology into one category comprising C_-spaces. These objects are suitable fodder for standard homotopy theoretic moves, leading to unstable and stable model structures.

Homotopy theory and C_ algebras are central topics in contemporary mathematics. This book introduces a modern homotopy theory for C_-algebras. One basic idea of the setup is to merge C_-algebras and spaces studied in algebraic topology into one category comprising C_-spaces. These objects are suitable fodder for standard homotopy theoretic moves, leading to unstable and stable model structures. With the foundations in place one is led to natural definitions of invariants for C_-spaces such as homology and cohomology theories, K-theory and zeta-functions.The text is largely self-contained. It serves a wide audience of graduate students and researchers interested in C_-algebras, homotopy theory and applications.
