Some other notes

You might also be interested in my blog, where various things that could also have been pdf's are written in html. The notes that are listed in what follows are less polished or less important (which is a vague opinion anyway) than the ones listed above as lecture notes or not intended for publication, or they are purely of expository and standard nature.

2016

• The restriction of a homotopy-injective complex to a Zariski open subset is not necessarily homotopy-injective, details for the construction of such a complex, based on an explanation by Leonid Positselski

2015

• Cheat sheet for the simplicial indexing category, in case you always forget the notation (like me)
