Abstract

This thesis weaves together three papers, each of which provides a use of homotopical intuition in a different field of mathematics. The first applies it to the study of various models of F₁-geometry, focusing mainly on the Bost-Connes algebra. The second endeavors to compare two homotopical models for concurrent computing before introducing a new one as well. Finally, the last paper provides a construction for obtaining derived motivic measures from an abstract six functors formalism and, in particular, applies this idea to obtain a lift of the Gillet-Soulé motivic measure.
