Exact categories were introduced by Quillen in 1970s as part of his seminal work on algebraic K-theory. Exact categories provide a suitable enlargement of the class of abelian categories (for example, an extension-closed subcategory of an abelian category inherits the structure of an exact category) in which one "can do homological algebra". Recently, motivated also by questions in algebraic K-theory, Barwick introduced the class of exact infinity-categories, relying on the newly-developed theory of infinity-categories developed by Joyal, Lurie and others. This new class of mathematical objects includes not only the exact categories in the sense of Quillen but also the stable inftinty-categories in the sense of Lurie (the latter are to be regarded as refinements of triangulated categories in the sense of Verdier). The purpose of this lecture series is to motivate the theory of exact infinity-categories and sketch some of its applications. Familiarity with the theory of infinity-categories is not expected.
