This is a timeline of category theory and related mathematics. Its scope ('related mathematics') is taken as:

  • Categories of abstract algebraic structures including representation theory and universal algebra;
  • Homological algebra;
  • Homotopical algebra;
  • Topology using categories, including algebraic topology, categorical topology, quantum topology, low-dimensional topology;
  • Categorical logic and set theory in the categorical context such as algebraic set theory;
  • Foundations of mathematics building on categories, for instance topos theory;
  • Abstract geometry, including algebraic geometry, categorical noncommutative geometry, etc.
  • Quantization related to category theory, in particular categorical quantization;
  • Categorical physics relevant for mathematics.
  • In this article and in category theory in general ∞ = ω.
