This is a short textbook on Category Theory for Russian speaking students. It consists of three chapters: Categories and Functors, Representable Functors (including Adjoint Functors and (Co)limits) and Tensor Categories.
An elementary theory of strict $\infty $-categories with application to concrete duality is given. All known famous dualities (Gelfand-Naimark, Pontryagin, Stone, etc.) are so-called natural. A criterion of existence of such a duality for higher categories is formulated. New examples are presented.
A notion of general manifolds is introduced. It covers all usual manifolds in mathematics. Essentially, it is a way how to get a bigger 'fibration' over a site which locally coincides with a given one. An enrichment with generalized elements is regarded which allows to see hom-sets of a given category as (almost) objects and to transfer some technics from objects onto hom-sets. Lifting problem for a group action and actions of group objects are also included.
An elementary theory of strict $\infty $-categories with application to concrete duality is given. New examples of first and second order concrete duality are presented.
