D-brane categories. (English) Zbl 1038.81054

Summary: This is an exposition of recent progress in the categorical approach to D-brane physics. The author discusses the physical underpinnings of the appearance of homotopy categories and triangulated categories of D-branes from a string field theoretic perspective, and with a focus on applications to homological mirror symmetry.
