Abstract

In this paper, we study diffeological spaces as certain kinds of discrete simplicial presheaves on the site of cartesian spaces with the coverage of good open covers. The \v{C}ech model structure on simplicial presheaves provides us with a notion of \infty-stack cohomology of a diffeological space with values in a diffeological abelian group AA. We compare \infty-stack cohomology of diffeological spaces with two existing notions of \v{C}ech cohomology for diffeological spaces in the literature. Finally, we prove that for a diffeological group GG, that the nerve of the category of diffeological principal GG-bundles is weak homotopy equivalent to the nerve of the category of GG-principal \infty-bundles on XX, bridging the bundle theory of diffeology and higher topos theory.
