Higher Descent Data as a Homotopy Limit

Algebraic Geometry 2015-07-16 v5

Abstract

We define the 2-groupoid of descent data assigned to a cosimplicial 2-groupoid and present it as the homotopy limit of the cosimplicial space gotten after applying the 2-nerve in each cosimplicial degree. This can be applied also to the case of nn-groupoids thus providing an analogous presentation of "descent data" in higher dimensions.
