Abstract

In this article, we introduce a notion of polygraphic homology of a strict ω\omega-category with coefficients in a local system, generalizing the polygraphic homology with coefficients in Z\mathbb Z, introduced by Fran\c{c}ois M\'etayer. We show that the homology of a simplicial set with coefficients in a local system coincides with the polygraphic homology of its image by the left adjoint of the Street nerve with coefficients in the corresponding local system. We define in this framework a comparison morphism between the polygraphic homology of a strict ω\omega-category and the homology of its Street nerve, and we show that this morphism is an isomorphism for (1-)categories. This is not true for an arbitrary ω\omega-category. Nevertheless, we conjecture that for an analogous construction in the framework of weak ω\omega-categories ``\`a la Grothendieck'' we would always obtain an isomorphism.
