Joyal's Suspension Functor on $\Theta $ and Kan's Combinatorial Spectra

Category Theory 2022-06-29 v2

Abstract

In [Joyal] where the category Θ\Theta is first defined it is noted that the dimensional shift on Θ\Theta suggests an elegant presentation of the unreduced suspension on cellular sets. In this note we prove that the reduced suspension associated to that presentation is left Quillen with respect to the Cisinski model category structure presenting the (,1)\left(\infty,1\right)-category of pointed spaces and enjoys the correct universal property. More, we go on to describe how, in forthcoming work, inspired by the combinatorial spectra described in [Kan], this suspension functor entails a description of spectra which echoes the weaker form of the homotopy hypothesis, we describe the development of a presentation of spectra as locally finite weak Z\mathbf{Z}-groupoids.
