Abstract

For most models of (,2)(\infty,2)-categories an embedding of the \infty-category of 2-categories into that of (,2)(\infty,2)-categories has been constructed in the form of a nerve construction of some flavor. We prove that all those nerve embeddings induce equivalent functors, modulo change of model. We also show that all the nerve embeddings realize the \infty-category of 2-categories as the sub-\infty-category of (,2)(\infty,2)-categories that are local with respect to a certain class of maps.
