Nerves and cones of free loop-free {\omega}-categories

Algebraic Topology 2023-06-07 v2 Category Theory

Abstract

We show that the complicial nerve construction is homotopically compatible with two flavors of cone constructions when starting with an ω\omega-category that is suitably free and loop-free. An instance of the result recovers the fact that the standard mm-simplex is equivalent to the complicial nerve of the mm-oriental.
