Abstract

Given a symmetric monoidal \infty-category E\mathscr{E}, compatible with finite colimits, we show that the functor sending a simplicial object in E\mathscr{E} to its skeletal filtration is canonically lax symmetric monoidal. This monoidal structure is the analogue of the one induced by the Eilenberg-Zilber homomorphism from the Dold-Kan correspondence. To accomplish this, we establish some new results around O\mathscr{O}-promonoidal \infty-categories for any \infty-operad O\mathscr{O}; most notably, we show that it is possible to localize O\mathscr{O}-promonoidal \infty-categories in the same way one localizes symmetric monoidal \infty-categories.
