Weakly invertible cells in a weak $\omega$-category

Category Theory 2024-11-22 v3

Abstract

We study weakly invertible cells in weak ω\omega-categories in the sense of Batanin-Leinster, adopting the coinductive definition of weak invertibility. We show that weakly invertible cells in a weak ω\omega-category are closed under globular pasting. Using this, we generalise elementary properties of weakly invertible cells known to hold in strict ω\omega-categories to weak ω\omega-categories, and show that every weak ω\omega-category has a largest weak ω\omega-subgroupoid.
