We introduce a notion of n-quasi-categories as fibrant objects of a model category structure on presheaves on Joyal's n-cell category \Theta_n. Our definition comes from an idea of Cisinski and Joyal. However, we show that this idea has to…
We establish cartesian model structures for variants of $\Theta_n$-spaces in which we replace some or all of the completeness conditions by discreteness conditions. We prove that they are all equivalent to each other and to the…
We define groupoidal and $(n+k)$-truncated $n$-quasi-categories, which are the translation to the world of $n$-quasi-categories of groupoidal and truncated $(\infty, n)$-$\Theta$-spaces defined by Rezk. We show that these objects are the…
We study a new type of higher categorical structure, called weakly globular n-fold category, previously introduced by the author. We show that this structure is a model of weak n-categories by proving that it is suitably equivalent to the…
In this paper we complete a chain of explicit Quillen equivalences between the model category for $\Theta_{n+1}$-spaces and the model category of small categories enriched in $\Theta_n$-spaces. The Quillen equivalences given here connect…
An n-category is some sort of algebraic structure consisting of objects, morphisms between objects, 2-morphisms between morphisms, and so on up to n-morphisms, together with various ways of composing them. We survey various concepts of…
Generalising Segal's approach to 1-fold loop spaces, the homotopy theory of $n$-fold loop spaces is shown to be equivalent to the homotopy theory of reduced $\Theta_n$-spaces, where $\Theta_n$ is an iterated wreath product of the simplex…
We introduce a notion of "weak model category" which is a weakening of the notion of Quillen model category, still sufficient to define a homotopy category, Quillen adjunctions, Quillen equivalences and most of the usual construction of…
We introduce \emph{flagged $(\infty,n)$-categories} and prove that they are equivalent to Segal sheaves on Joyal's category ${\mathbf\Theta}_n$. As such, flagged $(\infty,n)$-categories provide a model-independent formulation of Segal…
This thesis is devoted to the proof of a theorem showing the existence of a closed model category structure for weakly enriched categories. It requires first of all the definitions of weakly enriched categories and equivalences of weakly…
Higher category theory is an exceedingly active area of research, whose rapid growth has been driven by its penetration into a diverse range of scientific fields. Its influence extends through key mathematical disciplines, notably homotopy…
In this paper, we construct a model structure for $(\infty,1)$-categories on the category of simplicial spaces, whose fibrant objects are the Segal spaces. In particular, we show that it is Quillen equivalent to the models of…
A relative category is a category with a chosen class of weak equivalences. Barwick and Kan produced a model structure on the category of all relative categories, which is Quillen equivalent to the Joyal model structure on simplicial sets…
In this paper, we consider the model structure on the category of cellular sets originally conjectured by Cisinski and Joyal to give a model for the homotopy theory of weak (\omega)-categories. We demonstrate first that any…
We introduce a notion of $\Theta$-categories, which is a refinement of the notion of symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories. We use this notion to prove a Tannakian duality statement, relating $\Theta$-categories with fpqc-stacks by means…
Based on a Whitehead-type characterization of the sectional category we develop the notion of weak sectional category. This is a new lower bound of the sectional category, which is inspired by the notion of weak category in the sense of…
We investigate fibrancy conditions in the Thomason model structure on the category of small categories. In particular, we show that the category of weak equivalences of a partial model category is fibrant. Furthermore, we describe…
We introduce a new class of higher categorical structures called weakly globular Tamsamani n-categories. These generalize the Tamsamani-Simpson model of higher categories by using the new paradigm of weak globularity to weaken higher…
We introduce a new higher categorical structure called a weakly globular n-fold category. This structure is based on iterated internal categories and on the notion of weak globularity. We identify a suitable class of pseudo-functors whose…
In this paper, firstly, we introduce a higher-dimensional analogue of hypergraphs, namely $\omega$-hypergraphs. This notion is thoroughly flexible because unlike ordinary $\omega$-graphs, an n-dimensional edge called an n-cell has many…
