There are infinitely many variants of the notion of Kan fibration that, together with suitable choices of cofibrations and the usual notion of weak equivalence of simplicial sets, satisfy Quillen's axioms for a homotopy model category. The…

In this note we show that a semisimplicial set with the weak Kan condition admits a simplicial structure, provided any object allows an idempotent self-equivalence. Moreover, any two choices of simplicial structures give rise to equivalent…

The homotopy theory of infinity-operads is defined by extending Joyal's homotopy theory of infinity-categories to the category of dendroidal sets. We prove that the category of dendroidal sets is endowed with a model category structure…

In this paper we redevelop the foundations of the category theory of quasi-categories (also called infinity-categories) using 2-category theory. We show that Joyal's strict 2-category of quasi-categories admits certain weak 2-limits, among…

We construct a cofibrantly generated Quillen model structure on the category of small n-fold categories and prove that it is Quillen equivalent to the standard model structure on the category of simplicial sets. An n-fold functor is a weak…

Much research has been done on structures equivalent to topological or simplicial groups. In this paper, we consider instead simplicial monoids. In particular, we show that the usual model category structure on the category of simplicial…

A general method for lifting weak factorization systems in a category S to model category structures on simplicial objects in S is described, analogously to the lifting of cotorsion pairs in Abelian categories to model category structures…

We use Cisinski's machinery to construct and study model structures on the category of simplicial sets whose classes of fibrant objects generalize quasi-categories. We identify a lifting condition which captures the homotopical behavior of…

We establish a Quillen equivalence relating the homotopy theory of Segal operads and the homotopy theory of simplicial operads, from which we deduce that the homotopy coherent nerve functor is a right Quillen equivalence from the model…

We prove that the 2-category of skeletally small abelian categories with exact monoidal structures is anti-equivalent to the 2-category of fp-hom-closed definable additive categories satisfying an exactness criterion. For a fixed finitely…

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…

We study properties of the cubical Joyal model structures on cubical sets by means of a combinatorial construction which allows for convenient comparisons between categories of cubical sets with and without symmetries. In particular, we…

For every functor $\mathcal{F} : \mathcal{K} \to \mathbf{C}$, where $\mathcal{K}$ is a small category and $\mathbf{C}$ is a model category which satisfies some mild hypotheses, we define a model category $\mathbf{C}^m$ of…

We define a homotopy relation between arrows of a category with weak equivalences, and give a condition under which the quotient by the homotopy relation yields the homotopy category. In the case of the fibrant-cofibrant objects of a model…

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…

It is well known that the underlying simplicial set of any simplicial group is a Kan complex. Roughly speaking, Kan complex is an infinite-dimensional analogue of groupoid, and the relation between groupoids and categories resembles that…

Reasoning about weak higher categorical structures constitutes a challenging task, even to the experts. One principal reason is that the language of set theory is not invariant under the weaker notions of equivalence at play, such as…

In this note we show that in the simplicial setting, the classifying space construction converts short exact sequences of groups not just to homotopy fibrations, but in fact to fibre bundles.
