We extend Campion's pasting theorem for $(\infty, n)$-categories to a larger class of polygraphs, called the directed complexes with frame-acyclic molecules. It follows, for instance, that this pasting theorem applies to any polygraph…

In this note, we leverage the author's pasting theorem for $(\infty,n)$-categories to construct new models of $(\infty,n)$-categories for all $n \leq \infty$, as presheaves on certain categories of computads. Among these new models are some…

The inclusion of 1-categories into $(\infty,1)$-categories fails to preserve colimits in general, and pushouts in particular. In this note, we observe that if one functor in a span of categories belongs to a certain previously-identified…

The paper focuses on investigating how certain relations between strict $n$-categories are preserved in a particular implementation of $(\infty,n)$-categories, given by saturated $n$-complicial sets. In this model, we show that the…

We show that any pasting diagram in any $(\infty,2)$-category has a homotopically unique composite. This is achieved by showing that the free 2-category generated by a pasting scheme is the homotopy colimit of its cells as an…

The notion of $\textbf{Gray}$-category, a semi-strict $3$-category in which the middle four interchange is weakened to an isomorphism, is central in the study of three-dimensional category theory. In this context it is common practice to…

We define a functor which takes in an $(\infty,1)$-category and outputs an $(\omega,1)$-category, the natural maximally "strict" version of an $(\infty,1)$-category. We do this by modeling $(\infty,1)$-categories as categories enriched in…

We show that the strict 1-category $\square$ of cubes -- defined to be the full subcategory of strict $\omega$-categories whose objects are the Gray tensor powers of the arrow category -- are dense in the $(\infty,1)$-category…

We prove general adjoint functor theorems for weakly (co)complete $n$-categories. This class of $n$-categories includes the homotopy $n$-categories of (co)complete $\infty$-categories, so these $n$-categories do not admit all small…

Building on Power's notion of a pasting diagram, we prove a pasting theorem for categories enriched in quasi-categories.

Adhesive categories are categories which have pushouts with one leg a monomorphism, all pullbacks, and certain exactness conditions relating these pushouts and pullbacks. We give a new proof of the fact that every topos is adhesive. We also…

We provide an $(\infty,n)$-categorical version of the straightening-unstraightening construction, asserting an equivalence between the $(\infty,n)$-category of double $(\infty,n-1)$-right fibrations over an $(\infty,n)$-category…

Diagrammatic sets admit a notion of internal equivalence in the sense of coinductive weak invertibility, with similar properties to its analogue in strict $\omega$-categories. We construct a model structure whose fibrant objects are…

We propose a new model for the theory of $(\infty,n)$-categories (including the case $n=\infty$) in the category of marked cubical sets with connections, similar in flavor to complicial sets of Verity. The model structure characterizing our…

We reconceptualize the process of forming $n$-excisive approximations to $\infty$-categories, in the sense of Heuts, as inverting the suspension functor lifted to $A_n$-cogroup objects. We characterize $n$-excisive $\infty$-categories as…

James' sectional category and Farber's topological complexity are studied in a general and unified framework. We introduce `relative' and `strong relative' forms of the category for a map. We show that both can differ from sectional…

Many definitions of weak and strict $\infty$-categories have been proposed. In this paper we present a definition for $\infty$-categories with strict associators, but which is otherwise fully weak. Our approach is based on the existing type…

Numerably contractible spaces play an important role in the theory of homotopy pushouts and pullbacks. The corresponding results imply that a number of well known weak homotopy equivalences are genuine ones if numerably contractible spaces…

We show that basic homotopical notions such as homotopy sets and groups, connected and truncated maps, cellular constructions and skeleta, etc., extend to the setting of $(\infty,\infty)$-categories, as well as to presentable categories…

In this work, we relate the three main formalisms for the notion of pasting diagram in strict $\omega$-categories: Street's parity complexes, Johnson's pasting schemes and Steiner's augmented directed complexes. In the process, we show that…
