Given a simplicial complex and a collection of subcomplexes covering it, the nerve theorem, a fundamental tool in topological combinatorics, guarantees a certain connectivity of the simplicial complex when connectivity conditions on the…

We show that the tensor product of $\infty$-categories enriched in a suitable monoidal $\infty$-category preserves colimits in each variable, fixing a mistake in an earlier paper of Gepner and the author. We also prove that essentially…

We give an explicit and purely combinatorial description of the Duskin nerve of any (r+1)-point suspension 2-category, and in particular of any 2-category belonging to Joyal's cell category Theta_2.

In an enriched setting, we show that higher groupoids and higher categories form categories of fibrant objects. The nerve of a differential graded algebra is a higher category in the category of algebraic varieties, where covers are defined…

We define the notion of an additive model category, and we prove that any additive, stable, combinatorial model category has a natural enrichment over symmetric spectra based on simplicial abelian groups. As a consequence, every object in…

We set up a general theory of weak or homotopy-coherent enrichment in an arbitrary monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathcal{V}$. Our theory of enriched $\infty$-categories has many desirable properties; for instance, if the enriching…

It is shown that the cubical nerve of a strict omega-category is a sequence of sets with cubical face operations and distinguished subclasses of thin elements satisfying certain thin filler conditions. It is also shown that a sequence of…

For a rigid tensor abelian category $T$ over a field $k$ we introduce a notion of a normal quotient $q:T\to Q$. In case $T$ is a Tannaka category, our notion is equivalent to Milne's notion of a normal quotient. More precisely, if $T$ is…

Joyal and Street note in their paper on braided monoidal categories [Braided tensor categories, Advances in Math. 102(1993) 20-78] that the 2-category V-Cat of categories enriched over a braided monoidal category V is not itself braided in…

Actions of bicategories arise as categorification of actions of categories. They appear in a variety of different contexts in mathematics, from Moerdijk's classification of regular Lie groupoids in foliation theory, to Waldmann's work on…

In strictly factorisable operadic categories, every morphism $f$ factors uniquely as $f=\eta_f \circ \pi_f$ where $\eta_f$ is order-preserving and $\pi_f$ is a quasi\-bijection that is order-preserving on the fibres of $\eta_f$. We call it…

If $\mathscr{M}$ is a model category and $\mathcal{U}: \mathscr{A} \rightarrow \mathscr{M}$ is a functor, we defined a Quillen-Segal $\mathcal{U}$-object as a weak equivalence $\mathscr{F}: s(\mathscr{F}) \xrightarrow{\sim} t(\mathscr{F})$…

We show that the classification diagram of a relative $\infty$-category arising from a relative simplicial category is equivalent to the levelwise nerve. Applications include the comparison of the diagonal of the levelwise nerve and the…

In this paper we describe two ways on which cofibred categories give rise to bisimplicial sets. The "fibred nerve" is a natural extension of Segal's classical nerve of a category, and it constitutes an alternative simplicial description of…

We describe a category of Feynman graphs and show how it relates to compact symmetric multicategories (coloured modular operads) just as linear orders relate to categories and rooted trees relate to multicategories. More specifically we…

We develop a notion of iterated monoidal category and show that this notion corresponds in a precise way to the notion of iterated loop space. Specifically the group completion of the nerve of such a category is an iterated loop space and…

We introduce the notion of a definable category--a category equivalent to a full subcategory of a locally finitely presentable category that is closed under products, directed colimits and pure subobjects. Definable subcategories are…

We show that a regular cover of a general topological space provides structure similar to a triangulation. In this general setting we define analogues of simplicial maps and prove their existence and uniqueness up to homotopy. As an…

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…
