Cores and localizations of $(\infty,\infty)$-categories

Algebraic Topology 2026-03-12 v1 Category Theory

Abstract

We consider (,d)(\infty,d)-categories in the limit dd\to \infty via the core or localization functors that forget or invert higher non-invertible arrows, respectively. We compare the two resulting (,1)(\infty,1)-categories of (,)(\infty,\infty)-categories and exhibit the localization-limit as a reflective localization of the core-limit. On the side, we study intermediate localizations that arise from notions of invertibility that only emerge at d=d=\infty such as the one defined by coinduction.
