Abstract

A duoidal category is a category equipped with two monoidal structures in which one is (op)lax monoidal with respect to the other. In this paper we introduce duoidal \infty-categories which are counterparts of duoidal categories in the setting of \infty-categories. There are three kinds of functors between duoidal \infty-categories, which are called bilax, double lax, and double oplax monoidal functors. We make three formulations of \infty-categories of duoidal \infty-categories according to which functors we take. Furthermore, corresponding to the three kinds of functors, we define bimonoids, double monoids, and double comonoids in duoidal \infty-categories.
