The Catalan simplicial set II

Category Theory 2015-06-23 v1

Abstract

The Catalan simplicial set C\mathbb{C} is known to classify skew-monoidal categories in the sense that a map from C\mathbb{C} to a suitably defined nerve of Cat\mathrm{Cat} is precisely a skew-monoidal category \cite{Catalan1}. We extend this result to the case of skew monoidales internal to any monoidal bicategory B\mathcal{B}. We then show that monoidal bicategories themselves are classified by maps from C\mathbb{C} to a suitably defined nerve of Bicat\mathrm{Bicat} and extend this result to obtain a definition of skew-monoidal bicategory that aligns with existing theory.
