Quasicategories #
In this file we define quasicategories, a common model of infinity categories. We show that every Kan complex is a quasicategory.
In Mathlib/AlgebraicTopology/Nerve.lean
we show (TODO) that the nerve of a category is a quasicategory.
TODO #
- Generalize the definition to higher universes.
See the corresponding TODO in
Mathlib/AlgebraicTopology/KanComplex.lean.
A simplicial set S is a quasicategory if it satisfies the following horn-filling condition:
for every n : ℕ and 0 < i < n,
every map of simplicial sets σ₀ : Λ[n, i] → S can be extended to a map σ : Δ[n] → S.
