Simplicial sets #

A simplicial set is just a simplicial object in Type, i.e. a Type-valued presheaf on the simplex category.

(One might be tempted to call these "simplicial types" when working in type-theoretic foundations, but this would be unnecessarily confusing given the existing notion of a simplicial type in homotopy type theory.)

We define the standard simplices Δ[n] as simplicial sets, and their boundaries ∂Δ[n] and horns Λ[n, i]. (The notations are available via Open Simplicial.)

Future work #

There isn't yet a complete API for simplices, boundaries, and horns. As an example, we should have a function that constructs from a non-surjective order preserving function Fin n → Fin n a morphism Δ[n] ⟶ ∂Δ[n].

def SSet :
Type (u + 1)
