Comparison of models for $(\infty, n)$-categories, II

In this paper we complete a chain of explicit Quillen equivalences between the model category for $Θ_{n+1}$-spaces and the model category of small categories enriched in $Θ_n$-spaces. The Quillen equivalences given here connect Segal category objects in $Θ_n$-spaces, complete Segal objects in $Θ_n$-spaces, and $Θ_{n+1}$-spaces.

Classification of problematic subgroups of U(n)

We classify p-toral subgroups of U(n) that can have non-contractible fixed points under the action of U(n) on the complex of partitions of complex n-space into mutually orthogonal subspaces.

2-Segal sets and the Waldhausen construction

It is known by results of Dyckerhoff-Kapranov and of Gálvez--Carrillo-Kock-Tonks that the output of the Waldhausen S.-construction has a unital 2-Segal structure. Here, we prove that a certain S.-functor defines an equivalence between the category of augmented stable double categories and the category of unital 2-Segal sets. The inverse equivalence is described explicitly by a path construction. We illustrate the equivalence for the known examples of partial monoids, cobordism categories with genus constraints and graph coalgebras.

Diagrams encoding group actions on $Γ$-spaces

We introduce, for any group $G$, a category $GΓ$ such that diagrams $GΓ\rightarrow \mathcal{SS}ets$ satisfying a Segal condition correspond to infinite loop spaces with a $G$-action. We also consider diagrams which encode group actions on infinite loop spaces where the group may vary.

Equivariant complete Segal spaces

In this paper we give a model for equivariant $(\infty, 1)$-categories. We modify an approach of Shimakawa for equivariant $Γ$-spaces to the setting of simplicial spaces. We then adapt Rezk's Segal and completeness conditions to fit with this setting.

Cluster categories for topologists

We consider triangulated orbit categories, with the motivating example of cluster categories, in their usual context of algebraic triangulated categories, then present them from another perspective in the framework of topological triangulated categories.

Reedy categories which encode the notion of category actions

We study a certain type of action of categories on categories and on operads. Using the structure of the categories Δ and Ω governing category and operad structures, respectively, we define categories which instead encode the structure of a category acting on a category, or a category acting on an operad. We prove that the former has the structure of an elegant Reedy category, whereas the latter has the structure of a generalized Reedy category. In particular, this approach gives a new way to regard group actions on categories and on operads.

Homotopy colimits of model categories

Building on a previous definition of homotopy limit of model categories, we give a definition of homotopy colimit of model categories. Using the complete Segal space model for homotopy theories, we verify that this definition corresponds to the model-category-theoretic definition in that setting.

Fixed points of $p$-toral groups acting on partition complexes

We consider the action of $p$-toral subgroups of $U(n)$ on the unitary partition complex $\mathcal L_n$. We show that if $H\subseteq U(n)$ is $p$-toral and has noncontractible fixed points on $\mathcal L_n$, then the image of $H$ in the projective unitary group $U(n)/S^{1}$ is an elementary abelian $p$-group.

Group actions on Segal operads

We give a Quillen equivalence between model structures for simplicial operads, described via the theory of operads, and Segal operads, thought of as certain reduced dendroidal spaces. We then extend this result to give an Quillen equivalence between the model structures for simplicial operads equipped with a group action and the corresponding Segal operads.

Adding inverses to diagrams II: Invertible homotopy theories are spaces

In previous work, we showed that there are appropriate model category structures on the category of simplicial categories and on the category of Segal precategories, and that they are Quillen equivalent to one another and to Rezk's complete Segal space model structure on the category of simplicial spaces. Here, we show that these results still hold if we instead use groupoid or "invertible" cases. Namely, we show that model structures on the categories of simplicial groupoids, Segal pregroupoids, and invertible simplicial spaces are all Quillen equivalent to one another and to the standard model structure on the category of spaces. We prove this result using two different approaches to invertible complete Segal spaces and Segal groupoids.

Adding inverses to diagrams encoding algebraic structures

We modify a previous result, which showed that certain diagrams of spaces are essentially simplicial monoids, to construct diagrams of spaces which model simplicial groups. Furthermore, we show that these diagrams can be generalized to models for Segal groupoids. We then modify Segal's model for simplicial abelian monoids in such a way that it becomes a model for simplicial abelian groups.

Reedy categories and the $Θ$-construction

We use the notion of multi-Reedy category to prove that, if $\mathcal C$ is a Reedy category, then $Θ\mathcal C$ is also a Reedy category. This result gives a new proof that the categories $Θ_n$ are Reedy categories. We then define elegant Reedy categories, for which we prove that the Reedy and injective model structures coincide.

Models for $(\infty, n)$-categories and the cobordism hypothesis

In this paper we introduce the models for $(\infty, n)$-categories which have been developed to date, as well as the comparisons between them that are known and conjectured. We review the role of $(\infty, n)$-categories in the proof of the Cobordism Hypothesis.

Derived Hall algebras for stable homotopy theories

In this paper we extend Toën's derived Hall algebra construction, in which he obtains unital associative algebras from certain stable model categories, to one in which such algebras are obtained from more general stable homotopy theories, in particular stable complete Segal spaces satisfying appropriate finiteness assumptions.

Homotopy limits of model categories and more general homotopy theories

Generalizing a definition of homotopy fiber products of model categories, we give a definition of the homotopy limit of a diagram of left Quillen functors between model categories. As has been previously shown for homotopy fiber products, we prove that such a homotopy limit does in fact correspond to the usual homotopy limit, when we work in a more general model for homotopy theories in which they can be regarded as objects of a model category.

Comparison of models for $(\infty, n)$-categories, I

While many different models for $(\infty,1)$-categories are currently being used, it is known that they are Quillen equivalent to one another. Several higher-order analogues of them are being developed as models for $(\infty, n)$-categories. In this paper, we establish model structures for some naturally arising categories of objects which should be thought of as $(\infty,n)$-categories. Furthermore, we establish Quillen equivalences between them.
