Nerves and Classifying Spaces for Bicategories
This paper explores the relationship amongst the various simplicial and pseudo-simplicial objects characteristically associated to any bicategory C. It proves the fact that the geometric realizations of all of these possible candidate ‘nerves of C’ are homotopy equivalent. Any one of these realizations could therefore be taken as the classifying space BC of the bicategory. Its other major resul...
متن کامل2-nerves for bicategories
We describe a Cat-valued nerve of bicategories, which associates to every bicategory a simplicial object in Cat, called the 2-nerve. This becomes the object part of a 2-functor N : NHom → [∆,Cat], where NHom is a 2-category whose objects are bicategories and whose 1-cells are normal homomorphisms of bicategories. The 2-functor N is fully faithful and has a left biadjoint, and we characterize it...
متن کاملClassifying Spaces for Braided Monoidal Categories and Lax Diagrams of Bicategories
This work contributes to clarifying several relationships between certain higher categorical structures and the homotopy type of their classifying spaces. Bicategories (in particular monoidal categories) have well understood simple geometric realizations, and we here deal with homotopy types represented by lax diagrams of bicategories, that is, lax functors to the tricategory of bicategories. I...
متن کاملClassifying Spaces and Spectral Sequences
Remark 1.3. One can see that if BG exists, it is unique up to weak equivalence by the Yoneda lemma and the fact that every space is weakly equivalent to a CW complex. We will construct two different models of BG, the classical one from Milnor, and one from Segal. The latter will have the advantage that B(G× G′) ∼= BG× BG′ Proposition 1.4. If EG is a weakly contractible space with a free action ...
متن کاملClassifying Spaces and Homology Decompositions
Suppose that G is a finite group. We look at the problem of expressing the classifying space BG, up to mod p cohomology, as a homotopy colimit of classifying spaces of smaller groups. A number of interesting tools come into play, such as simplicial sets and spaces, nerves of categories, equivariant homotopy theory, and the transfer.
