A Simplicial Description of the Homotopy Category of Simplicial Groupoids

چکیده
In this paper we use Quillen’s model structure given by Dwyer-Kan for the category of simplicial groupoids (with discrete object of objects) to describe in this category, in the simplicial language, the fundamental homotopy theoretical constructions of path and cylinder objects. We then characterize the associated left and right homotopy relations in terms of simplicial identities and give a simplicial description of the homotopy category of simplicial groupoids. Finally, we show loop and suspension functors in the pointed case.

متن کاملClosed model categories for presheaves of simplicial groupoids and presheaves of 2-groupoids
We prove that the category of presheaves of simplicial groupoids and the category of presheaves of 2-groupoids have Quillen closed model structures. We also show that the homotopy categories associated to the two categories are equivalent to the homotopy categories of simplicial presheaves and homotopy 2-types, respectively.
متن کاملON THE HOMOTOPY THEORY OF n-TYPES
We achieve a classification of n-types of simplicial presheaves in terms of (n− 1)-types of presheaves of simplicial groupoids. This can be viewed as a description of the homotopy theory of higher stacks. As a special case we obtain a good homotopy theory of (weak) higher groupoids.
متن کاملDouble loop spaces, braided monoidal categories and algebraic 3-type of space
We show that the nerve of a braided monoidal category carries a natural action of a simplicial E2-operad and is thus up to group completion a double loop space. Shifting up dimension twice associates to each braided monoidal category a 1-reduced lax 3-category whose nerve realizes an explicit double delooping whenever all cells are invertible. We deduce that lax 3-groupoids are algebraic models...
متن کاملA Full and Faithful Nerve For
The notion of geometric nerve of a 2-category (Street, [18]) provides a full and faithful functor if regarded as defined on the category of 2-categories and lax 2-functors. Furthermore, lax 2-natural transformations between lax 2-functors give rise to homotopies between the corresponding sim-plicial maps. These facts allow us to prove a representation theorem of the general non abelian cohomolo...
