Plus construction on Simplicial Sets?

I had asked this question in Math StackExchange a few days ago, but didn't get any answers. I believe its more suitable to be asked here. Write $\mathsf{sSet}$ for the category of simplicial sets and $...

Almost acyclicity of the complex of configuration spaces of noncollinear points in projective plane over finite fields

Let $F$ be a finite field with many elements, say more than 7 for example, and $X$ be the corresponding projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2(F)$. For a set of points in $X$, if any three of them are ...

Is this a model for $K$-theory of a triangulated category?

The recent question Complete the following sequence: point, triangle, octahedron, . . . in a dg-category reminded me of something I wanted to clarify long time ago; most likely this is now well known ...

homology of $B S^{-1} S$ computation in the proof that $+ = Q$

Let $S$ denote the category of projective (left) $R$-modules with isomorphisms for arrows. We have that $BS^{-1}S \sim B \text{GL}(R)^+ \times K_0(R)$ In proving this, in Srinivas' algebraic K-...

Simplicial sets from bisimplicial sets, and their realisations.

From a bisimplicial space $T$, one can consider the simplicial spaces $\underline p \mapsto T_{pp} $, $\underline p \mapsto |\underline q \mapsto T_{pq} |$, and $\underline q \mapsto |\underline p \...

Are connected categories with pullbacks weakly contractible?

Quillen's Theorem A says that a functor between (small) categories $f:I\rightarrow J$ induces a weak equivalence of the nerves if for each $j\in J$ the comma category $f/j$ is weakly contractible. In ...

Nerves of simplicial objects in categories/Waldhausen's S-construction

Is there a good nerve-like functor from simplicial objects in categories to simplicial sets which takes level-wise equivalences of categories to weak equivalences? To give this some context, I'd ...

Geometric Realization of a Simplicial Category

Let $S:\varDelta^{op}\to (cat)$ be a functor where the category on the right is the category whose objects are categories with cofibrations and morphisms are exact functors(from Waldhausen's paper, ...
