Are hammock localizations locally truncated?
Your calculation is correct. For every two objects $X, Y \in \mathcal{C}$, the hom space $L^H\mathcal{C}(X,Y)$ has the right lifting property against $\partial \Delta^n \to \Delta^n$ for $n \geq 3$.

Is every category a localization of a poset?
Yes, this is true. It follows form the work of Barwick and Kan on relative categories as a model for $\infty$-categories.
The idea is similar to how Thomason's work shows that every homotopy type can …

What is the free symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category on one object?
Yes, it is the same as $\mathbb{F}$.
As John Baez points out, it is the same as the free symmetric monoidal $\infty$-groupoid on one object. (This can also be seen by playing around with the adjoints …

Invertible matrices of natural numbers are permutations... why?
I have heard the following statement several times and I suspect that there is an easy and elegant proof of this fact which I am just not seeing.
Question: Why is it true that an invertible nxn …

An explicit expression for the naturality of the Serre automorphism in the bicategory of alg...
We will use the fact that $M$ is invertible. Let ${}_BN_A$ be an inverse to $M$. Thus we have isomorphisms
$${}_AM \otimes_B N_A \cong {}_AA_A$$
and
$${}_BN \otimes_A M_B \cong {}_BB_B$$
If we make th …

Is the simplicial nerve a localization?
This is not true. Here is a counter example. We let $\mathcal{C}_*$ be the following simplicial category. It has two objects 0 and 1. Their only endomorphisms are the identity. There are no morphisms …

Is there an accepted definition of $(\infty,\infty)$ category?
One thing that might interest you is my result with Clark Barwick which gives an axiomatiation + uniqueness result for the homotopy theory of higher categories:

A Model Category of Segal Spaces?
So in Julie Bergner's work on $(\infty, 1)$-categories arXiv:0610239, she considers several model categories which model $(\infty, 1)$-categories, which are known to be equivalent. I'm guessing that t …

Are lax functor categories into a cartesian closed 2-category cartesian closed?
Suppose that $C$ is a complete closed monoidal category and $I$ is any small category. Then the functor category $Fun(I,C)$ is again a closed monoidal category with the pointwise tensor product $F \ot …

A model category for E-infty algebras in a non-monoidal model category?
Given a suitable nice symmetric monoidal category $C$, symmetric monoidally enriched, tensored, and cotensored over a symmetric monoidal category $S$, and an operad $\mathcal{O}$ in $S$, we can consid …

I assume you meant "symmetric monoidal functors".
Yes, this seems to hold. By your description you have constructed maps:

Do Homotopy Fully Faithful Functors Push-out?
The answer is yes, fully-faithful functors are stable under co-base change.
This is a model independent statement and so we can in particular take $\infty$-category to mean Segal categories. Then t …

Are higher categories useful?
Of course, personally, I think the answer is a big Yes!
