Part of higher category theory that for instance in Algebraic Topology enables us to capture finer homotopic distinctions. As in say Eilenberg-Maclane spaces.

Conservative cocompletion of categories of geometric shapes for homotopy theory

I don't really see a way to give a single answer here, these are 7 different questions (well actually a lot more than 7 if we count all the different flavours of cubes, and of the other ones, probably …

A possible alternative model for $\infty$-groupoids

It is known that the category of finite non-empty set is a test category, in particular there exists a model structure on the category of presheaf on $Fin_+$ whose cofibrations are the monomorphisms a …

Does $\infty$-categorical localization commute with taking directed fibered products?

Here is a counter example in the general case: Take $E = [1] = 0 \to 1 $. $D = \{0\} \coprod \{1\} $ and $C = \{1\}$. where all maps are weak equivalence. The lax-pullback is $\{id:1 \to 1\}$, and the …

Are $\infty$-categories functorially colimits of their simplices?

This is just an expended version of the comment. The answer to the question as asked is no. The problem is that for any ($\infty$-)category $J$ the category $D_J$ of functors $J \to Cat_\infty$ that a …

Well pointed endofunctors on $\infty$-categories

In $1$-category theory, a well pointed endofunctor of a category $C$, is an endofunctor $F:C \rightarrow C$ endowed with a natural transformation $\sigma : Id \rightarrow F$ such that the two natural …

Is there a "geometric definition" of globular $\infty$-groupoids/categories?

In short there isn't: the problem is that if you just have globular sets - and if you want $k$-cells to model $k$-arrows following the globular structure - then globular sets have no way of expressing …

$\infty$-topos and localic $\infty$-groupoids?

It's known that every classical (Grothendieck) topos is equivalent to the topos of sheaves on a localic groupoid (a groupoid in the category of locales). For the record, this is proved by, starting fo …

sSet-enriched categories, quasi-categories and the model-independent theory

This has not been done, and there are good reasons for it: While $sSet$-enriched categories are indeed very good to easily get examples of $\infty$-categories, they are very bad at understanding what …

$(n,1)$-dagger categories

Well, it is easy to give definitions, the problem is finding the "right" one. Here "right" can mean that gives the correct notion up to homotopy (many definition will be equivalent) but also it can me …

Intermediate notions of bilinearity in higher algebra

Let me clarify a bit what I meant in my comment on how the notion of bilinearity will depends on "how commutative" are $A$, $B$ and $C$, and this is one way to define a hierarchy of notion of bilinear …

Truncation of infinity-categories

There is a bit of notation to be careful about here: $\mathcal{X}_{\leqslant 1}$ is often used to denote the full subcategory of $\mathcal{X}$ of set-truncated object. For example if $\mathcal{X}$ is …

Pushout of quasi-categories with finite coproducts

A pushout $B \coprod_A C$ will almost never have all coproduct. the problem is that objects in $B \coprod_A C$ are all either objects of $B$ or objects of $C$, so if $B \coprod_A C$ has coproduct, it …

Can conservativity depend on the universe?

Probably not the best one can do, and what follows might be a bit 'overkill', but it answer the question about dependency on universe, and it is a nice argument. Also if you know how the proof of th …

Dennis trace map for stable $\infty$-category, naively
