View on Github →feat(AlgebraicTopology/SimplicialSet): paths and the strict segal condition (#18499)
A path in a simplicial set X
of length n
is a directed path comprised of n
1-simplices.
An n
-simplex has a maximal path, the spine
of the simplex, which is a path of length n
. A simplicial set X
satisfies the StrictSegal
condition if for all n
, the map X.spine n : X _[n] → X.Path n
is a bijection.
Examples of StrictSegal
simplicial sets are given by nerves of categories. Future work will show these are the only examples: that a StrictSegal
simplicial set is isomorphic to the nerve of its homotopy category.
