A cartesian presentation of weak $n$–categories

Charles Rezk

Geometry & Topology 14 (2010) 521–571
Abstract

We propose a notion of weak (n + k,n)–category, which we call (n + k,n)Θ–spaces. The (n + k,n)Θ–spaces are precisely the fibrant objects of a certain model category structure on the category of presheaves of simplicial sets on Joyal’s category  Θn. This notion is a generalization of that of complete Segal spaces (which are precisely the (,1)Θ–spaces). Our main result is that the above model category is cartesian.

Keywords
$n$–categories, complete Segal spaces
