Comparison of models for $(\infty, n)$–categories, I

Julia E Bergner and Charles Rezk

Geometry & Topology 17 (2013) 2163–2202
Abstract

While many different models for (,1)–categories are currently being used, it is known that they are Quillen equivalent to one another. Several higher-order analogues of them are being developed as models for (,n)–categories. In this paper, we establish model structures for some naturally arising categories of objects which should be thought of as (,n)–categories. Furthermore, we establish Quillen equivalences between them.

Keywords
$(\infty, n)$–categories, $\Theta_n$–spaces, enriched categories
