## Definition

A cosimplicial simplicial set is a cosimplicial object in the category of simplicial sets, hence a functor

$\Delta \to sSet$

which equivalently is a functor

$\Delta \times \Delta^{op} \to Set \,.$

There is an eviden model category structure on $sSet^{\Delta}$ which models cosimplicial infinity groupoids.

## Properties

### Model structure

There are several standard ways to equip $sSet^\Delta$ with the structure of a model category. See model structure on cosimplicial simplicial sets for more.

### Homotopy and homology

The homotopy groups of the totalization of a cosimplicial homotopy type are computed by a Bousfield-Kan spectral sequence. The homology groups by an Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence.
