Definition

The category sSet +sSet_+ of augmented simplicial sets is the category of presheaves on the augmented version of the simplex category Δ a\Delta_a:

sSet +:=Set Δ a op. sSet_+ := Set^{\Delta^{op}_a} \,.

This is the category whose objects are augmented simplicial sets and whose morphisms are the evident morphisms between these.

Applications

The join of simplicial sets is most naturally defined via a construction on augmented simplicial sets.
