A cellular set is a presheaf on the Theta-category (also called the cell category or (Joyal’s) disk category), analogous to how a simplicial set is a presheaf on the simplex category.
Cellular sets provide one approach to higher categories and abstract study of homotopy types, for example in Joyal’s approach to higher quasicategories, which are a variety of (∞,n)-categories (for ).
One detailed development of a model of (∞,n)-categories in terms of presheaves on disk categories is the notion of Theta space.
A cellular set that satisfies the cellular Segal condition is an omega-category.
There is a model category structure on presheaves on which models (∞,n)-categories. See at model structure on cellular sets and at n-quasicategory.
