nLab cubical object in an (infinity,1)-category

Contents

Idea

The cubical analogue of a simplicial object in an (infinity,1)-category.

Definition

Let \Box denote a category of cubes, and let CC be an ( , 1 ) (\infty,1) -category.

Definition

A cubical object in CC is an (∞,1)-functor

X: opC X \colon \Box^{op} \to C

from the opposite category of \Box into CC.

Definition

The (,1)(\infty,1)-category of cubical objects in CC and morphisms between them is the (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-functors

C op=Func ( op,C). C^{\Box^{op}} = Func_\infty(\Box^{op}, C) \,.

If CC is 1-truncated, then a cubical object in CC is just a cubical object in the traditional sense of category theory.
