By comparing the notions of regular epimorphism and effective epimorphism with that of effective epimorphism in an (∞,1)-category, we propose to call a morphism in an (∞,1)-category a regular epimorphism if it is the colimit of some simplicial diagram, i.e. if there exists a functor , such that is the colimiting cocone
over this diagram.
Equivalently, this is a morphism such that for all objects the induced morphism is a regular monomorphism in an (∞,1)-category in the (∞,1)-category ∞Grpd.
Warning. Such a morphism may not be an epimorphism in an (∞,1)-category (i.e. a monomorphism in the opposite category).
If has a Cech nerve and is a regular epimorphism above, does it follow that it is the colimit of its Cech nerve (that is, that it is an effective epimorphism in an (∞,1)-category)?
Is there a notion of a strict epimorphism in an (∞,1)-category?
