Abstract
We study various acyclicity conditions on higher-categorical pasting diagrams in the combinatorial framework of regular directed complexes. We present an apparently weakest acyclicity condition under which the \(\omega \)-category presented by a diagram shape is freely generated in the sense of polygraphs. We then consider stronger conditions under which this \(\omega \)-category is equivalent to one obtained from an augmented directed chain complex in the sense of Steiner, or consists only of subsets of cells in the diagram. Finally, we study the stability of these conditions under the operations of pasting, suspensions, Gray products, joins and duals.
期刊介绍:
Applied Categorical Structures focuses on applications of results, techniques and ideas from category theory to mathematics, physics and computer science. These include the study of topological and algebraic categories, representation theory, algebraic geometry, homological and homotopical algebra, derived and triangulated categories, categorification of (geometric) invariants, categorical investigations in mathematical physics, higher category theory and applications, categorical investigations in functional analysis, in continuous order theory and in theoretical computer science. In addition, the journal also follows the development of emerging fields in which the application of categorical methods proves to be relevant.
Applied Categorical Structures publishes both carefully refereed research papers and survey papers. It promotes communication and increases the dissemination of new results and ideas among mathematicians and computer scientists who use categorical methods in their research.
