Abstract

In this paper we prove that various quasi-categories whose objects are \(\infty \)-categories in a very general sense are complete: admitting limits indexed by all simplicial sets. This result and others of a similar flavor follow from a general theorem in which we characterize the data that is required to define a limit cone in a quasi-category constructed as a homotopy coherent nerve. Since all quasi-categories arise this way up to equivalence, this analysis covers the general case. Namely, we show that quasi-categorical limit cones may be modeled at the point-set level by pseudo homotopy limit cones, whose shape is governed by the weight for pseudo limits over a homotopy coherent diagram but with the defining universal property up to equivalence, rather than isomorphism, of mapping spaces. Our applications follow from the fact that the \((\infty ,1)\)-categorical core of an \(\infty \)-cosmos admits weighted homotopy limits for all flexible weights, which includes in particular the weight for pseudo cones.

Fußnoten
1
Known \(\infty \)-cosmoi of \((\infty ,n)\)-categories include \(\theta _n\)-spaces, iterated complete Segal spaces, n-complicial sets, and n-quasi-categories.
 
2
Here we show that the codomain of the comparison map in (4.1.9) is a quasi-category by applying Proposition 4.1.5 in the \(\infty \)-cosmos of quasi-categories.
 
3
The simplicial computads are the cofibrant objects [12, §16.2] in the model structure on simplicial categories due to Bergner [2].
 
4
For bookkeeping reasons it is convenient to adopt the convention that atomic arrows are not identities, though in a simplicial computad the identities will also admit no non-trivial factorisations. With this convention, an identity arrow factors uniquely as an empty composite of atomic arrows.
 
5
For more details about the Leibniz or “pushout-product” construction see [13, §4].
