created Duskin nerve.
Would like to cite page and verse of Duskin’s artcile for where he defines something like the free bicatgeory on a simplex, but don’t appear to have the patience to dig through the document right now.

It seems to me that a more natural place for this article would be on the nLab, where it can be edited and updated.
Although by now it could probably be renamed to “Canadian School of Category Theory”.
I wrote fan theorem a while back but I never got around to announcing (or finishing what I wanted to do with it, but that’s OK).
I wrote down some standard facts about nonstandard models of Peano arithmetic at nonstandard model of arithmetic, and spelled out two proofs (really the same proof) that the ordering on the nonstandard part is always dense.
this is a bare subsection with a commented list of references, to be !included
where need be (such as at orbifold cohomology, Borel cohomology, Chen-Ruan cohomology)

am starting this with a minimum of an Idea-section, for the moment just so as to give a home to this reference:

-entry for hyperlinking references at proper equivariant homotopy theory
More propositions and stuff entered at bicategory of relations.
Added nucleus of a profunctor.
just a minimum for completeness, just so that one can say-and-link “complex cohomology” alongside “real cohomology” and “rational cohomology”

The minute before I had entered offline territory a few days ago, I had expanded the list of examples of (commuting) diagrams at diagram.
started 道德经, for the moment just in order to record one paragraph which I found strikingly translated by Yiao-Gang Wen, here on Physics.SE.
for hyperlinking references at model structure on diffeological spaces
have tried to brush-up the entry locally infinity-connected (infinity,1)-topos.
Kicked out a bunch of material that we had meanwhile copied over to their dedicated entries and tried to organize the remaining material a bit better. Need to work on locally infinity-connected site
Created Beck module, mentioned it (once) on the tangent category page.
a bare list of references, to be !include
-ed into the References-sections of relevant entries, such as at Skyrmion and at quantum hadrodynamics
added pointer to today’s
This page was titled “Seifert-van Kampen theorem” and contained nothing but the link to van Kampen theorem. I am “deleting” (clearing, renaming and thereby orphaning) it hereby and have instead created the proper redirect
Now I am working on the next chapter of “geometry of physics”: geometry of physics – supersymmetry.
A fair bit of material is in place now, but much is missing still. This here is mainly in case you are watching the logs and are wondering. At this point, if anyone has any edits to suggest (typo fixing or more substantial) maybe best to not touch the file yet but to tell me about it. Thanks!
I have renamed the entry on the -topos on into Euclidean-topological infinity-groupoid.
Then in the section Geometric homotopy I have written out statement and proof that
the intrinsic fundamental -groupoid functor in sends paracompact topological spaces to their traditional fundamental -groupoid
;
more generally, for a simplicial topological space we have
,
where on the left we hve geometric realization of simplicial sets, and on the right of (good) simplicial topological spaces.
I am giving this bare definition its own page, so that it can be conveniently !include

Added doi:10.1007/BFb0076928
I added a synthetic definition of open subspace due to Penon.
Just a definition (hope I got it right) and a couple properties. I wasn’t sure how to set up the redirects; currently “modest set” redirects here while “PER” redirects to partial equivalence relation, but other suggestions are welcome.
the old entry representation contained an old query box with some discussion.
I am hereby moving this old discussion from there to here:
+– {: .query} I don't agree with this business. A -linear representation of a group is a functor from to , period. Because has one object (or is pointed), we can pick out an object of , and it was remiss of me not to mention this (and the language ‘on ’ vs ‘in ’. But we usually don't want to actually be instead of ; when doing representation theory, we fix and fix (or fix in some other way), but we don't fix . —Toby
If you look at the textbooks of representation of groups, then they start with representation of groups as homomorphisms of groups, that is just functors. Then they say, that usually the target groups are groups of automorphisms of some other objects. And at the end they say that one usually restricts just to linear automorphisms of linear objects when linearizing the general problematics to the linear one. Now the fact that in some special case there is a category which expresses the same fact does not extend to other symmetry objects, like for representations of vertex operator algebras, pseudotensor categories etc. I mean End(something) or Aut(something) is just inner end in some setup like in closed monoidal category, but there are symmetries in mathematics which have a notion of End of Aut for a single object but do not have good notion of category one level up which has inner homs leading to the same End or Aut. Conceptually actions are about endosymmetries or symmetries (automorphisms) being reducable to categorical ones but not necessarily, I think. In a way you say that you are sure that any symmetry of another object can be expressed internally in some sort of a higher category of such objects, what is to large extent true, but I am sure not for absolutely all examples.
(for “on” terminology:) Ross Street uses monads in a 2-category and monads on a 1-category and I know of no objects in category theory.
Another important thing is that the endomorphisms are by definitions often equipped with some additional (e.g. topological) structure which is not necessarily coming from some enrichement of the category of objects. –Zoran
(Zoran on word “classical representation” being just for groups: so the representations of associative algebras, Lie algebras, Leibniz algebras, topological groups, quivers, are not classical ??).
I am starting to bring (infinity,n)-category into shape. So far I have
rewritten the Idea-section
added a bare minimum of the axiomatic characterization
added references
also polished n-category a bit.
My plan ist to add now technical details to the entry. Let’s see how far I get.
Redirect to category of monoids.
I noticed that augmented simplicial set did not point anywhere, so i created the entry. But have no energy to put anything of substance there right now.
Removed ’∞-groupoids’ redirect in favour of infinity-groupoid.
