    Definition

    Suppose CC is a category that admits small coproducts.

    Given simplicial objects A,BC Δ opA,B\in C^{\Delta^{op}}, their function complex is a simplicial set

    Hom(A,B)Hom(A,B)

    whose set of nn-simplices is the set of maps

    Δ nAB,\Delta^n\otimes A\to B,

    where \otimes denotes the copowering of simplicial objects over simplicial sets given by

    (CD) n= iC nD n.(C\otimes D)_n=\coprod_{i\in C_n}D_n.

    Looking over the entry now, I have adjusted the previous notation a little in order to avoid a couple of clashes:

    • the notation “Hom” for the simplicial hom-complex I have replaced with “Hom ΔHom_\Delta

    • the letter “CC” used to denote both the ambient category as well as a simplicial set tensor factor. I have changed to writing “𝒞\mathcal{C}” for the former and “SS” for the latter.

    Also expanded the presentation just a little.

    I have spelled out in the detail the example (now here) of the evaluation map on simplicial function complexes which are nerves of inertia groupoids.
