    infinity-category

    I just added a link to Lurie's "What is...?" paper.

    But note that that article is about (∞,1)(\infty, 1)-categories.

    Thanks Adeel! We were indeed lacking that reference.

    While David is of course right about what he says above, on the other hand our old and woefully neglected entry ∞-category didn’t really make that clear at all, nor did it really point to (∞,1)-category.

    I have now added a few paragraphs to the Idea-section at ∞-category that try to amplify that the term “∞\infty-category” is used to mean two rather different things, and that one of these meaning is discussed not in this entry, but in (∞,1)-category.

    I also moved the What is…-reference to (∞,1)-category.

    Nice!

  5. Fixed the link to “Higher-Dimensional Categories: An Illustrated Guidebook” (now at Eugenia Cheng’s personal website, no longer at Sheffield).

    To avoid this “link rot” of references I have adopted the habit of uploading to the nLab server non-stably hosted author pdf-s that I care about.

    Added the reference

    • Zach Goldthorpe, Homotopy theories of (∞,∞)(\infty,\infty)-categories as universal fixed points with respect to enrichment [arXiv:2307.00442]

    Do we still want to say the following?:

    While there are several existing proposed definitions for what a single ∞-category is, in the most general sense, there is no real understanding of the correct morphisms between them, hence of the correct (∞,1)-category of ∞-categories. But this may of course change with time.

    This article is strange. I propose to make it a disambiguation page for (∞,1)-category and (∞,∞)-category, and most of the material can be moved to (∞,∞)-category.

    In fact, we do not have a separate article for (∞,∞)-categories, and the term redirects to this page. So perhaps this article could be renamed to (∞,∞)-category, and a new disambiguation page ∞-category could be created then.

    I have cleared this old entry and added a few new paragraphs from scratch. This leaves much room for further expansion.

    moving all the old references on n-categories to n-category.
