    started entry on stabilization (in the sense of sending an (oo,1)-category to its free stable (infinity,1)-category)

    I want to eventually state more properties of the effect of stabilization on objects here.

    What is the stabilization of the nerve of the category of sets? Is it the nerve of the category of abelian groups? I would like to compute this explicitly in terms of reduced excisive functors, but I'm having trouble.

    Nice question! I haven’t thought about it quasi-categorically, but (∞,1)(\infty, 1)-limits in the nerve of a category should just be ordinary limits, and then the loop space functor is trivial (takes everything to the point).

    One can also observe that the nerve of the category of abelian groups cannot really be stable, since its homotopy category would then be triangulated, and any such structure (if there even exists one?) will be very artificial/trivial.

    I would say that to make the analogy precise, one can proceed as follows. One observes that the definition of a stable (∞,1)(\infty, 1)-category is a categorification of the notion of an abelian category. The category of abelian groups is the ’free abelian category on the category of sets’, and the (∞,1)(\infty, 1)-category of spectra is the ’free stable (∞,1)(\infty, 1)-category on the (∞,1)(\infty, 1)-category of spaces’. But the actual construction of these things is different, and only exists under circumstances which are more or less mutually exclusive (localisation of category of presheaves of sets vs (∞,1)(\infty, 1)-localisation of (∞,1)(\infty, 1)-category of presheaves of spaces).

    The stabilization of the category of sets is zero. An object in Stab(Set) is a sequence of pointed sets (E 0,E 1,…)(E_0, E_1, \ldots) together with isomorphisms Ω(E i+1)≃E i\Omega(E_{i+1}) \simeq E_i. But Ω(X)=*× X*≃*\Omega(X) = \ast \times_X \ast \simeq \ast for every pointed set XX. So every object is isomorphic to (*,*,…)(\ast, \ast, \ldots). The space of endomorphisms of this object is a limit of the endomorphism spaces Map Set *(*,*)≃*Map_{Set_*}(\ast, \ast) \simeq \ast, which is again contractible.

  9. Yes, this is what I had in mind when I wrote that the loop space functor is trivial.

    Thank you for the answers. This clears up the fact that the existence of a nontrivial loop functor on the ∞\infty-category of pointed spaces is something which significantly distinguishes ∞\infty-category theory from ordinary category theory (where the category of pointed sets has trivial loop functor).
