弱$ω$ -范畴为$ω$ -超图

Weak $ω$-categories as $ω$-hypergraphs

Hiroyuki Miyoshi, Toru Tsujishita

摘要:

本文首先介绍超图的一个高维类似物,即$ω$ -超图。这个概念非常灵活,因为与普通的$ω$ -图不同,称为n-胞腔的n维边有许多源和目标。此外,单元格具有极性,单元格的粘贴通过极性被隐式地定义。作为例子,我们还给出了一些已知的$ω$ -超图的结构。然后我们定义了一类特殊的$ω$ -超图,即有向$ω$ -超图,它是由有向的单元构成的。最后,在此基础上构造了弱$ω$ -范畴.它是Baez和Dolan给出的弱n范畴的$ω$维变体。我们引入了$ω$ -相同的,$ω$ -可逆的和$ω$ -通用的细胞代替Baez-Dolan的通用性和平衡性。我们定义范畴的整个过程,是与把范畴看作是具有合成和恒等式的图的方式并行的。

英文摘要:

In this paper, firstly, we introduce a higher-dimensional analogue of hypergraphs, namely $ω$-hypergraphs. This notion is thoroughly flexible because unlike ordinary $ω$-graphs, an n-dimensional edge called an n-cell has many sources and targets. Moreover, cells have polarity, with which pasting of cells is implicitly defined. As examples, we also give some known structures in terms of $ω$-hypergraphs. Then we specify a special type of $ω$-hypergraph, namely directed $ω$-hypergraphs, which are made of cells with direction. Finally, besed on them, we construct our weak $ω$-categories. It is an $ω$-dimensional variant of the weak n-categoreis given by Baez and Dolan. We introduce $ω$-identical, $ω$-invertible and $ω$-universal cells instead of universality and balancedness of Baez-Dolan. The whole process of our definition is in parallel with the way of regarding categories as graphs with composition and identities.
