The coherator $\Theta^{\infty}_W$ of cubical weak $\infty$-categories with connections
Abstract
This work exhibits two applications of the combinatorial approach in [12] of the small category $\Theta_0$ which objects are cubical pasting diagrams. First we provide an accurate description of the monad $\mathbb{S}=(S,\lambda,\mu)$ acting on the category ${\mathbb{C}\mathbb{S}\text{ets}}$ of cubical sets (without degeneracies and connections), which algebras are cubical strict $\infty$-categories with connections, and show that this monad is cartesian, which solve a conjecture in \cite{camark-cub}. Secondly we give a precise construction of the cubical coherator $\Theta^{\infty}_W$ which set-models are cubical weak $\infty$-categories with connections, and we also give a precise construction of the cubical coherator $\Theta^{\infty}_{W^{0}}$ which set-models are cubical weak $\infty$-groupoids with connections.
