Zusammenfassung: | We show that diagrammatic sets, a topologically sound alternative to
polygraphs and strict $\omega$-categories, admit an internal notion of
equivalence in the sense of coinductive weak invertibility. We prove that
equivalences have the expected properties: they include all degenerate cells,
are closed under 2-out-of-3, and satisfy an appropriate version of the
"division lemma", which ensures that enwrapping a diagram with equivalences at
all sides is an invertible operation up to higher equivalence. On the way to
this result, we develop methods, such as an algebraic calculus of natural
equivalences, for handling the weak units and unitors which set this framework
apart from strict $\omega$-categories. |
