Weakly unital strict groupoids model truncated spaces
Let be a nonnegative integer. Consider the category of weakly unital strict -groupoids, its equivalences, and the category of -truncated spaces with weak equivalences. Let denote localization at the indicated class of morphisms. Weakly unital strict groupoid conjecture. There are functors
and
between weakly unital strict -groupoids and -truncated spaces, in the usual opposite directions, together with adjunction morphisms inducing an equivalence
The source reports that Joyal and Kock proved this conjecture for ; the general case is left unresolved there.
