Classification conjecture for absolutely cartesian cubes of spaces
Let an -cube of spaces be a diagram indexed by the powerset of , and call it absolutely cartesian when every homotopy functor sends it to a homotopy cartesian cube. A map of two -cubes is an -cube whose two constituent -dimensional faces are the source and target cubes; cubes of these types can be composed along a shared face. Classification conjecture. An -cube of spaces is absolutely cartesian if and only if it can be written as either a map of two absolutely cartesian -cubes or a chain of compositions of -cubes of these types. The forward implication is unknown in general; the reverse implication follows from the inductive construction described in the paper, with the square case supplied by the classification theorem proved there.
