Absolute cartesian–cocartesian equivalence conjecture for cubes of spaces

About 13 years old · traced to

Let an nn-cube be a diagram of spaces indexed by the powerset of [n]={0,1,…,n}[n]=\{0,1,\ldots,n\}. A diagram is absolutely cartesian if every homotopy functor sends it to a homotopy cartesian diagram, and absolutely cocartesian if every homotopy functor sends it to a homotopy cocartesian diagram. Absolute cartesian–cocartesian equivalence conjecture. An nn-cube is absolutely cartesian if and only if it is absolutely cocartesian. The paper observes that absolutely cartesian squares are also absolutely cocartesian, but states that the equivalence for general nn-cubes is an additional conjecture whose status is not settled.
