Joyal's cylinder conjecture
For simplicial sets and , let be the category of cylinders from to . Thus an object is a simplicial set equipped with a map whose fibres over and are and , respectively. The category has terminal object , so every cylinder has a canonical morphism . A morphism in is between fibrant cylinders when both its source and target are fibrant in Joyal's model structure. Joyal's cylinder conjecture. A cylinder is fibrant if and only if the canonical morphism
is an inner fibration, and a morphism between fibrant cylinders in is a fibration if and only if it is an inner fibration. This characterizes the fibrant objects and fibrations between them in the Joyal model structure on cylinders; the source describes the statement as an open question, while the abstract reports that the paper proves it.
