The biequivalence and infinity-properad conjecture for labelled cospan categories
The biequivalence and infinity-properad conjecture for labelled cospan categories
A labelled cospan category is a symmetric monoidal category equipped with a symmetric monoidal functor to the category of cospans satisfying the pullback condition specified in the source. A labelled infinity-cospan category is a symmetric monoidal -category equipped with a symmetric monoidal functor satisfying the analogous pullback condition. Let be the -category of symmetric monoidal -categories, and let be the full subcategory of on such labelled infinity-cospan categories. Labelled cospan–properad conjecture. There is a biequivalence between the -category of labelled cospan categories and the -category of coloured properads, and is equivalent to the -category of -properads. The conjecture relates labelled cospan categories and labelled infinity-categories of cospans to the established notions of coloured and infinity-properads; the source suggests it as a proposed comparison, with no resolution stated.
