The Quillen equivalence conjecture for Segal categories and quasi-categories

About 23 years old · traced to

Let PrCatPrCat be the model category of Segal precategories, let QCatQCat be the model category of quasi-categories, and let ϕ:PrCat→QCat\phi:PrCat\to QCat and ψ:QCat→PrCat\psi:QCat\to PrCat be the adjoint functors described in the source, with ψ\psi left adjoint to ϕ\phi. Quillen equivalence conjecture. The adjunction

ψ:QCat⟶PrCatQCat⟵PrCat:ϕ\psi:QCat\longrightarrow PrCat\qquad QCat\longleftarrow PrCat:\phi

is a Quillen equivalence. This is one of the source's conjectural comparison statements among homotopy theories of higher categories; the surrounding discussion places it alongside comparisons with complete Segal spaces and simplicial categories.
