For each of these $K$-theory multifunctors, we describe an explicit homotopy inverse functor. As a separate application of our general results about pointed diagram categories, we observe that the right-induced homotopy theory of Bohmann-Osorno $\\mathcal{E}_*$-categories is equivalent to the homotopy theory of pointed simplicial categories.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-05-17T14:34:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "18M65", "55P42", "55P48", "18F25" ], "keywords": [ "equivalence", "multifunctorial", "theory multifunctors", "explicit homotopy inverse functor", "simplicial sets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
