We present a functor which exhibits the latter as the $\\infty$-categorical localisation of the former at the objectwise weak homotopy equivalences. This builds on a Quillen equivalence between the projective and covariant model structures associated to $C$ due to Heuts-Moerdijk, as well as Cisinski's theory of $\\infty$-categorical localisations. We use the localisation functor to give simplified proofs that the left (resp. right) homotopy Kan extension of diagrams of simplicial sets presents the $\\infty$-categorical left (resp. right) Kan extension of coherent diagrams of spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-07-29T11:04:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "simplicial sets", "categorical localisation functor", "shaped homotopy coherent diagrams", "homotopy kan extension", "objectwise weak homotopy equivalences" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
