Presentation of finite Reedy categories as localizations of finite direct categories (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we present a novel construction that, for a given Reedy category $C$, produces a direct category $\operatorname{Down}(C)$ and a functor $\operatorname{Down}(C) \to C$, exhibiting $C$ as an $(\infty,1)$-categorical localization of $\operatorname{Down}(C)$. This result refines previous constructions in the literature by ensuring that $\operatorname{Down}(C)$ is finite whenever $C$ is finite—a property not guaranteed by existing approaches, such as those by Lurie or by Barwick and Kan. As an intended future application, this finiteness property is expected to be useful for embedding the construction into the syntax of a (non-infinitary) logic. In particular, I expect that the construction may be used to develop a meta-theory of finitely truncated simplicial types and other finite Reedy presheaves for homotopy type theory, thereby extending Kraus and Sattler's unfinished approach. This talk is based on arXiv:2502.05096.
