Theorem A for marked 2-categories. (English) Zbl 1495.18026

Summary: In this work, we prove a generalization of Quillen’s Theorem A to 2-categories equipped with a special set of morphisms which we think of as weak equivalences, providing sufficient conditions for a 2-functor to induce an equivalence on \((\infty, 1)\)-localizations. When restricted to 1-categories with all morphisms marked, our theorem retrieves the classical Theorem A of Quillen. We additionally state and provide evidence for a new conjecture: the cofinality conjecture, which describes the relation between a conjectural theory of marked \((\infty, 2)\)-colimits and our generalization of Theorem A.
