Abstract: | Let
be n-dimensional teisi, i.e., higher-dimensional Gray-categorical structures. The following questions can be asked. Does a left q-transfor
, i.e., a functor 2
q
, induce a right q-transfor
, i.e., a functor
More generally, does a functor
induce a functor
For k-arrows c and
whose (k – 1)-sources and targets agree, does a q-transfor
induce a q-transfor
, for appropriate k-arrows
For k-arrows c and
whose (k – 1)-sources and targets agree, does a q-transfor
induce a (q + k + 1)-transfor
, for appropriate k-arrows
I give answers to these questions in the cases where n-dimensional teisi and their tensor product have been defined, i.e., for n 3, and for n up to 5 in some cases that do not need all data and axioms of n-dimensional teisi.I apply the above to compositions in teisi, in particular to braidings and syllepses. One of the results is that a braiding on a monoidal 2-category induces a pseudo-natural transformation
, where
is the reverse of ? –, which is almost, but not quite, equal to – ?. However, in higher dimensions need not be reversible, so a braiding on a higher-dimensional tas can not be seen as a transfor A B B A. |
