Quasicategories

In this file we define quasicategories, a common model of infinity categories. We show that every Kan complex is a quasicategory.

In Mathlib/AlgebraicTopology/Quasicategory/Nerve.lean, we show that the nerve of a category is a quasicategory.

TODO

• Generalize the definition to higher universes. See the corresponding TODO in Mathlib/AlgebraicTopology/SimplicialSet/KanComplex.lean.

class SSet.Quasicategory (S : SSet) : Prop

A simplicial set S is a quasicategory if it satisfies the following horn-filling condition: for every n : ℕ and 0 < i < n, every map of simplicial sets σ₀ : Λ[n, i] → S can be extended to a map σ : Δ[n] → S.
