Smash powers of pointed simplicial sets and the sphere sequence #
The smash power X^∧ι of a pointed simplicial set X, indexed by a type ι, is the degreewise
smash power of pointed types: its n-simplices are the basepoint and the families of
n-simplices of X avoiding the basepoint in every coordinate. Bijections of the index type act
by reindexing coordinates, concatenation of families identifies X^∧ι ∧ X^∧κ with
X^∧(ι ⊕ κ), and the smash power indexed by an empty type is the unit S⁰. A based map
X ⟶ Y acts on smash powers coordinatewise, compatibly with these operations, and the smash power
indexed by a type with a unique element is X itself.
Indexing by the finite-bijection groupoid gives the symmetric sequence
PointedSSet.smashPowFunctor X : FiniteBijection ⥤ PointedSSet, n ↦ X^∧n, on which
Equiv.Perm (Fin n) acts by permuting the smash factors. Block concatenation
X^∧p ∧ X^∧q ≅ X^∧(p + q) and the identification S⁰ ≅ X^∧0 make it a braided strong monoidal
functor from the block-sum symmetric monoidal structure on FiniteBijection to the smash product
of pointed simplicial sets: the block swap of FiniteBijection corresponds to swapping the two
smash factors.
For X the simplicial circle S¹ = Δ[1]/∂Δ[1] this is the sphere sequence
PointedSSet.smashPowFunctor PointedSSet.circle, n ↦ S^n = (S¹)^∧n, with its
coordinate-permutation actions and block-concatenation multiplication S^p ∧ S^q → S^(p+q).
Under Day convolution along the block sum, lax braided monoidal functors out of
FiniteBijection are the commutative monoids of symmetric sequences, and symmetric spectra are
the modules over the sphere sequence.

The smash power #
The smash power X^∧ι of a pointed simplicial set, formed degreewise: its n-simplices are
the basepoint and the families ι → X_n avoiding the basepoint in every coordinate.
Instances For
The class in the smash power X^∧ι of a family of n-simplices of X. It is the basepoint
exactly when some coordinate is the basepoint.
Instances For
A family represents the basepoint exactly when some coordinate is the basepoint.
Two families have the same class exactly when they are equal or both have a coordinate at the basepoint.
Induction on the simplices of a smash power: it suffices to treat the basepoint and the classes of families.
Based maps out of a smash power are determined by their values on classes of families.
Based maps out of a smash product of two smash powers are determined by their values on pairs of classes of families.
The based map out of the smash power X^∧ι induced by degreewise functions of families that
send the families with a coordinate at the basepoint to the basepoint and commute with the
simplicial operators.
Instances For
Reindexing #
The action of a bijection e : ι ≃ κ on smash powers, sending the class of a family f to
the class of f ∘ e.symm.
Instances For

Instances For
Concatenation #
Concatenation of families, the based map X^∧ι ⊗ X^∧κ ⟶ X^∧(ι ⊕ κ).
Instances For
Splitting a family into its two blocks, the based map X^∧(ι ⊕ κ) ⟶ X^∧ι ⊗ X^∧κ inverse
to concatenation.
Instances For
Concatenation of families identifies X^∧ι ⊗ X^∧κ with X^∧(ι ⊕ κ).
Instances For

The based map X^∧ι ⟶ S⁰ for empty ι, sending the class of the empty family to the
non-basepoint simplex.

A single smash factor #
The smash power indexed by a type with a unique element is the pointed simplicial set itself: the class of a family corresponds to its only coordinate.

The symmetric sequence of smash powers #
The symmetric sequence n ↦ X^∧n of smash powers of a pointed simplicial set, on which a
bijection Fin n ≃ Fin m acts by permuting the smash factors.

Block concatenation and S⁰ ≅ X^∧0 make the symmetric sequence of smash powers a (strong)
monoidal functor.

The comultiplication of the symmetric sequence of smash powers splits a family into its two blocks.
The block swap of FiniteBijection acts on X^∧(k + l) as the swap of the two smash factors
X^∧k ∧ X^∧l, so the symmetric sequence of smash powers is a braided monoidal functor.
A based map f : X ⟶ Y induces the morphism X^∧n ⟶ Y^∧n of symmetric sequences of smash
powers applying f in every coordinate. It is a monoidal natural transformation.
Instances For
