Abstract

In this work, we analyze the combinatorial properties of the category of augmented semi-simplicial sets. We consider various monoidal structures induced by the co-product, the product, and the join operator in this category. In addition, we also consider monoidal structures on augmented sequences of integers induced by the sum and product of integers and by the join of augmented sequences. The cardinal functor that associates to each finite set X its cardinal | X | induces the sequential cardinal that associates to each augmented semi-simplicial finite set X an augmented sequence | X | n of non-negative integers. We prove that the sequential cardinal functor is monoidal for the corresponding monoidal structures. This allows us to easily calculate the number of simplices of cones and suspensions of an augmented semi-simplicial set as well as other augmented semi-simplicial sets which are built by joins. In this way, the monoidal structures of the augmented sequences of numbers may be thought of as an algebraization of the augmented semi-simplicial sets that allows us to do a simpler study of the combinatorics of the augmented semi-simplicial finite sets.
