Properties of the truncated simplex category #

We prove that for n > 0, the inclusion functor from the n-truncated simplex category to the untruncated simplex category, and the inclusion functor from the n-truncated to the m-truncated simplex category, for n ≤ m are initial.

For 0 < n, the inclusion functor from the n-truncated simplex category to the untruncated simplex category is initial.

For 0 < n ≤ m, the inclusion functor from the n-truncated simplex category to the m-truncated simplex category is initial.
