Proof.By symmetry, it is enough to prove (1). Observe that the prism
is a left cone on the simplicial set obtained by removing the initial
vertex. Formally,
We can therefore interpret the rectangle as a diagram in
(and hence ignore ). Since the projection
preserves and reflects limits (dual of T.1.2.13.8), the square
is a pullback square in . The universal property
of the pullback implies that we have a homotopy Cartesian square
which in turn induces a homotopy equivalence of homotopy fibers of
the vertical maps. Considering the given map as a point
in and considering the
induced equivalence on the homotopy fibers of the vertical maps, we
obtain by T.5.5.5.12 an equivalence
where and are and
viewed as objects of and
and are and
viewed as objects of . By the definition of the
space of lifts, this is precisely the equivalence .
