Proof.We start with the equivalence . The
first part follows from the fact that is a monomorphism and
the second part follows from the fact that is a homotopy equivalence of Kan complexes.
In the equivalence ,
the first part follows from the fact that
is an epimorphism and the second part can be seen as follows: the
maps are
homotopic rel if and only if they are equivalent
as elements of the -category that is the fiber over
(which is also a homotopy fiber) of the categorical fibration .
Since we have functorial categorical equivalences
and , this is the same
as showing that the corresponding maps
are equivalent in the fiber of
(which is also the homotopy fiber). This in turn is the same as having
homotopic rel. . It is left
to show the equivalence . The
first part is clear. The second part amounts to showing the equivalence of two extension problems.
If , we get a map from
to
and and are homotopic rel. if and only if
extends to the relative cylinder . In terms
of maps to , this is equivalent to the extension problem
On the other hand, from
we get a map from
to and and are homotopic
rel. if and only if it extends to the relative cylinder
. By 2.16
for , the two extension problems
are isomorphic.
