Inner horns for 2-quasi-categories (Q2295476)

This paper is concerned with \(2\)-quasi-categories as a model for \((\infty,2)\)-categories. The main result is a new characterization of \(2\)-quasi-categories, based on the existence of liftings against the inner horn inclusions and equivalence extensions of Oury. This result is presented as Theorem 6.1, which more generally characterizes fibrations into 2-quasi-categories with respect to the model structure on \(\widehat{\Theta}_2\) introduced by \textit{D. Ara} [J. \(K\)-Theory 14, No. 3, 701--749 (2014; Zbl 1322.18002)]. Section 7 announces an upcoming application to the lax Gray tensor product of 2-quasi-categories.
