Abstract: In this short note we prove that two definitions of (co)ends in infty-categories, via twisted arrow infty-categories and via infty-categories of simplices, are equivalent. We also show that weighted (co)limits, which can be defined as certain (co)ends, can alternatively be described as (co)limits over left and right fibrations, respectively.


The principal objective in this paper is to lift the familiar equivalence of the definitions of (co)ends via twisted arrow categories \[ \mathrm{Tw}^{l}(\mathcal{C})\rightarrow\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}}\times\mathcal{C} \] and via categories of simplices \[ \Delta_{/\mathcal{C}}\rightarrow\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}}\times\mathcal{C} \] to \(\infty\)-caterories. It is also shown that weighted (co)limits, which can be defined as certain (co)ends, can altertively be described as (co)limits over left and right fibrations, respectively.
