Lemma 14.18.4. Let U be a simplicial set. Let n \geq 0 be an integer. The rule
defines a sub simplicial set U' \subset U with U'_ i = U_ i for i \leq n. Moreover, all m-simplices of U' are degenerate for all m > n.
Lemma 14.18.4. Let U be a simplicial set. Let n \geq 0 be an integer. The rule
defines a sub simplicial set U' \subset U with U'_ i = U_ i for i \leq n. Moreover, all m-simplices of U' are degenerate for all m > n.
Proof. If x \in U_ m and x = U(\varphi )(y) for some y \in U_ i, i \leq n and some \varphi : [m] \to [i] then any image U(\psi )(x) for any \psi : [m'] \to [m] is equal to U(\varphi \circ \psi )(y) and \varphi \circ \psi : [m'] \to [i]. Hence U' is a simplicial set. By construction all simplices in dimension n + 1 and higher are degenerate. \square
