Hi all, I am looking for a proof of the fact that a doubly degenerate tricategory (so, a tricategory with only one 0-cell and only one 1-cell) is the same thing as a braided monoidal category. I have seen it claimed in various places but cannot figure out what is the right reference for this. It is fairly intuitive visually but I am wondering if there is a careful algebraic proof somewhere… I posted the question on MathOverflow too: https://mathoverflow.net/questions/391382/braided-monoidal-categories-as-doubly-degenerate-tricategories
I guess in work on Cheng and Gurski? Is http://www.numdam.org/article/CTGDC_2011__52_2_82_0.pdf what you wanted?
It looks perfect indeed, thanks! I can't believe I hadn't come across this one before :)
