Abstract

The aim of this paper is to prove that the category of cubes with connections, introduced by R. Brown and Ph.J. Higgins, is a strict test category in Grothendieck’s sense. In particular this implies that cubical sets with connections are models for homotopy types in a very precise sense, in a way that is compatible with the cartesian product.
