Title: Thomason Model Structures in Every Strict Higher Dimension.

Abstract: We prove the higher-dimensional Thomason model-structure conjecture of Ara and Maltsiniotis. For every $1{}le n{}le{}infty$, the category of small strict globular n-categories admits a proper combinatorial model structure that is Quillen equivalent to simplicial sets. Its weak equivalences and fibrations are detected by the twice-extended Street nerve ${}mathrm{Ex}{}2N_n$, and the Quillen equivalence is given by $c_n{}mathrm{Sd}{}2{}dashv{}mathrm{Ex}{}2N_n$. Thus strict higher categories model the homotopy theory of spaces in every positive finite dimension and in dimension ω.
