Rigidification of cubical quasi-categories

Abstract: We construct a cubical analogue of the rigidification functor from quasi-categories to simplicial categories present in the work of Joyal and Lurie. We define a functor from the category of cubical sets of Doherty-Kapulkin-Lindsey-Sattler to the category of (small) simplicial categories. We show that this rigidification functor establishes a Quillen equivalence between the Joyal model structure on cubical sets (as it is called by the four authors) and Bergner's model structure on simplicial categories. We follow the approach to rigidification of Dugger and Spivak, adapting their framework of necklaces to the cubical setting.
