Simplicial Methods for Higher Categories: Segal-Type Models of Weak N-Categories

by Simona Paoli

This monograph presents a new model of mathematical structures called weak n-categories. These structures find their motivation in a wide range of fields, from algebraic topology to mathematical physics, algebraic geometry and mathematical logic.

While strict n-categories are easily defined in terms associative and unital composition operations they are of limited use in applications, which often call for weakened variants of...
