(∞, n)-category
Generalization of a category
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, especially category theory, an (â, n)-category is a generalization of an â-category, where each k-morphism is invertible for . Thus, an â-category is an (â, 1)-category, while an â-groupoid is an (â, 0)-category.
