categories: preprint: survey of definitions of n-category




The following paper is now available:


"A Survey of Definitions of n-Category"

Abstract:  Many people have proposed definitions of `weak n-category'.  
Ten of them are presented here.  Each definition is given in two pages, 
with a further two pages on what happens when n = 0, 1, or 2.  The 
definitions can be read independently.  Chatty bibliography follows.


It's on the archive as math.CT/0107188, i.e. is at

http://arXiv.org/abs/math.CT/0107188 .


(Also of interest might be some notes from informal talks,

"Topology and higher-dimensional category theory: the rough idea",

http://arXiv.org/abs/math.CT/0106240 .)


Thanks,

Tom
