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
