Homotopy theory, and change of base for groupoids and multiple groupoids
نویسنده
چکیده
This survey article shows how the notion of “change of base”, used in some applications to homotopy theory of the fundamental groupoid, has surprising higher dimensional analogues, through the use of certain higher homotopy groupoids with values in forms of multiple groupoids.

A History of Selected Topics in Categorical Algebra I: From Galois Theory to Abstract Commutators and Internal Groupoids
This paper is a chronological survey, with no proofs, of a direction in categorical algebra, which is based on categorical Galois theory and involves generalized central extensions, commutators, and internal groupoids in Barr exact Mal’tsev and more general categories. Galois theory proposes a notion of central extension, and motivates the study of internal groupoids, which is then used as an a...
متن کاملSets in homotopy type theory
Homotopy Type Theory may be seen as an internal language for the ∞category of weak ∞-groupoids which in particular models the univalence axiom. Voevodsky proposes this language for weak ∞-groupoids as a new foundation for mathematics called the Univalent Foundations of Mathematics. It includes the sets as weak ∞-groupoids with contractible connected components, and thereby it includes (much of)...
متن کاملON THE HOMOTOPY THEORY OF n-TYPES
We achieve a classification of n-types of simplicial presheaves in terms of (n− 1)-types of presheaves of simplicial groupoids. This can be viewed as a description of the homotopy theory of higher stacks. As a special case we obtain a good homotopy theory of (weak) higher groupoids.
متن کاملClosed model categories for presheaves of simplicial groupoids and presheaves of 2-groupoids
We prove that the category of presheaves of simplicial groupoids and the category of presheaves of 2-groupoids have Quillen closed model structures. We also show that the homotopy categories associated to the two categories are equivalent to the homotopy categories of simplicial presheaves and homotopy 2-types, respectively.
متن کاملCrossed complexes and higher homotopy groupoids as non commutative tools for higher dimensional local-to-global problems
We outline the main features of the definitions and applications of crossed complexes and cubical ω-groupoids with connections. These give forms of higher homotopy groupoids, and new views of basic algebraic topology and the cohomology of groups, with the ability to obtain some non commutative results and compute some homotopy types in non simply connected situations.
