Títol: Topological models of ∞-groupoids
Resum: In higher category theory, ∞-groupoids are ∞-categories whose morphisms are weakly invertible at all orders. Every topological space has an associated ∞-groupoid, named its fundamental ∞-groupoid, which encodes the information of higher paths over the space. The statement that every space can be recovered up to homotopy from its fundamental ∞-groupoid is known as Grothendieck’s homotopy hypothesis. In this presentation, we choose a model of ∞-categories based on topologically enriched categories, and discuss the homotopy hypothesis in this context.
