The Brown-Golasinski model structure on strict $\infty$-groupoids revisited

Category Theory 2020-09-07 v2 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We prove that the folk model structure on strict \infty-categories transfers to the category of strict \infty-groupoids (and more generally to the category of strict (,n)(\infty, n)-categories), and that the resulting model structure on strict \infty-groupoids coincides with the one defined by Brown and Golasinski via crossed complexes.
