We make strict $n$-categories even stricter by requiring they satisfy higher exchange laws governed by Hadzihasanovic's theory of regular directed complexes. We study the first properties of stricter $n$-categories, in particular, we define…

We show that there exists a canonical functor from the category of strict \infty-groupoids to the category of Grothendieck \infty-groupoids and that this functor is fully faithful. As a main ingredient, we prove that free strict…

We prove that the folk model category structure on the category of strict $\omega$-categories, introduced by Lafont, M\'etayer and Worytkiewicz, is monoidal, first, for the Gray tensor product and, second, for the join of…

The purpose of this text is the study of the class of homotopy types which are modelized by strict \infty-groupoids. We show that the homotopy category of simply connected \infty-groupoids is equivalent to the derived category in…

In this paper using split extensions of group-groupoids we obtain the notion of crossed modules over group-grouoids which are also called 2-groups and we prove a categorical equivalence of these types of crossed modules and double…

We establish a model structure on the category of strict omega-categories. The constructions leading to the model structure in question are expressed entirely within the scope of omega-categories, building on a set of generating…

We investigate the universal strictification adjunction from weak $\infty$-groupoids (modeled as simplicial sets) to strict $\infty$-groupoids (modeled as simplicial T-complexes). We prove that any simplicial set can be recovered up to weak…

We prove that the category of (strictly unital) A$_\infty$-categories, linear over a commutative ring $R$, with strict A$_\infty$-morphisms has a cofibrantly generated model structure. In this model structure every object is fibrant and the…

We define a new model structure on the category of small categories, which is intimately related to the notion of coverings and fundamental groups of small categories. Fibrant objects in the model structure coincide with groupoids, and the…

We consider the categorical equivalence between crossed modules over groupoids and double groupoids with thin structures; and by this equivalence, we prove how normality and quotient concepts are related in these two categories and give…

A crossed module is (A,H,d,\la) where d:A\to H is a homomorphism of groups and H acts on A, with conditions leading to a groupoid A\lcross H{\to\atop \to}H as an example of a strict 2-group. We give the corresponding notion of a quantum…

We construct a left semi-model category of "marked strict $\infty$-categories" for which the fibrant objects are those whose marked arrows satisfy natural closure properties and are weakly invertible. The canonical model structure on strict…

In this study, using the Brown-Spencer theorem and in the ligth of the works of Norrie, in the category of internal categories within groups, also called group-groupoids, we interpret the notion of actor of a crossed module over groups.…

We provide concrete models for generalized morphisms and Morita equivalences of topological 2-groupoids by introducing the notions of crossings and crossed extensions of groupoid crossed modules. A systematic study of these objects is…

We introduce the class of partially invertible modules and show that it is an inverse category which we call the Picard inverse category. We use this category to generalize the classical construction of crossed products to, what we call,…

We define the class of rigid Frobenius algebras in a (non-semisimple) modular category and prove that their categories of local modules are, again, modular. This generalizes previous work of A. Kirillov, Jr. and V. Ostrik [Adv. Math. 171…

The aim of this paper is to present a simplified version of the notion of $\infty$-groupoid developed by Grothendieck in "Pursuing Stacks" and to introduce a definition of $\infty$-categories inspired by Grothendieck's approach.

We show that C if is a proper model category, then the pro-category pro-C has a strict model structure in which the weak equivalences are the levelwise weak equivalences. The strict model structure is the starting point for many homotopy…

In this paper we first give a simplicial approach to the definition of a non strict $n$-category that we call an $n$-nerve following the idea that a category could be interpreted as a simplicial set, and we prove that our construction…

We show that if the canonical left semi-model structure on the category of Grothendieck $n$-groupoids exists, then it satisfies the homotopy hypothesis, i.e. the associated $(\infty,1)$-category is equivalent to that of homotopy $n$-types,…
