Abstract

We investigate the notion of involutive weak globular ω\omega-categories via T.Leinster's approach: as algebras for the initial contracted globular operad in the bicategory of globular collections induced by the Cartesian monad of the free involutive strict ω\omega-category functor on globular ω\omega-sets. An apparently more restrictive notion of involutive weak globular ω\omega-categories as algebras for the initial operadic-contraction in the bicategory of globular contracted-collections induced by the previous Cartesian monad (where here the operadic multiplications and units satisfy further compatibility axioms with the contractions) is also considered.
