| Jan 29, 2013 at 8:46 | comment | added | Tim Porter | Adding to Ronnie's comment on crossed n-cubes of groups. These are very very easy to define and give models for homotopy n+1-types. The corresponding n+1-groupoid will have a lot of seemingly extra structure whose details are not that clear once you get to n= 4. The reason, intuitively, is that the crossed n-cube lays things out for you, but at the cost of a lot of repetition of the information, while the n-category folds it all into a small space, so naturally things interact in an apparently more complex way. | |
