| Jun 19, 2011 at 23:32 | comment | added | David Roberts♦ | Th introductions of any of the papers titled "Higher Dimensional Algebra N: Blah" by John Baez and coauthors should give you a sense of the field. But note that JB is by no means the instigator of such study. Ronnie Brown is a strong proponent of the idea, especially in the area of algebraic homotopy. One could argue that some of the basic notions (well, 2-groups) were known to Grothendieck, Verdier and Sinh (and others) in the 60s and 70s. | |
