N-group (category theory)

In mathematics, an n-group, or n-dimensional higher group, is a special kind of n-category that generalises the concept of group to higher-dimensional algebra. Here, may be any natural number or infinity. The thesis of Alexander Grothendieck's student Hoàng Xuân Sính was an in-depth study of 2-groups under the moniker 'gr-category'. The general definition of -group is a matter of ongoing research. However, it is expected that every topological space will have a homotopy -group at every point, which will encapsulate the Postnikov tower of the space up to the homotopy group , or the entire Postnikov tower for .

What is a Group? | Abstract Algebra

Welcome to group theory! In today's lesson we'll be going over the definition of a group. We'll see the four group axioms in action with some examples, and some non-examples as well which violate the axioms and are thus not groups. In a fundamental way, groups are structures built from s

Category Theory: The Beginner’s Introduction (Lesson 1 Video 2)

Lesson 1 is concerned with defining the category of Abstract Sets and Arbitrary Mappings. We also define our first Limit and Co-Limit: The Terminal Object, and the Initial Object. Other topics discussed include Duality and the Opposite (or Mirror) Category. Follow me on Twitter: @mjmcodr

GT2. Definition of Subgroup

Abstract Algebra: We define the notion of a subgroup and provide various examples. We also consider cyclic subgroups and subgroups generated by subsets in a given group G. Example include A4 and D8. U.Reddit course materials available at http://ureddit.com/class/23794/intro-to-group-

Warning: around 32:30 in the video, in the slide entitled "Karoubi's conjecture", a small mistake was made - in the third bulleted item the genuine quadratic structure appearing should be the genuine symmetric one (so both the green and red instances of the superscript gq should be gs), an

Tudor Dimofte - 3d SUSY Gauge Theory and Quantum Groups at Roots of Unity

Topological twists of 3d N=4 gauge theories naturally give rise to non-semisimple 3d TQFT's. In mathematics, prototypical examples of the latter were constructed in the 90's (by Lyubashenko and others) from representation categories of small quantum groups at roots of unity; they were rece

Stable Homotopy Seminar, 1: Introduction and Motivation

We describe some features that the category of spectra is expected to have, and some ideas from topology it's expected to generalize. Along the way, we review the Freudenthal suspension theorem, and the definition of a generalized cohomology theory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~======================
