In category theory, a weak n-category is a generalization of the notion of strict n-category where composition and identities are not strictly associative and unital, but only associative and unital up to . This generalisation only becomes noticeable at dimensions two and above where weak 2-, 3- and 4-categories are typically referred to as bicategories, tricategories, and tetracategories. The subject of weak n-categories is an area of ongoing research. (Wikipedia).

This is super basic. I ripped this off of ncatlab, one of the best websites on the planet.

Camell Kachour - Globular perspective for Grothendieck ∞-topos and Grothendieck (∞,n)-topos
In this short talk we first briefly recall [4] how to build, for each integers n0, monads Tn on the category Glob of globular sets which algebras are globular models of (1; n)-categories, which have the virtue to be weak 1-categories of Penon and thus also to be weak 1-categories of Batani

Pierre Py - Complex geometry and higher finiteness properties of groups
Following C.T.C. Wall, we say that a group G is of type if it has a classifying space (a K(G,1)) whose n-skeleton is finite. When n=1 (resp. n=2) one recovers the condition of finite generation (resp. finite presentation). The study of examples of groups which are of type Fn-1 but not of

Category Theory: The Beginner’s Introduction (Lesson 1 Video 4)
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. These videos will be discussed

We give a buttload of definitions for morphisms on various categories of complexes. The derived category of an abelian category is a category whose objects are cochain complexes and whose morphisms I describe in this video.

Lucile Vandembroucq (8/25/22): On the weak topological complexity and the TC-Ganea conjecture
By analogy with the classical Ganea conjecture, which has been disproved by N. Iwase, the TC-Ganea conjecture asks whether the equality TC(X x S^n)=TC(X)+TC(S^n) holds for all finite CW complexes X and all positive integers n. In a previous work in collaboration with J. González and M. Gra

Stable Homotopy Seminar, 7: Constructing Model Categories
A stroll through the recognition theorem for cofibrantly generated model categories, using it to construct (1) the Quillen/Serre model structure on topological spaces and (2) the levelwise model structure on spectra. The latter captures the idea that spectra are sequences of spaces, but no

Abstract: In the first part, we describe the canonical model structure on the category of strict ω-categories and how it transfers to related subcategories. We then characterize the cofibrant objects as ω-categories freely generated by polygraphs and introduce the key notion of polygraphic

Abstract Algebra: We use composition series as another technique for studying finite groups, which leads to the notion of solvable groups and puts the focus on simple groups. From there, we survey the classification of finite simple groups and the Monster group.
