$n$-Categories and Eilenberg-MacLane spaces L. Breen
Abstract: I will first review some basic facts regarding the definition and properties of the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces $K(A,n)$ and their homology. I will then explain how this leads one to explicit definitions of group laws on higher categories, and to some associated invariants. Language: English
