An -groupoid – equivalently an (∞,0)-category – is an ∞-category in which, for all natural numbers , all k-morphisms are equivalences. The collection of all -groupoids forms the (∞,1)-category ∞Grpd. Special cases of -groupoids include groupoids, 2-groupoids, 3-groupoids, n-groupoids, deloopings of groups, 2-groups, and ∞-groups. There are many ways to model the (∞,1)-category ∞Grpd of all -groupoids, or at least obtain its homotopy category. A simple and very useful incarnation of -groupoids is available using a geometric definition of higher categories in the form of simplicial sets that are Kan complexes. The -cells of the underlying simplicial set are the k-morphisms of the -groupoid, and the Kan horn-filler conditions encode the fact that adjacent -morphisms have a (non-unique) composite -morphism and that every -morphism is invertible with respect to this composition. See Kan complex for a detailed discussion of how these incarnate -groupoids. The (∞,1)-category of all -groupoids is modelled along these lines by the Quillen model structure on simplicial sets, whose fibrant-cofibrant...
