homotopy double groupoid of a Hausdorff space
Homotopy double groupoid of a Hausdorff space
Let X be a Hausdorff space. Also consider the HDA concept of a
double groupoid (http://planetmath.org/HigherDimensionalAlgebraHDA),
and how it can be completely specified for a Hausdorff space, X. Thus, in
ref. [BHKP] Brown et al. associated to X a double groupoid, 𝝆□2(X)
, called the homotopy double groupoid of X which is completely defined by the data specified in Definitions 0.1 to 0.3 in this entry and related objects.
Generally, the geometry of squares and their compositions leads to a common representation of a double groupoid in the following form:
𝖣= | (0.1) |
