Stabilization hypothesis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, specifically in category theory and algebraic topology, the Baez–Dolan stabilization hypothesis, proposed in (Baez & Dolan 1995), states that suspension of a weak n-category has no more essential effect after n + 2 times.[1] Precisely, it states that the suspension functor is an equivalence for .[2]
