The 0-sphere is unusual among spheres in that it is disconnected. |

Of course, Lemma \ref{lem:spheres}, as stated, is satisfied by the trivial functor. |

What we really mean is that there exists a functor which interacts with the other data of $\cC$ as specified |

in the axioms below. |

For each $k$-ball $X$ and $m$-ball $D$, with $k+m \le n$, there is a map $\cC(X)\to \cC(X\times D)$, |
|
334 |
usually denoted $a\mapsto a\times D$ for $a\in \cC(X)$. |
|
335 |
These maps must satisfy the following conditions. |
|
336 |

\[ |

\tilde{f}(a\times D) = f(a)\times D' . |

Product morphisms are compatible with gluing (composition) in both factors: |

(a'\times D)\bullet(a''\times D) = (a'\bullet a'')\times D |
|

(a\times D')\bullet(a\times D'') = a\times (D'\bullet D'') . |

Product morphisms are associative: |

\[ |
|
359 |
(a\times D)\times D' = a\times (D\times D') . |
|

\] |
|

(Here we are implicitly using functoriality and the obvious homeomorphism |
|
362 |
$(X\times D)\times D' \to X\times(D\times D')$.) |
|

\item |
|
364 |
Product morphisms are compatible with restriction: |
|
365 |
\[ |
|
366 |
\res_{X\times E}(a\times D) = a\times E |
|

\] |
|

It is easy to see that a composition of pinched products is again a pinched product. |
424 |
A {\it sub pinched product} is a sub-$m$-ball $E'\sub E$ such that the restriction |
|
425 |
$\pi:E'\to \pi(E')$ is again a pinched product. |
|
426 |
A {union} of pinched products is a decomposition $E = \cup_i E_i$ |
|
427 |
such that each $E_i\sub E$ is a sub pinched product. |

The product axiom will give a map $\pi^*:\cC(X)\to \cC(E)$ for each pinched product |
|
502 |
$\pi:E\to X$. |
|
344 | 503 |
Morphisms in the image of $\pi^*$ will be called product morphisms. |
343 | 504 |
Before stating the axiom, we illustrate it in our two motivating examples of $n$-categories. |
505 |
In the case where $\cC(X) = \{f: X\to T\}$, we define $\pi^*(f) = f\circ\pi$. |
|
344 | 506 |
In the case where $\cC(X)$ is the set of all labeled embedded cell complexes $K$ in $X$, |
507 |
define $\pi^*(K) = \pi\inv(K)$, with each codimension $i$ cell $\pi\inv(c)$ labeled by the |
|
508 |
same (traditional) $i$-morphism as the corresponding codimension $i$ cell $c$. |

We should strengthen the above $A_\infty$ axiom to apply to families of collar maps. |
416 | 682 |
To do this we need to explain how collar maps form a topological space. |
683 |
Roughly, the set of collared $n{-}1$-balls in the boundary of an $n$-ball has a natural topology, |
|
97 | 684 |
and we can replace the class of all intervals $J$ with intervals contained in $\r$. |
416 | 685 |
Having chains on the space of collar maps act gives rise to coherence maps involving |
686 |
weak identities. |
|
420 | 687 |
We will not pursue this in detail here. |

A potential variant on the above axiom would be to drop the ``up to homotopy" and require a strictly associative action. (In fact, the alternative construction of the blob complex described in \S \ref{ss:alt-def} gives $n$-categories as in Example \ref{ex:blob-complexes-of-balls} which satisfy this stronger axiom; since that construction is only homotopy equivalent to the usual one, only the weaker axiom carries across.) |

In a different direction, if we enrich over topological spaces instead of chain complexes, |
97 | 694 |
we get a space version of an $A_\infty$ $n$-category, with $\Homeo_\bd(X)$ acting |
695 |
instead of $C_*(\Homeo_\bd(X))$. |

The alert reader will have already noticed that our definition of a (ordinary) $n$-category |

is extremely similar to our definition of a system of fields. |

There are two differences. |

|
806 |
Let $\cF$ be a TQFT in the sense of \S\ref{sec:fields}: an $n$-dimensional |
|
807 |
system of fields (also denoted $\cF$) and local relations. |
|
808 |
Let $W$ be an $n{-}j$-manifold. |
|
809 |
Define the $j$-category $\cF(W)$ as follows. |
|
810 |
If $X$ is a $k$-ball with $k<j$, let $\cF(W)(X) \deq \cF(W\times X)$. |
|
811 |
If $X$ is a $j$-ball and $c\in \cl{\cF(W)}(\bd X)$, |
|
812 |
let $\cF(W)(X; c) \deq A_\cF(W\times X; c)$. |

The next example is only intended to be illustrative, as we don't specify |
|
816 |
which definition of a ``traditional $n$-category" we intend. |
|
817 |
Further, most of these definitions don't even have an agreed-upon notion of |
|
818 |
``strong duality", which we assume here. |

1513 |
\begin{enumerate} |
|
1514 |
\item |
|
1515 |
If $\pi:E\to M$ and $\pi':E'\to M'$ are marked pinched products, and |
|
1516 |
if $f:M\to M'$ and $\tilde{f}:E \to E'$ are maps such that the diagram |
|
103 | 1517 |
\[ \xymatrix{ |
423 | 1518 |
E \ar[r]^{\tilde{f}} \ar[d]_{\pi} & E' \ar[d]^{\pi'} \\ |
103 | 1519 |
M \ar[r]^{f} & M' |
1520 |
} \] |
|
423 | 1521 |
commutes, then we have |
1522 |
\[ |
|
1523 |
\pi'^*\circ f = \tilde{f}\circ \pi^*. |
|
1524 |
\] |
|
1525 |
\item |
|
1526 |
Product morphisms are compatible with module composition and module action. |
|
1527 |
Let $\pi:E\to M$, $\pi_1:E_1\to M_1$, and $\pi_2:E_2\to M_2$ |
|
1528 |
be pinched products with $E = E_1\cup E_2$. |
|
1529 |
Let $a\in \cM(M)$, and let $a_i$ denote the restriction of $a$ to $M_i\sub M$. |
|
1530 |
Then |
|
1531 |
\[ |
|
1532 |
\pi^*(a) = \pi_1^*(a_1)\bullet \pi_2^*(a_2) . |
|
1533 |
\] |
|
1534 |
Similarly, if $\rho:D\to X$ is a pinched product of plain balls and |
|
1535 |
$E = D\cup E_1$, then |
|
1536 |
\[ |
|
1537 |
\pi^*(a) = \rho^*(a')\bullet \pi_1^*(a_1), |
|
1538 |
\] |
|
1539 |
where $a'$ is the restriction of $a$ to $D$. |
|
1540 |
\item |
|
1541 |
Product morphisms are associative. |
|
1542 |
If $\pi:E\to M$ and $\rho:D\to E$ are marked pinched products then |
|
1543 |
\[ |
|
1544 |
\rho^*\circ\pi^* = (\pi\circ\rho)^* . |
|
1545 |
\] |
|
1546 |
\item |
|
1547 |
Product morphisms are compatible with restriction. |
|
1548 |
If we have a commutative diagram |
|
1549 |
\[ \xymatrix{ |
|
1550 |
D \ar@{^(->}[r] \ar[d]_{\rho} & E \ar[d]^{\pi} \\ |
|
1551 |
Y \ar@{^(->}[r] & M |
|
1552 |
} \] |
|
1553 |
such that $\rho$ and $\pi$ are pinched products, then |
|
1554 |
\[ |
|
1555 |
\res_D\circ\pi^* = \rho^*\circ\res_Y . |
|
1556 |
\] |
|
1557 |
($Y$ could be either a marked or plain ball.) |

Our first task is to define an $n$-category $m$-sphere modules, for $0\le m \le n-1$. |
205 | 1860 |
These will be defined in terms of certain classes of marked balls, very similarly |
1861 |
to the definition of $n$-category modules above. |
|
1862 |
(This, in turn, is very similar to our definition of $n$-category.) |

Because of this similarity, we only sketch the definitions below. |

We start with $0$-sphere modules, which also could reasonably be called (categorified) bimodules. |

Part of the structure of an $n$-category 0-sphere module $\cM$ is captured by saying it is |
206 | 1905 |
a collection $\cD^{ab}$ of $n{-}1$-categories, indexed by pairs $(a, b)$ of objects (0-morphisms) |

Let $J$ be some standard 0-marked 1-ball (i.e.\ an interval with a marked point in its interior). |

Given a $j$-ball $X$, $0\le j\le n-1$, we define |

\[ |

\cD(X) \deq \cM(X\times J) . |

\] |
|
1912 |
The product is pinched over the boundary of $J$. |
|
327 | 1913 |
The set $\cD$ breaks into ``blocks" according to the restrictions to the pinched points of $X\times J$ |
209 | 1914 |
(see Figure \ref{feb21b}). |

These restrictions are 0-morphisms $(a, b)$ of $\cA$ and $\cB$. |

We could also similarly mark and label a circle, obtaining an $n{-}1$-category |

associated to the marked and labeled circle. |

Next we define $n$-category 1-sphere modules. |
|
1979 |
These are just representations of (modules for) $n{-}1$-categories associated to marked and labeled |
|
1980 |
circles (1-spheres) which we just introduced. |

1982 |
Equivalently, we can define 1-sphere modules in terms of 1-marked $k$-balls, $2\le k\le n$. |
|
1983 |
Fix a marked (and labeled) circle $S$. |
|
209 | 1984 |
Let $C(S)$ denote the cone of $S$, a marked 2-ball (Figure \ref{feb21d}). |

A 1-marked $k$-ball is anything homeomorphic to $B^j \times C(S)$, $0\le j\le n-2$, |
1988 |
where $B^j$ is the standard $j$-ball. |
|
399 | 1989 |
A 1-marked $k$-ball can be decomposed in various ways into smaller balls, which are either |
1990 |
(a) smaller 1-marked $k$-balls, (b) 0-marked $k$-balls, or (c) plain $k$-balls. |

A $n$-category 1-sphere module is, among other things, an $n{-}2$-category $\cD$ with |
2045 |
\[ |
|
2046 |
\cD(X) \deq \cM(X\times C(S)) . |
|
2047 |
\] |
|
2048 |
The product is pinched over the boundary of $C(S)$. |
|
2049 |
$\cD$ breaks into ``blocks" according to the restriction to the |
|
2050 |
image of $\bd C(S) = S$ in $X\times C(S)$. |

More generally, consider a 2-manifold $Y$ |
|
2053 |
(e.g.\ 2-ball or 2-sphere) marked by an embedded 1-complex $K$. |
|
2054 |
The components of $Y\setminus K$ are labeled by $n$-categories, |
|
2055 |
the edges of $K$ are labeled by 0-sphere modules, |
|
2056 |
and the 0-cells of $K$ are labeled by 1-sphere modules. |
|
2057 |
We can now apply the coend construction and obtain an $n{-}2$-category. |

If $Y$ has boundary then this $n{-}2$-category is a module for the $n{-}1$-category |

For example, there is an $n{-}2$-category associated to a marked, labeled 2-sphere, |

and a 2-sphere module is a representation of such an $n{-}2$-category. |

We now define $\cS(X)$, for $X$ a ball of dimension at most $n$, to be the set of all |

cell-complexes $K$ embedded in $X$, with the codimension-$j$ parts of $(X, K)$ labeled |

As described above, we can think of each decorated $k$-ball as defining a $k{-}1$-sphere module |
|

for the $n{-}k{+}1$-category associated to its decorated boundary. |

of as $n$-category $k{-}1$-sphere modules |

We define product $n{+}1$-morphisms to be identity maps of modules. |
101 | 2431 |
|
506 | 2432 |
To define (binary) composition of $n{+}1$-morphisms, choose the obvious common equator |
2433 |
then compose the module maps. |
|
559 | 2434 |
The proof that this composition rule is associative is similar to the proof of Lemma \ref{equator-lemma}. |
