Before proceeding, we need more appropriate definitions of $n$-categories, |
13 |
$A_\infty$ $n$-categories, modules for these, and tensor products of these modules. |

The definitions presented below tie the categories more closely to the topology |
18 |
and avoid combinatorial questions about, for example, the minimal sufficient |
|
19 |
collections of generalized associativity axioms; we prefer maximal sets of axioms to minimal sets. |

In any such definition, there are sets of $k$-morphisms for each $0 \leq k \leq n$. |

Some $n$-category definitions model $k$-morphisms on the standard bihedron (interval, bigon, and so on). |
94 | 33 |
Other definitions have a separate set of 1-morphisms for each interval $[0,l] \sub \r$, |
34 |
a separate set of 2-morphisms for each rectangle $[0,l_1]\times [0,l_2] \sub \r^2$, |
|
35 |
and so on. |

36 |
(This allows for strict associativity.) |

Given a homeomorphism $f:X\to Y$ between $k$-balls (not necessarily fixed on |

the boundary), we want a corresponding |

We are being deliberately vague about what flavor of $k$-balls |
195 | 64 |
we are considering. |
94 | 65 |
They could be unoriented or oriented or Spin or $\mbox{Pin}_\pm$. |
66 |
They could be topological or PL or smooth. |

%\nn{need to check whether this makes much difference} |

(If smooth, ``homeomorphism" should be read ``diffeomorphism", and we would need |

Next we consider domains and ranges of morphisms (or, as we prefer to say, boundaries |

of morphisms). |
|
84 |
The 0-sphere is unusual among spheres in that it is disconnected. |

85 |
Correspondingly, for 1-morphisms it makes sense to distinguish between domain and range. |

%In fact, the functors for spheres are entirely determined by the functors for balls and the subsequent axioms. (In particular, $\cC(S^k)$ is the colimit of $\cC$ applied to decompositions of $S^k$ into balls.) However, it is easiest to think of it as additional data at this point. |

\begin{axiom}[Boundaries]\label{nca-boundary} |
333 | 117 |
For each $k$-ball $X$, we have a map of sets $\bd: \cC_k(X)\to \cl{\cC}_{k-1}(\bd X)$. |
187 | 118 |
These maps, for various $X$, comprise a natural transformation of functors. |

(Note that the first ``$\bd$" above is part of the data for the category, |

while the second is the ordinary boundary of manifolds.) |

333 | 124 |
Given $c\in\cl{\cC}(\bd(X))$, we will write $\cC(X; c)$ for $\bd^{-1}(c)$, those morphisms with specified boundary $c$. |

|
126 |
Most of the examples of $n$-categories we are interested in are enriched in the following sense. |
|
103 | 127 |
The various sets of $n$-morphisms $\cC(X; c)$, for all $n$-balls $X$ and |
333 | 128 |
all $c\in \cl{\cC}(\bd X)$, have the structure of an object in some auxiliary symmetric monoidal category |

The lemma follows from Definition \ref{def:colim-fields} and Lemma \ref{lem:colim-injective}. |
109 | 192 |
|
333 | 193 |
Let $\cl{\cC}(S)_E$ denote the image of $\gl_E$. |
402 | 194 |
We will refer to elements of $\cl{\cC}(S)_E$ as ``splittable along $E$" or ``transverse to $E$". |
109 | 195 |
|
195 | 196 |
If $X$ is a $k$-ball and $E \sub \bd X$ splits $\bd X$ into two $k{-}1$-balls $B_1$ and $B_2$ |
333 | 197 |
as above, then we define $\cC(X)_E = \bd^{-1}(\cl{\cC}(\bd X)_E)$. |
195 | 198 |
|
333 | 199 |
We will call the projection $\cl{\cC}(S)_E \to \cC(B_i)$ |
110 | 200 |
a {\it restriction} map and write $\res_{B_i}(a)$ |
333 | 201 |
(or simply $\res(a)$ when there is no ambiguity), for $a\in \cl{\cC}(S)_E$. |
195 | 202 |
More generally, we also include under the rubric ``restriction map" the |
203 |
the boundary maps of Axiom \ref{nca-boundary} above, |

of restriction maps. |
195 | 206 |
In particular, we have restriction maps $\cC(X)_E \to \cC(B_i)$ |
207 |
($i = 1, 2$, notation from previous paragraph). |
|
208 |
These restriction maps can be thought of as |
|
209 |
domain and range maps, relative to the choice of splitting $\bd X = B_1 \cup_E B_2$. |
|
94 | 210 |
|
211 |
||
212 |
Next we consider composition of morphisms. |
|
213 |
For $n$-categories which lack strong duality, one usually considers |
|
214 |
$k$ different types of composition of $k$-morphisms, each associated to a different direction. |
|
215 |
(For example, vertical and horizontal composition of 2-morphisms.) |
|
216 |
In the presence of strong duality, these $k$ distinct compositions are subsumed into |
|
217 |
one general type of composition which can be in any ``direction". |
|
218 |
||
187 | 219 |
\begin{axiom}[Composition] |
220 |
Let $B = B_1 \cup_Y B_2$, where $B$, $B_1$ and $B_2$ are $k$-balls ($0\le k\le n$) |
|
179 | 221 |
and $Y = B_1\cap B_2$ is a $k{-}1$-ball (Figure \ref{blah5}). |
103 | 222 |
Let $E = \bd Y$, which is a $k{-}2$-sphere. |
94 | 223 |
Note that each of $B$, $B_1$ and $B_2$ has its boundary split into two $k{-}1$-balls by $E$. |
224 |
We have restriction (domain or range) maps $\cC(B_i)_E \to \cC(Y)$. |
|
225 |
Let $\cC(B_1)_E \times_{\cC(Y)} \cC(B_2)_E$ denote the fibered product of these two maps. |
|

We have a map |

\[ |

\gl_Y : \cC(B_1)_E \times_{\cC(Y)} \cC(B_2)_E \to \cC(B)_E |

\] |
|
230 |
which is natural with respect to the actions of homeomorphisms, and also compatible with restrictions |
|
231 |
to the intersection of the boundaries of $B$ and $B_i$. |
|
232 |
If $k < n$ we require that $\gl_Y$ is injective. |

(The need for a strengthened version will become apparent in Appendix \ref{sec:comparing-defs} |
344 | 374 |
where we construct a traditional category from a topological category.) |

Define a {\it pinched product} to be a map |
376 |
\[ |
|
377 |
\pi: E\to X |
|
378 |
\] |
|
344 | 379 |
such that $E$ is a $k{+}m$-ball, $X$ is a $k$-ball ($m\ge 1$), and $\pi$ is locally modeled |
343 | 380 |
on a standard iterated degeneracy map |
381 |
\[ |
|
344 | 382 |
d: \Delta^{k+m}\to\Delta^k . |

\] |

(We thank Kevin Costello for suggesting this approach.) |

Note that for each interior point $x\in X$, $\pi\inv(x)$ is an $m$-ball, |
343 | 387 |
and for for each boundary point $x\in\bd X$, $\pi\inv(x)$ is a ball of dimension |
344 | 388 |
$l \le m$, with $l$ depending on $x$. |

It is easy to see that a composition of pinched products is again a pinched product. |

392 |
A {\it sub pinched product} is a sub-$m$-ball $E'\sub E$ such that the restriction |
|
393 |
$\pi:E'\to \pi(E')$ is again a pinched product. |
|
394 |
A {union} of pinched products is a decomposition $E = \cup_i E_i$ |
|
395 |
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 |
|
459 |
$\pi:E\to X$. |
|
344 | 460 |
Morphisms in the image of $\pi^*$ will be called product morphisms. |
343 | 461 |
Before stating the axiom, we illustrate it in our two motivating examples of $n$-categories. |
462 |
In the case where $\cC(X) = \{f: X\to T\}$, we define $\pi^*(f) = f\circ\pi$. |
|
344 | 463 |
In the case where $\cC(X)$ is the set of all labeled embedded cell complexes $K$ in $X$, |
464 |
define $\pi^*(K) = \pi\inv(K)$, with each codimension $i$ cell $\pi\inv(c)$ labeled by the |
|
465 |
same (traditional) $i$-morphism as the corresponding codimension $i$ cell $c$. |

All of the axioms listed above hold for both ordinary $n$-categories and $A_\infty$ $n$-categories. |
518 |
The last axiom (below), concerning actions of |
|
519 |
homeomorphisms in the top dimension $n$, distinguishes the two cases. |
|
520 |
||
521 |
We start with the plain $n$-category case. |
|
522 |
||
420 | 523 |
\begin{axiom}[\textup{\textbf{[preliminary]}} Isotopy invariance in dimension $n$] |
187 | 524 |
Let $X$ be an $n$-ball and $f: X\to X$ be a homeomorphism which restricts |
95 | 525 |
to the identity on $\bd X$ and is isotopic (rel boundary) to the identity. |
187 | 526 |
Then $f$ acts trivially on $\cC(X)$; $f(a) = a$ for all $a\in \cC(X)$. |
267 | 527 |
\end{axiom} |
96 | 528 |
|
174 | 529 |
This axiom needs to be strengthened to force product morphisms to act as the identity. |
103 | 530 |
Let $X$ be an $n$-ball and $Y\sub\bd X$ be an $n{-}1$-ball. |
96 | 531 |
Let $J$ be a 1-ball (interval). |
532 |
We have a collaring homeomorphism $s_{Y,J}: X\cup_Y (Y\times J) \to X$. |
|
122 | 533 |
(Here we use the ``pinched" version of $Y\times J$. |

We should strengthen the above axiom to apply to families of collar maps. |
628 |
To do this we need to explain how collar maps form a topological space. |
|
629 |
Roughly, the set of collared $n{-}1$-balls in the boundary of an $n$-ball has a natural topology, |
|
97 | 630 |
and we can replace the class of all intervals $J$ with intervals contained in $\r$. |
416 | 631 |
Having chains on the space of collar maps act gives rise to coherence maps involving |
632 |
weak identities. |
|
420 | 633 |
We will not pursue this in detail here. |
97 | 634 |
|
103 | 635 |
Note that if we take homology of chain complexes, we turn an $A_\infty$ $n$-category |
636 |
into a plain $n$-category (enriched over graded groups). |

In a different direction, if we enrich over topological spaces instead of chain complexes, |
97 | 638 |
we get a space version of an $A_\infty$ $n$-category, with $\Homeo_\bd(X)$ acting |
639 |
instead of $C_*(\Homeo_\bd(X))$. |

The alert reader will have already noticed that our definition of a (plain) $n$-category |
416 | 646 |
is extremely similar to our definition of a system of fields. |
647 |
There are two differences. |

Second, in category definition we directly impose isotopy |

invariance in dimension $n$, while in the fields definition we |

instead remember a subspace of local relations which contain differences of isotopic fields. |

Product morphisms are compatible with module composition and module action. |

1305 |
Let $\pi:E\to M$, $\pi_1:E_1\to M_1$, and $\pi_2:E_2\to M_2$ |
|
1306 |
be pinched products with $E = E_1\cup E_2$. |
|
1307 |
Let $a\in \cM(M)$, and let $a_i$ denote the restriction of $a$ to $M_i\sub M$. |
|
1308 |
Then |
|
1309 |
\[ |

\pi^*(a) = \pi_1^*(a_1)\bullet \pi_2^*(a_2) . |
|
1311 |
\] |
|
1312 |
Similarly, if $\rho:D\to X$ is a pinched product of plain balls and |
|
1313 |
$E = D\cup E_1$, then |
|
1314 |
\[ |
|
1315 |
\pi^*(a) = \rho^*(a')\bullet \pi_1^*(a_1), |
|
1316 |

where $a'$ is the restriction of $a$ to $D$. |
|
1318 |
\item |
|
1319 |
Product morphisms are associative. |
|
1320 |
If $\pi:E\to M$ and $\rho:D\to E$ are marked pinched products then |
|
1321 |
\[ |
|
1322 |
\rho^*\circ\pi^* = (\pi\circ\rho)^* . |

Product morphisms are compatible with restriction. |

such that $\rho$ and $\pi$ are pinched products, then |

the axioms of an $n{+}1$-category (in particular, duality requirements), we will have to assume |

Our first task is to define an $n$-category $m$-sphere module, for $0\le m \le n-1$. |
|
1811 |
These will be defined in terms of certain classes of marked balls, very similarly |
|
1812 |
to the definition of $n$-category modules above. |
|
1813 |
(This, in turn, is very similar to our definition of $n$-category.) |
|
1814 |
Because of this similarity, we only sketch the definitions below. |
|
1815 |

We start with $0$-sphere modules, which also could reasonably be called (categorified) bimodules. |
205 | 1817 |
(For $n=1$ they are precisely bimodules in the usual, uncategorified sense.) |

An $n$-category $0$-sphere module $\cM$ over the $n$-categories $\cA$ and $\cB$ is a collection of functors $\cM_k$ from the category |

Given a decomposition of a $0$-marked $k$-ball $X$ into smaller balls $X_i$, we have |

Part of the structure of an $n$-category 0-sphere module $\cM$ is captured by saying it is |
206 | 1855 |
a collection $\cD^{ab}$ of $n{-}1$-categories, indexed by pairs $(a, b)$ of objects (0-morphisms) |
1856 |
of $\cA$ and $\cB$. |
|
1857 |
Let $J$ be some standard 0-marked 1-ball (i.e.\ an interval with a marked point in its interior). |
|
1858 |
Given a $j$-ball $X$, $0\le j\le n-1$, we define |
|
1859 |
\[ |
|
1860 |
\cD(X) \deq \cM(X\times J) . |
|
1861 |
\] |
|
1862 |
The product is pinched over the boundary of $J$. |
|
327 | 1863 |
The set $\cD$ breaks into ``blocks" according to the restrictions to the pinched points of $X\times J$ |
209 | 1864 |
(see Figure \ref{feb21b}). |
206 | 1865 |
These restrictions are 0-morphisms $(a, b)$ of $\cA$ and $\cB$. |

the edges of $K$ are labeled by 0-sphere modules, |
