CW-complex reconstruction from associative higher groupoids
CW-complex reconstruction from associative higher groupoids
Let be a CW-complex with sets of cells, and let be an -groupoid with -cells . For each cell , let denote its associated manifold diagram and let denote its corresponding framed stratification.
CW reconstruction conjecture. There is a non-unique -groupoid such that and, for each , is equivalent to . Conversely, if arises from in this way, then as a CW-complex can be uniquely recovered from by a mapping from groupoids to CW-complexes based on the inverse of the generalised Thom–Pontryagin construction.
This is the proposed upper correspondence in the paper's square relating higher groupoids, CW-complexes, manifold diagrams and framed stratifications. It is stated as a conjecture, with no resolution given.
