Postnikov classification conjecture for semi-weak monoidal 2-categories
Postnikov classification conjecture for semi-weak monoidal 2-categories
Let be a group, an abelian group, and a commutative ring with unit group . Let be the classifying space of , and for each cohomology class let be a CW-approximation of the principal fibration induced by a representative map . Consider the semi-weak monoidal 2-category structures on and their equivalence classes. Postnikov classification conjecture. These equivalence classes correspond bijectively to pairs of cohomology classes
This is motivated by the Postnikov classification of connected 3-types with homotopy groups , , and , but the correspondence between the categorical structures and these cohomological data remains conjectural.
