A bigroupoid's topology (or, Topologising the homotopy bigroupoid of a space)
Published 27 Feb 2013 in math.AT, math.CT, and math.GN | (1302.7019v3)
Abstract: The fundamental bigroupoid of a topological space is one way of capturing its homotopy 2-type. When the space is semilocally 2-connected, one can lift the construction to a bigroupoid internal to the category of topological spaces, as Brown and Danesh-Naruie lifted the fundamental groupoid to a topological groupoid. For locally relatively contractible spaces the resulting topological bigroupoid is locally trivial in a way analogous to the case of the topologised fundamental groupoid.
