Definition

Definition

An ∞-group $G$ is braided if it is equipped with the following equivalent structure

1. Regarded as a monoidal (∞,1)-category, $G$ is a braided monoidal (∞,1)-category.

2. The delooping ∞-groupoid $\mathbf{B}G$ has the structure of an ∞-group.

3. The double delooping ∞-groupoid $\mathbf{B}^2 G$ exists.

4. The groupal A-∞ algebra/E1-algebra structure on $G$ refines to an E2-algebra structure.

5. $G$ is a doubly groupal ∞-groupoid.

6. $G$ is a groupal doubly monoidal (∞,0)-category.

Examples
