sylleptic 3-group

Definition

Definition

A sylleptic 3-group is a 3-group equipped with the following equivalent structure:

1. Regarded as a monoidal 2-category, $G$ is a sylleptic monoidal 2-category.

2. The A-∞ algebra/E1-algebra structure on $G$ refines to an E3-algebra structure.

3. $G$ is a 3-tuply monoidal 2-groupoid.

4. $G$ is a groupal 3-tuply monoidal (2,0)-category.

Examples

• If $(\mathcal{C}, \otimes)$ is a sylleptic monoidal 2-category, then its Picard 3-group is a sylleptic 3-group.
