Configurations spaces and Thetan
Abstract
We demonstrate that Joyal's category Thetan, which is central to numerous definitions of (infinity,n)-categories, naturally encodes the homotopy type of configuration spaces of marked points in Rn. This article is largely self-contained and uses only elementary techniques in combinatorics and homotopy theory.
