Abstract:

We demonstrate that Joyal’s category $\Theta _n$, which is central to numerous definitions of $(\infty ,n)$-categories, naturally encodes the homotopy type of configuration spaces of marked points in $\mathbb {R}^n$. This article is largely self-contained and uses only elementary techniques in combinatorics and homotopy theory.
