Stabilization hypothesis

In mathematics, specifically in category theory and algebraic topology, the Baez–Dolan stabilization hypothesis, proposed in , states that suspension of a weak n-category has no more essential effect after n + 2 times. Precisely, it states that the suspension functor is an equivalence for .
