Definition

An ∞-group is a group object in ∞Grpd.

Equivalently (by the delooping hypothesis) it is a pointed connected \infty-groupoid.

Under the identification of ∞Grpd with Top this is known as a grouplike A A_\infty-space, for instance.

An \infty-Lie group is accordingly a group object in ∞-Lie groupoids. And so on.

Properties
