## 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 $A_\infty$-space, for instance.

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

## Properties
