Idea

A path nn-groupoid P n(X)P_n(X) of a smooth space (or generalized smooth space) XX is a diffeological n-groupoid which is

Its j-morphisms are given by (possibly equivalence classes of) jj-dimensional smooth paths in XX, i.e. usually smooth maps γ:D jX\gamma : D^j \to X. Composition is by gluing of such maps.

Path 1-groupoid

See path groupoid.

Path 2-groupoid

Definitions of path 2-groupoids as strict 2-groupoids internal to diffeological spaces appear (at least) in

For the underlying notion of fundamental 2-groupoid see there.

Path 3-groupoid

A realization of the path 3-groupoid as a Gray-groupoid internal to diffeological spaces appears in
