Homotopy theory of higher categories

Abstract: This is the first draft of a book about higher categories approached by iterating Segal's method, as in Tamsamani's definition of

n

-nerve and Pelissier's thesis. If

M

is a tractable left proper cartesian model category, we construct a tractable left proper cartesian model structure on the category of

M

-precategories. The procedure can then be iterated, leading to model categories of

(i n f t y, n)

-categories.
