Review text

The type of structure on a category corresponding to \(n\)-fold loop spaces has been a matter of study for some time. \textit{C. Balteanu, Z. Fiedorowciz, R. Schwänzl} and \textit{R. Vogt} [Adv. Math. 176, 277-349 (2003; Zbl 1030.18006)] introduced the notion of \(n\)-fold monoidal category and proved that the group completion of the classifying space of such a category is an \(n\)-fold loop space. In this paper the authors use a new description of lax functors and of a variant of Street's second rectification to approach the question whether, up to weak equivalence, any \(n\)-fold loop space is the group completion of the classifying space of an \(n\)-fold monoidal category. They actually prove that, up to weak equivalence, the categories of \({\mathcal C}_n\)-spaces [where \({\mathcal C}_n\) is the little \(n\)-cubes operad of \textit{J. M. Boardman} and \textit{R. M. Vogt}, Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 74, 1117--1122 (1968; Zbl 0165.26204)] and of simplicial \(n\)-fold monoidal categories are equivalent.
