The long exact sequence of homotopy n-groups (2023)
Journal Article
Buchholtz, U., & Rijke, E. (2023). The long exact sequence of homotopy n-groups. Mathematical Structures in Computer Science, 33(Special Issue 8: Homotopy Type Theory 2019), 679-687. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0960129523000038

Working in homotopy type theory, we introduce the notion of n-exactness for a short sequence F→E→BF→E→B of pointed types and show that any fiber sequence F↪E↠BF↪E↠B of arbitrary types induces a short sequence

Fn−1 En−1 Bn−1

that is n-exact at... Read More about The long exact sequence of homotopy n-groups.
