Stabilization hypothesis

In mathematics, specifically in category theory and algebraic topology, the Baez–Dolan stabilization hypothesis, proposed in Template:Harv, states that suspension of a weak n-category has no more essential effect after n + 2 times. Precisely, it states that the suspension functor ${𝗇𝖢𝖺𝗍}_k\to {𝗇𝖢𝖺𝗍}_{k+1}$ is an equivalence for $k\ge n+2$.
