Abstract

Secondary homotopy groups supplement the structure of classical homotopy groups. They yield a 2-functor on the groupoid-enriched category of pointed spaces compatible with fiber sequences, suspensions and loop spaces. They also yield algebraic models of (n - 1)-connected (n + 1)-types for n ≥ 0.
