Summary

Rewriting the Rules: Polygraphs, Higher Categories, and Homotopical Algebra

This book pioneers a fresh perspective on rewriting theory by exploring it within the framework of strict higher categories, using the unifying power of polygraphs, and situating it within the broader context of homotopical algebra.

The first part delves into the theory of polygraphs in lower dimensions, demonstrating their practical applications in computing the coherence of algebraic structures. Re…
