TRHW01 - Workshop on topology, representation theory and higher structures

Partial groups are group-like structures where instead of a binary product, one has a total product defined only on a subset of words of the underlying set. They were introduced by Chermak ultimately for the purpose of studying the $p$-local structure of a finite group, which itself can be distilled into a special type of partial group called a locality.  Gonzalez showed that a partial group is really a special type of simplicial set.  I will explain how to view the category of partial groups as reflective subcategory of presheaves on the category of nonempty finite sets and all functions, which for example leads to a concrete way for computing colimits of partial groups.  I will outline some preliminary work in progress studying higher associativity of partial groupoids in the context of the Dyckerhoff—Kapranov higher Segal conditions.
