Dimension three is an important test-bed for hypotheses in higher category theory and occupies something of a unique position in the categorical landscape. At the heart of matters is the coherence theorem, of which this book provides a definitive treatment, as well as covering related results. Along the way the author treats such material as the Gray tensor product and gives a construction of the fundamental 3-groupoid of a space. The book serves as a comprehensive introduction, covering essential material for any student of coherence and assuming only a basic understanding of higher category theory. It is also a reference ...

Reviews for Coherence in Three-Dimensional Category Theory
'Despite the complexity of the issue, the detailed treatment of the subject, fairly typical of the author, leaves no room for ambiguity, and the text can be followed very well by any attentive reader.' Josep Elgueta, Mathematical Reviews
