   Format: MarkdownItexI see that links to the fundamental category with duals of a stratified space. That old Cafe discussion led to a paper by Woolf, as John mentioned [here](http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2009/09/what_do_mathematicians_need_to_1.html#c027263). It's [Transversal homotopy theory](http://arxiv.org/abs/0910.3322). Did anything come of that?

   Format: MarkdownItexI added excellent notes * M. Banagl, _Topological invariants of stratified spaces_, Springer Monographs in Math. 2000. As a graduate student in Wisconsin, I was among the guinea pigs who listened an excellent and clear exposition by the author of parts of the notes (directed toward the [[intersection cohomology]]) , before they were finalized.

   Format: MarkdownItex@David - I'm not sure, but Lurie has some material in appendix A to _Higher Algebra_ on what he calls the exit-path $\infty$-category. I think this is a generalisation of the 2-category described by Treumann in arXiv:0708.0659 and the results therein. Essentially representations of the exit path $\infty$-category in $\infty Gpd$ are the same as constructible $\infty$-sheaves, generalising the case of representations of the fundamental $\infty$-groupoid being the same as locally constant $\infty$-sheaves. This is of course a massive generalisation of the old result that representations of the fundamental groupoid in $Set$ give covering spaces. I should say that 'constructible' just means 'locally constant on each stratum'. The 1-stack of perverse sheaves (a subcategory of the derived category of coherent sheaves) is an example of a constructible 1-stack. There is a van Kampen theorem for the exit-path $\infty$-category, which I like to think of as the ultimate version of Ronnie Brown's work on van Kampen-type results on filtered spaces (which give rise to a natural stratification).

   Format: MarkdownItexSo the Baez-Dolan approach is different. Paths cross strata, not just exit them. Woolf had already done [something](http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2006/11/this_weeks_finds_in_mathematic_2.html#c020261) along the lines of Treumann.
