   abstract    = {We present a development of the theory of higher groups, including infinity groups and connective spectra, in homotopy type theory. An infinity group is simply the loops in a pointed, connected type, where the group structure comes from the structure inherent in the identity types of Martin-L\"of type theory. We investigate ordinary groups from this viewpoint, as well as higher dimensional groups and groups that can be delooped more than once. A major result is the stabilization theorem, which states that if an $n$-type can be delooped $n+2$ times, then it is an infinite loop type. Most of the results have been formalized in the Lean proof assistant.},

+## Idea
+
+An {{#concept "abelian" Disambiguation="∞-group"}}, or
+{{#concept "commutative" Disambiguation="∞-group"}} ∞-group is a
+[higher group](higher-group-theory.higher-groups.md) `A₀` that is commutative in
+a fully coherent way. There are multiple ways to express this in Homotopy Type
+Theory. One way is to say there is a
+[connective spectrum](synthetic-homotopy-theory.connective-spectra.md) `𝒜` such
+that the ∞-group appears as the first type in the sequence. {{#cite BvDR18}}
+I.e., there exists a sequence of increasingly
+[connected](foundation.connected-types.md) ∞-groups
+
+```text
+  A₀   A₁   A₂   A₃   ⋯   Aᵢ   ⋯
+```
+
+such that
+
+```text
+  Aᵢ ≃∗ Ω Aᵢ₊₁
+```
+
+Abelian ∞-groups thus give an example of another infinitely coherent structure
+that is definable in Homotopy Type Theory.
