Models for $(\infty ,n)$-categories and the cobordism hypothesis

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the models for $(\infty ,n)$-categories which have been developed to date, as well as the comparisons between them that are known and conjectured. We review the role of $(\infty ,n)$-categories in the proof of the Cobordism Hypothesis.
