Fusion systems in algebra and topology / Michael Aschbacher, Radha Kessar, Bob Oliver.

"A fusion system over a p-group S is a category whose objects form the set of all subgroups of S, whose morphisms are certain injective group homomorphisms, and which satisfies axioms first formulated by Puig that are modelled on conjugacy relations in finite groups. The definition was originally mo...
