n-exangulated categories

For each positive integer $n$ we introduce the notion of $n$-exangulated categories as higher dimensional analogues of extriangulated categories defined by Nakaoka-Palu. We characterize which $n$-exangulated categories are $n$-exact in the sense of Jasso and which are $(n+2)$-angulated in the sense of Geiss-Keller-Oppermann. For extriangulated categories with enough projectives and injectives we introduce the notion of $n$-cluster tilting subcategories and show that under certain conditions such $n$-cluster tilting subcategories are $n$-exangulated.
