We prove a recursive formula for the exterior and symmetric powers of modules for a cyclic 2-group. This makes computation straightforward. Previously, a complete description was only known for cyclic groups of prime order.

In this short note we introduce a new metric on certain finite groups. It leads to a class of groups for which the element orders satisfy an interesting inequality. This extends the class CP_2 studied in our previous paper [16].

We define fully exact module categories, a subclass of exact module categories over a finite braided tensor category that is stable under the relative Deligne product. In contrast, we demonstrate with examples in both zero and non-zero…

Structures of commuting semigroups of isometries under certain additional assumptions like double commutativity or dual double commutativity are found.

While higher bundles are of clear relevance to higher gauge theory, examples other than abelian bundle gerbes are hard to come across. One would in particular like to see 2-bundles where the structure 2-group is the String 2-group…

Algebraic structures such as monoids, groups, and categories can be formulated within a category using commutative diagrams. In many common categories these reduce to familiar cases. In particular, group objects in Grp are abelian groups,…

We present Trimble's definition of a tetracategory and prove that the spans in (strict) 2-categories with certain limits have the structure of a monoidal tricategory, defined as a one-object tetracategory. We recall some notions of limits…

Families of codes such as group codes, constacyclic and skew cyclic codes, some of which independently suggested in the literature, turn out to be special instances of the general family of crossed product codes. Hamming-metric is a main…

For a commutative noetherian ring A, we compare the support of a complex of A-modules with the support of its cohomology. This leads to a classification of all full subcategories of A-modules which are thick (that is, closed under taking…

We describe Artin's braid group on a (fixed) finite number of strings as a crossed module over itself. In particular, we interpret the braid relations as crossed module structure relations.

The weak units of strict monoidal 1- and 2-categories are already defined. In this paper, we define them for group-like 1- and 2-stacks. We show that they form a contractible Picard 1- and 2-stack, respectively. We give their cohomological…

The concept of configuration was first introduced to give a characterization for the amenability of groups. Then the concept of two-sided configuration was suggested to provide normality to study the group structures more efficiently. It…

The goal of this thesis is to define a 2-dimensional version of abelian categories, where symmetric 2-groups play the role that abelian groups played in 1-dimensional algebra. Abelian and 2-abelian groupoid enriched categories are defined…

The linked systems of symmetric group divisible designs of type II is introduced, and several examples are obtained from affine resolvable designs and mutually UFS Latin squares. Furthermore, an equivalence between such symmetric group…

The main result of this paper is that the categories of (right) hypergroups over the group and of triples, consisting of a group, its subgroup and a (right) transversal to this subgroup, are equivalent.

The notion of cosilting module was recently introduced as a generalization of the notion of cotilting module. In this paper, we give a characterization of (partial) cosilting modules in terms of two-term cosilting complexes. Moreover, we…

We construct a machine which takes as input a locally small symmetric closed complete multicategory $\mathsf V$. And its output is again a locally small symmetric closed complete multicategory $\mathsf V\text-\mathcal{C}at$, the…

Given a strict Lie 2-algebra, we can integrate it to a strict Lie 2-group by integrating the corresponding Lie algebra crossed module. On the other hand, the integration procedure of Getzler and Henriques will also produce a 2-group. In…

A new proof of the classification for tensor ideal thick subcategories of the bounded derived category, and the stable category, of modular representations of a finite group is obtained. The arguments apply more generally to yield a…

We find crossed modules, i.e. certain 4 term exact sequences, associated to the Godbillon-Vey class for W_1, Vect(S^1), Vect_{1,0}(\Sigma) and Hol(\Sigma_r), i.e. for the Lie algebras of formal vector fields in 1 variable, vector fields on…
