We develop the Tannaka-Krein duality for monoidal functors with target in the categories of bimodules over a ring. The $\coend$ of such a functor turns out to be a Hopf algebroid over this ring. Using the result of a previous paper we…

In this paper we will define notion homotopy of morphisms of crossed modules of Lie algebras. Then we construct a groupoid structure of Lie crossed module morphisms and their homotopies.

We mainly investigate abelian quotients of the categories of short exact sequences. The natural framework to consider the question is via identifying quotients of morphism categories as modules categories. These ideas not only can be used…

We introduce a notion of c-group, which is a group up to congruence relation and consider the corresponding category. Extensions, actions and crossed modules (c-crossed modules) are defined in this category and the semi-direct product is…

We give an explicit description of the category of central extensions of a group scheme by a sheaf of Abelian groups. Based on this, we describe a framework for computing with central extensions of finite commutative group schemes, torsors…

Let k be an algebraically closed field, let R be an associative k-algebra, and let F = {M_a: a in I} be a family of orthogonal points in R-Mod such that End_R(M_a) = k for all a in I. Then Mod(F), the minimal full sub-category of R-Mod…

This is the second part of a series of three strongly related papers in which three equivalent structures are studied: - internal categories in categories of monoids; defined in terms of pullbacks relative to a chosen class of spans -…

Using cohomological methods, we prove a criterion for the embedding of a group extension with abelian kernel into the split extension of a co-induced module. This generalises some earlier similar results. We also prove an assertion about…

In some bicategories, the 1-cells are `morphisms' between the 0-cells, such as functors between categories, but in others they are `objects' over the 0-cells, such as bimodules, spans, distributors, or parametrized spectra. Many…

We can define a module to be an exact functor on a small abelian category. This is explained and shown to be equivalent to the usual definition but it does offer a different perspective, inspired by the notions from model theory of…

We determine which complex abelian varieties can be realized as the automorphism group of a smooth projective variety.

We review several known categorification procedures, and introduce a functorial categorification of group extensions with applications to non-abelian group cohomology. Categorification of acyclic models and of topological spaces are briefly…

Pursuing a generalization of group symmetries of modular categories to category symmetries in topological phases of matter, we study linear Hopf monads. The main goal is a generalization of extension and gauging group symmetries to category…

The 2-categories of strict 2-groups and crossed modules are introduced and their 2-equivalence is made explicit.

It is proved that for a commutative noetherian ring with dualizing complex the homotopy category of projective modules is equivalent, as a triangulated category, to the homotopy category of injective modules. Restricted to compact objects,…

The purpose of this short and elementary note is to identify some classes of exact categories introduced in L. Previdi's thesis. Among other things we show: (1) An exact category is partially abelian exact if and only if it is abelian. (2)…

The aim of this paper is to define and study the 3-category of extensions of Picard 2-stacks over a site S and to furnish a geometrical description of the cohomology groups Ext^i of length 3 complexes of abelian sheaves. More precisely, our…

It is known that finite crossed modules provide premodular tensor categories. These categories are in fact modularizable. We construct the modularization and show that it is equivalent to the module category of a finite Drinfeld double.

For any cssc-crossed module a category is constructed, equipped with a structure and proved that this is a coherent categorical group. Together with a result of the previous paper, where to any categorical group the cssc-crossed module is…

We consider Frobenius algebras and their bimodules in certain abelian monoidal categories. In particular we study the Picard group of the category of bimodules over a Frobenius algebra, i.e. the group of isomorphism classes of invertible…
