The theory of abelian categories proved very useful, providing an axiomatic framework for homology and cohomology of modules over a ring and, in particular, of abelian groups. For many years, a similar categorical framework has been lacking…

Semi-abelian and finitely cocomplete homological categories are characterized in terms of four resp. three simple axioms, in terms of the basic categorical notions introduced in the first few chapters of MacLane's classical book. As an…

We show that for a given exact category, there exists a bijection between semibricks (pairwise Hom-orthogonal set of bricks) and length wide subcategories (exact extension-closed length abelian subcategories). In particular, we show that a…

In the context of internal crossed modules over a fixed base object in a given semi-abelian category, we use the non-abelian tensor product in order to prove that an object is perfect (in an appropriate sense) if and only if it admits a…

In [16], a theory of universal extensions in abelian categories is developed; in particular, the notion of Ext-universal object is presented. In the present paper, we show that an Ab3 abelian category which is Ext-small satisfies the Ab4…

We extend to semi-abelian categories the notion of characteristic subobject, which is widely used in group theory and in the theory of Lie algebras. Moreover, we show that many of the classical properties of characteristic subgroups of a…

We introduce $n$-abelian and $n$-exact categories, these are analogs of abelian and exact categories from the point of view of higher homological algebra. We show that $n$-cluster-tilting subcategories of abelian (resp. exact) categories…

We show that the Peiffer commutator previously defined by Cigoli, Mantovani and Metere can be used to characterize central extensions of precrossed modules with respect to the subcategory of crossed modules in any semi-abelian category…

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)…

We introduce the concept of a pseudo-cluster tilting subcategory from the viewpoint of the fact that the quotient of an exact category by a cluster tilting subcategory is an abelian category. We prove that the quotients in the case of…

We make explicit some conditions on a semi-abelian category D such that, for any abelian group A in D and any object Y in D, the cohomology group homomorphisms with coefficients in A, induced by the inclusion of the abelian objects of D at…

We show that for a pointed protomodular category $\mathbb{C}$ satisfying a certain condition on those Huq commutators which exist, if $X$ is a perfect object in $\mathbb{C}$ such that the split extension classifier $[X]$ exists, then the…

The question of which separable C*-algebras have abelian central sequence algebras was raised and studied by Phillips ([Ph88]) and Ando-Kirchberg ([AK14]). In this paper we give a complete answer to their question: A separable C*-algebra…

We show that torsion pairs in Krull--Schmidt abelian categories induce an equivalence between the subcategory of torsion-free objects admitting universal extensions to the torsion subcategory, and a quotient of the ext-orthogonal complement…

Let $\C$ be an $(n+2)$-angulated category with shift functor $\Sigma$ and $\X$ be a cluster-tilting subcategory of $\C$. Then we show that the quotient category $\C/\X$ is an $n$-abelian category. If $\C$ has a Serre functor, then $\C/\X$…

In this work we introduce the notions of Peiffer product and Peiffer commutator of internal pre-crossed modules over a fixed object B, extending the corresponding classical notions to any semi-abelian category C. We prove that, under mild…

In the sense of Palamodov, a preabelian category is semi-abelian if for every morphism the natural morphism between the cokernel of its kernel and the kernel of its cokernel is simultaneously a monomorphism and an epimorphism. In this…

Let A be an exact category, that is, an extension-closed full subcategory of an abelian category. Firstly, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for A to have almost split sequences. Then, we study when an almost split sequence…

We characterize projective objects in the category of internal crossed modules within any semi-abelian category. When this category forms a variety of algebras, the internal crossed modules again constitute a semi-abelian variety, ensuring…

We introduce a notion of relative commutator -- an important special case being commutators twisted by an action -- as a straightforward modification of the definition of the Higgins commutator, establish its relation with a new notion of…
