This is an expository article on the theory of formal group laws in homotopy theory, with the goal of leading to the connection with higher-dimensional abelian varieties and automorphic forms. These are roughly based on a talk at the…

By regarding the classical non abelian cohomology of groups from a 2-dimensional categorical viewpoint, we are led to a non abelian cohomology of groupoids which continues to satisfy classification, interpretation and representation…

We introduce for any Poisson algebra a bicomplex of free Poisson modules, and use it to show that the Poisson cohomology theory introduced in the paper "[M. Flato, M. Gerstenhaber and A. A. Voronov, Cohomology and Deformation of Leibniz…

We prove a result that can be applied to determine the finite-dimensional simple Poisson modules over a Poisson algebra and apply it to numerous examples. In the discussion of the examples, the emphasis is on the correspondence with the…

The aim of this paper is to present an extension theorem for the functions separately holomorphic on generalized (N,k)-crosses with pluripolar singularities.

We introduce the isoclinism of crossed modules. We also give GAP implementations for constructing the isoclinism families of finite crossed modules and consequently give an enumeration about isoclinic crossed modules existing in the GAP…

Topos properties of the category of covering groupoids over a fixed groupoid are discussed. A classification result for connected covering groupoids over a fixed groupoid analogous to the fundamental theorem of Galois theory is given.

We define 2-crossed module bundle 2-gerbes related to general Lie 2-crossed modules and discuss their properties. A 2-crossed module bundle 2-gerbe over a manifold is defined in terms of a so called 2-crossed module bundle gerbe, which is a…

The polytope subalgebra of deformations of a zonotope can be endowed with the structure of a module over the Tits algebra of the corresponding hyperplane arrangement. We explore this construction and find relations between statistics on…

This is an expository article on properties of actions on Lie groups by subgroups of their automorphism groups. After recalling various results on the structure of the automorphism groups, we discuss actions with dense orbits, invariant and…

This paper provides some background to the theory of operads, used in the first author's papers on 2d topological field theory (hep-th/921204, CMP 159 (1994), 265-285; hep-th/9305013). It is intended for specialists.

The constitutive characterization of the uniformity and homogeneity of binary elastic composites is presented in terms of a combination of the material groupoids of the individual constituents. The incorporation of these two groupoids…

Automorphism groups are intrincate conjugacy invariants for subshifts, which can reveal important features of the dynamical structure of a shift action. One important case is the study of automorphism groups when the underlying subshift has…

In this paper, we generalize the equivariant homotopy groups or equivalently the Rhodes groups. We establish a short exact sequence relating the generalized Rhodes groups and the generalized Fox homotopy groups and we introduce…

Our main goal in this paper is to translate the diagram relating groups, Lie algebras and Hopf algebras to the corresponding 2-objects, i.e. to categorify it. This is done interpreting 2-objects as crossed modules and showing the…

We compare three different ways of defining group cohomology with coefficients in a crossed-module: 1) explicit approach via cocycles; 2) geometric approach via gerbes; 3) group theoretic approach via butterflies. We discuss the case where…

We determine the structure of completely inverse AG**-groupoids modulo semilattices of abelian groups and their involutive, idempotent-fixed automorphisms.

We extend the notions of nonautonomous dynamics to arbitrary groups, through groupoid morphisms. This also presents a generalization of classic dynamical systems and group actions. We introduce the structure of cotranslations, as a specific…

The theory of representations of a crossed module is a direct generalization of the theory of representations of groups. For a finite group G, the Drinfeld quantum double of the group G is a Hopf algebra that represents a special case of…
