HOMOLOGY OF N-FOLD GROUPOIDS Dedicated to Dominique Bourn on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday

چکیده
Any semi-abelian category A appears, via the discrete functor, as a full replete reflective subcategory of the semi-abelian category of internal groupoids in A. This allows one to study the homology of n-fold internal groupoids with coefficients in a semi-abelian category A, and to compute explicit higher Hopf formulae. The crucial concept making such computations possible is the notion of protoadditive functor, which can be seen as a natural generalisation of the notion of additive functor.

COMMUTATOR THEORY IN STRONGLY PROTOMODULAR CATEGORIES Dedicated to Aurelio Carboni on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday
We show that strongly protomodular categories (as the category Gp of groups for instance) provide an appropriate framework in which the commutator of two equivalence relations do coincide with the commutator of their associated normal subobjects, whereas it is not the case in any semi-abelian category.
متن کاملMONADIC APPROACH TO GALOIS DESCENT AND COHOMOLOGY Dedicated to Dominique Bourn at the occasion of his sixtieth birthday
We describe a simplified categorical approach to Galois descent theory. It is well known that Galois descent is a special case of Grothendieck descent, and that under mild additional conditions the category of Grothendieck descent data coincides with the Eilenberg-Moore category of algebras over a suitable monad. This also suggests using monads directly, and our monadic approach to Galois desce...
متن کاملACTION ACCESSIBILITY FOR CATEGORIES OF INTEREST Dedicated to Dominique Bourn on the occasion of his 60th birthday
We prove that every category of interest (in the sense of [17]) is action accessible in the sense of [8]. This fact allows us to give an intrinsic description of centers and centralizers in this class of categories. We give also some new examples of categories of interest, mainly arising from Loday’s paper [11], [12] and [14].
متن کاملINTERNAL CROSSED MODULES AND PEIFFER CONDITION Dedicated to Dominique Bourn on the occasion of his 60th birthday
In this paper we show that in a homological category in the sense of F. Borceux and D. Bourn, the notion of an internal precrossed module corresponding to a star-multiplicative graph, in the sense of G. Janelidze, can be obtained by directly internalizing the usual axioms of a crossed module, via equivariance. We then exhibit some sufficient conditions on a homological category under which this...
متن کاملThe Reliable Algorithmic Software Challenge RASC
When I was asked to contribute to a volume dedicated to Thomas Ottmann’s sixtieth birthday, I immediately agreed. I have known Thomas for more than 25 years, I like him, and I admire his work and his abilities as a cyclist. Of course, when it came to start writing, I started to have second thoughts. What should I write about? I could have taken one of my recent papers. But that seemed inappropr...
