Stabilisation of crossed modules?

D. Conduché has introduced a notion of a stable crossed module ("Modules croisés généralisés de longueur 2", JPAA 34 (1984) pp155–178, doi:10.1016/0022-4049(84)90034-3, Def. 3.1). Is there a ...

Explicit examples of 4-cocycles over finite 2-groups

By a (finite) 2-group $X$, I mean a finite group $G$, a finite abelian group $A$, an action of $G$ on $\operatorname{Aut}(A)$, as well as a 3-cocycle $\alpha\in H^3(BG, A)$. They are also equivalent ...

On 2 crossed modules

Let $(G,H,\alpha,\tau)$ and $(H,J,\alpha',\tau')$ be two crossed modules of groups. It is given that $Kernel(\tau) \cap Image(\tau')$ =$e$. For every $h\in H$ does there always exist a $j_h \in J$ ...

Lie Algebra of Aut(GL(n,R))

What is the Lie Algebra of $Aut(Gl(n,F))$ when $F$ is either $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$? Is it enough to consider the injection via Hochschild: $Aut(GL(n)) \to Aut(\mathfrak{gl}(n))$? Edit: The ...

Crossed modules quasi-isomorphic to a quasi-abelian crossed module

This is a follow-up of this question, where the definition of a quasi-abelian crossed module was given. Namely, a crossed module $\partial\colon F\to G$ is quasi-abelian if the embedding $\partial_Z\...
