Mar 23, 2017 at 20:31 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @BenjaminSteinberg Strictly speaking, not on a category but on a bunch of categories :D
Mar 23, 2017 at 20:30 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე A fairly general semidirect product notion exists in semiabelian categories, see the paper by Bourn and Janelidze "Protomodularity, Descent and Semidirect Products" in TAC (1998). Basically, it works for those varieties of algebras where surjective homomorphisms have identifiable element inverses; then any split surjective homomorphism can be described as a semidirect product. This includes groups, Lie algebras, associative algebras (with an algebra with unit acting on another one without unit via bimultiplications), and many more.

Mar 23, 2017 at 19:06 comment added Gerhard Paseman There are wreath products for other algebraic structures. Joel Vanderwerf did his dissertation under John Rhodes on this. Gerhard "If You Ignore Function Signature" Paseman, 2017.03.23.
