What is the notion of a group object and its action in a 2-category?
It is well known that a group object in a category $C$ (with terminal object $1$ and such that any two objects of $C$ have a product) is defined as an object $G$ in $C$ with the following morphisms:
$...

A name in literature for a certain kind of 2-categories
Let $tr_2: \mathrm{sSet} \to \mathrm{sSet}_{\le 2} $ be the 2-truncation functor.
Let $C$ be a 2-truncated simplicial set such that every horn $tr_2( \Lambda^2_1) \to C$ extends to $tr_2(\Delta_2) \...

Recognition principle for 2-categories (2-groupoids)
Given a 2-category (i.e. bicategory) $C$ there is a unitary geometrical nerve whose 0-simplices are objects of $C$, 1-simplices are 1-arrows of $C$, 2-simplices are 2-commutative triangles (in certain ...
