Homotopies of 2-Algebra Morphisms
Abstract
In [1] it is defined the notion of 2-algebra as a categorification of algebras, and shown that the category of strict 2-algebras is equivalent to the category of crossed modules in commutative algebras. In this paper we define the notion of homotopy for 2-algebras and we explore the relations of crossed module homotopy and 2-algebra homotopy.
