UNDERLYING GRUPOIDS

Murat Alp Sedat Pak

Abstract

In this paper we describe a package XMOD (Wensley and

Alp,1993) of functions for computing with crossed modules, their

morphisms and derivations; cat' -groups, their morphisms and

sections, written using the sf GAP (Schonert , 1993) group theory

programming language. We have also enumerated the isomorphism

classes of cat-groups in (Alp ,1997) and (Alp, Wensley ,1997) and

(Alp ,1997) We gave the application algorithms and some

mathematical results on cat' -group structures in (Alp, 1998) . We also

made a computational comment on pre-crossed modules, pre-cat Igroups

and underlying grupoids in this paper.

Keywords

Crossed modules, Cat'<groups, underlying grupoids
