Internal Cat-1 and XMod

Abstract

In this study, internal categories in the category of cat-1 groups, 1-cat, are determined, and it is investigated whether there is a natural equivalence between the category of these categories and the category of internal categories within the category of crossed modules of groups, XMod.

Keywords

• Crossed module
• Cat-1 group
• Internal category
• Natural equivalence
