A Note on 4-Dimensional 2-Crossed Modules

Abstract

The study presents the direct product of two objects in the category of 4-dimensional 2-crossed modules. The structures of the domain, kernel, image, and codomain can be related using isomorphism theorems by defining the kernel and image of a morphism in a category. It then establishes the kernel and image of a morphism in the category of 4-dimensional 2-crossed modules to apply isomorphism theorems. These isomorphism theorems provide a powerful tool to understand the properties of this category. Moreover, isomorphism theorems in 4-dimensional 2-crossed modules allow us to establish connections between different algebraic structures and simplify complicated computations. Lastly, the present research inquires whether additional studies should be conducted.
