Crossed modules and Doi-Hopf modules (Q1366951): Difference between revisions

The main result of this paper is that crossed modules (also known as Yetter-Drinfeld modules) are particular cases of Doi's unified Hopf modules. A generalization of crossed modules is introduced to this end, and a generalization of the Drinfeld double is defined. The latter turns out to be isomorphic to a (generalized) smash product.
