Abstract: This is the second part of a series of three strongly related papers in which three equivalent structures are studied: - internal categories in categories of monoids; defined in terms of pullbacks relative to a chosen class of spans - crossed modules of monoids relative to this class of spans - simplicial monoids of so-called Moore length 1 relative to this class of spans. The most important examples of monoids that are covered are small categories (treated as monoids in categories of spans) and bimonoids in symmetric monoidal categories (regarded as monoids in categories of comonoids). In this second part we define relative crossed modules of monoids and prove their equivalence with the relative categories of Part I.

Review text

It is a now-classical result of \textit{R. Brown} and \textit{C. B. Spencer} [Nederl. Akad. Wet., Proc., Ser. A 79, 296--302 (1976; Zbl 0333.55011)] that crossed modules of groups correspond to internal categories within the category of groups. Numerous generalisations of this, and related results, are now known, for instance, internal groups in a semi-abelian category correspond to an appropriate notion of crossed module adapted to that context; see [\textit{G. Janelidze}, Georgian Math. J. 10, No. 1, 99--114 (2003; Zbl 1069.18009)]. There are, however, several useful application of analogues of crossed modules in other contexts not covered by those results on semi-abelian categories. In this paper, which is the second of a series of three (see [\textit{G. Böhm}, Appl. Categ. Struct. 27, No. 6, 641--662 (2019; Zbl 1430.18003); Appl. Categ. Struct. 29, No. 1, 1--29 (2021; Zbl 1475.18016)]), the author provides a categorical context in which crossed modules of monoids, relative to an `admissible' class of spans, can be defined and proves their equivalence with the relative internal categories introduced in Part I of this series of papers. This allows several interesting examples to be handled that previously were not included in the available theoretic framework.
