چکیده
A strict 2-group is a 2-category with one object in which all morphisms and all 2morphisms have inverses. 2-Groups have been studied in the context of homotopy theory, higher gauge theory and Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT). In the present article, we develop the notions of trialgebra and cotrialgebra, generalizations of Hopf algebras with two multiplications and one comultiplication or vice versa, and the notion of Hopf categories, generalizations of monoidal categories with an additional functorial comultiplication. We show that each strict 2-group has a ‘group algebra’ which is a cocommutative trialgebra, and that each strict finite 2-group has a ‘function algebra’ which is a commutative cotrialgebra. Each such commutative cotrialgebra gives rise to a symmetric Hopf category of corepresentations. In the semisimple case, this Hopf category is a 2-vector space according to Kapranov and Voevodsky. We also show that strict compact topological 2-groups are characterized by their C∗-cotrialgebras of ‘complex-valued functions’, generalizing the Gel’fand representation, and that commutative cotrialgebras are characterized by their symmetric Hopf categories of corepresentations, generalizing Tannaka–Krěın reconstruction. Technically, all these results are obtained using ideas from functorial semantics, by studying models of the essentially algebraic theory of categories in various base categories of familiar algebraic structures and the functors that describe the relationships between them.

In August of 1990 Alexander Vinogradov sent a letter to Peter Michor in Vienna with the suggestion to set up a research institute devoted to mathematics and physics in Vienna. Setting up such an institution was seen as a potentially valuable contribution at this time of crisis for the Eastern European scientific community: based on the cultural and scientific tradition in Vienna, especially in ...

We study the Harish-Chandra Schwartz space of an adelic quotient G(F )\G(A). We state a conjectural spectral decomposition of it in terms of parabolic induction. We verify a cuspidal version of this conjecture under additional hypotheses on the group G, which are known to be satisfied for G = GLn.
