we give the concept of ‘braiding’ for 2-groupoids, and we show that this structure is equivalent tobraided regular, crossed modules.

Let A be a Hopf algebra in a braided category C. Crossed modules over A are introduced and studied as objects with both module and comodule structures satisfying a compatibility condition. The category DY (C)AA of crossed modules is braided and is a concrete realization of a known general construction of a double or center of a monoidal category. For a quantum braided group (A,A,R) the correspo...

The Yang-Baxter equation plays a fundamental role in various areas of mathematics. Its solutions, called braidings, are built, among others, from Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a Hopf algebra, from self-distributive structures, and from crossed modules of groups. In the present paper these three sources of solutions are unified inside the framework of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over a braided system...

The relation between crossed product and H-Galois extension in braided tensor categories is established. It is shown that A = B#σH is a crossed product algebra if and only if the extension A/B is Galois, the inverse can of the canonical morphism can factors through object A⊗B A and A is isomorphic as left B-modules and right H-comodules to B⊗H in braided tensor categories. For the Yetter-Drinfe...

In this paper, we give a natural braiding on the universal central extension of Lie crossed module with given in category modules. We also construct braided modules, showing that, when one these constructions exists, both them exist and coincide.

Braided Hopf algebras have attracted much attention in both mathematics and mathematical physics (see e.g. [1][4][13][15][17][16][20][23]). The classification of finite dimensional Hopf algebras is interesting and important for their applications (see [2] [22]). Braided Hopf algebras play an important role in the classification of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras (e.g. [2][1] [19]). The...
