    Is there any proof of Brown-Spencer Theorem ,which states that the categories of crossed modules resp. categorical groups are equivalent, algebraic version?

    (Ha, when I first saw the title of the thread, my immediate thought was instead of Spencer-Brown, author of Laws of Form. (-: )

    Can you ask that again, elif? I thought the proof was algebraic, in the sense that it doesn’t need homotopy theory or anything.

    Is there any equivalance between the category of crossed modules of algebras and categorical groups algebraic correspondence?

    There is an equivalence between the category of crossed modules in a semiabelian category CC, and the category of internal groupoids in CC, if that helps. See eg this paper by Janelidze (pdf link).

    David, could you put that remark and that link on the relevant nnLab page? Thanks!

    I was surprised it wan’t there already! Will do.

    Thanks. Also that Brown-Spencer reference is somwhat hidden in the middle of the article here. Maybe when you get to it you could produce one coherent paragraph that points to both references.

    OK, now at crossed module.

    Will have to get back to #8. Need to work on some lectures for tomorrow.

    EDIT: also, for reference, there is mention of Brown-Spencer at the page cat-1-group.

    What is the internal groupoids in the category of algebras without units?

    Internal category. Up to you, I suppose.
