Semidirect products and crossed modules in varieties of right $\Omega$-loops

Edward B. Inyangala

We present a new explicit construction of categorical semidirect products in an arbitrary variety V of right $\Omega$-loops and use it to obtain simplified descriptions of internal precrossed and crossed modules in V.

Keywords: semidirect products, variety of right loops, crossed module, precrossed module
