Crossed products of crossed modules of Hopf monoids

J.N. Alonso Alvarez, J.M. Fernandez Vilaboa, and R. Gonzalez Rodriguez

In this paper we consider a crossed product of two crossed modules of Hopf monoids in a strict symmetric monoidal category ${\mathcal C}$ and give necessary and sufficient conditions to get a new crossed module of Hopf monoids in ${\mathcal C}$. Moreover we introduce the notion of projection of crossed modules of Hopf monoids and show that with additional hypotheses, any of these projections defines a new crossed module of Hopf monoids and allows us to construct an example of this kind of crossed product. Finally, we develop the explicit computations of a crossed product associated to a projection of crossed modules in groups.
