From cssc-crossed modules to categorical groups

Abstract

For any cssc-crossed module a category is constructed, equipped with a structure and proved that this is a coherent categorical group. Together with a result of the previous paper, where to any categorical group the cssc-crossed module is associated, this construction will enable us to prove an equivalence between the categories of categorical groups and of cssc-crossed modules in the sequel to this paper.
