The van Est homomorphism for strict Lie 2-groups

Abstract

We construct a van Est map for strict Lie 2-groups from the Bott-Shulman-Stasheff double complex of the strict Lie 2-group to the Weil algebra of its associated strict Lie 2-algebra. We show that, under appropriate connectedness assumptions, this map induces isomorphisms in cohomology. As an application, we differentiate the Segal 2-form on the loop group.
