Abstract
This article treats the problem of deriving the reflector of a semi-abelian category Alpha onto a Birkhoff subcategory Beta of Alpha. Basing ourselves on Carrasco, Cegarra and Grandje´an’s homology theory for crossed modules, we establish a connection between our theory of Baer invariants with a generalization—to semi-abelian categories— of Barr and Beck’s cotriple homology theory. This results in a semi-abelian version of Hopf’s formula and the Stallings-Stammbach sequence from group homology.
