- Abstract
- While the co-smash product of objects in a semi-abelian category may be used as a formal commutator [2, 3], ever since its introduction in [1] it has also been clear that certain tensor products appear as co-smash products. In my talk I will explain how the co-smash product of objects in the two-nilpotent core Nil2(X) of a semi-abelian category X determines a so-called bilinear product on the abelian core Ab(X) of X. In certain homological applications, this may then play the role of an intrinsic tensor product on X. (Joint work with Manfred Hartl.) References [1] A. Carboni and G.
