Explicit Formulas for 2-Characters
Abstract
Ganter and Kapranov associated a 2-character to 2-representations of a finite group. Elgueta classified 2-representations in the category of 2-vector spaces 2Vectk in terms of cohomological data. We give an explicit formula for the 2-character in terms of this cohomological data and derive some consequences.
