S. Duplij et W. Marcinek, Semisupermanifolds and regularization of categories, modules, algebras andYang-Baxter equation, NUCL PH B-P, 102, 2001, pp. 293-297
The concepts of regular n-cocycles, obstruction and the regularization proc
edure are developed as the category theory analogy of the semisupermanifold
s with noninvertible transition functions. It is shown that the regularizat
ion of a category with nonivertible morphisms and obstruction form a 2-cate
gory. The generalization of some related structures to the regular case is
considered.
