Hom's in this category are groups and we investigate functoriality the properties of this group. The classification problem in Niq is reduced to a certain linear problem. Keywords: Class two nilpotent group, quadratic map, linear extension of categories. MSC: 20E99; 18G50 [ Fulltext-pdf (318 KB)] for subscribers only. |
