| contents | Adjustments are additional structures on crossed modules of Lie groups, serving as a tool in higher gauge theory to circumvent the fake flatness of connections on 2-bundles. In this article, we investigate the existence and classification of adjustments, as well as their covariance under weak equivalences. Our approach is based on a differentiation/integration correspondence with an infinitesimal version of adjustments on the associated crossed module of Lie algebras, which we then study using Lie algebra techniques. Our main result is that infinitesimal adjustments exist if and only if the Kassel-Loday classof the crossed module lies in the image of the (Lie algebraic) Chern-Weil homomorphism. |
