Let and be groups, and assume that there exists a group homomorphism . The semidirect product of and with respect to is defined as follows:
(1) As set, is the Cartesian product of N and K;
(2) The multiplication is given by
for any a N and x N.
Let and be two groups and act on the set . Assume that is the set of all maps from to . Define the multiplication of and the group homomorphism from to Aut as follows:
for any
The semidirect product is called the (general) wreath product of and , written as wr .
A (small) category is left locally Garside if
It is left Noetherian.
It has the left cancellation property, i.e. implies (in other words, every morphism is an epimorphism).
Two morphisms which have some common right multiple have a right lcm.
The sc-smooth map between two M-polyfolds is called a fred-submersion if at every point resp. there exists a chart resp. satisfying and
and, moreover, the splicing has the special property that the projections do not depend on and project onto a finite dimensional subspace of .
A differential form is multiplicative if

A symplectic groupoid is a groupoid with a multiplicative symplectic form . (I usually denote a symplectic groupoid as .)
For every we denote by a strip in Nim of length . We write and as shorthand for and , respectively. Formally, we have
A quotient map is faithful if, for all ,
The Kac-Moody Lie algebra associated with the generalized Cartan matrix is the Lie algebra generated by the elements and with the defining relations
The elements of (resp. ) are called simple roots (resp. simple coroots ) of
Let and be (Abelian) groups. A factor set is a map such that, for every , , ,

One of the basic tools for investigating identities
is the notion of refinement.
The idea is to compute the values
