A Wells-like exact sequence for abelian extensions of relative Rota--Baxter groups

Abstract: Relative Rota--Baxter groups, a generalization of Rota--Baxter groups, are closely connected to skew left braces, which play a fundamental role in understanding non-degenerate set-theoretical solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. In this paper, we explore the inducibility problem for automorphisms of abelian extensions of relative Rota--Baxter groups. This problem is intricately linked to the recently introduced second cohomology of relative Rota--Baxter groups. Specifically, we prove a Wells-like exact sequence for abelian extensions of relative Rota--Baxter groups. The sequence establishes a connection among the group of derivations, certain automorphism group, and the second cohomology of relative Rota--Baxter groups, thereby giving precise structural relationships between these groups.
