Cohomology of hemistrict Lie 2-algebras

Abstract: We study representations of hemistrict Lie 2-algebras and give a functorial construction of their cohomology. We prove that both the cohomology of an injective hemistrict Lie 2-algebra $L$ and the cohomology of the semistrict Lie 2-algebra obtained from skew-symmetrization of $L$ are isomorphic to the Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of the induced Lie algebra $L_{\operatorname{Lie}}$.
