Abstract

In the first section it is shown how to introduce on an abstract category operations of tensor products and duals having properties similar to the familiar operations on the category Vec k of finite-dimensional vector spaces over a field k. What complicates this is the necessity of including enough constraints so that, whenever an obvious isomorphism (e.g., exists in Vec k, a unique isomorphism is constrained to exist also in the abstract setting.

Keywords

  • Abelian Variety
  • Tensor Category
  • Forgetful Functor
  • Grade Vector Space
  • Fibre Functor

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
