Linear categories

An R-linear category is a category in which X ⟶ Y is an R-module in such a way that composition of morphisms is R-linear in both variables.

Note that sometimes in the literature a "linear category" is further required to be abelian.

Implementation

Corresponding to the fact that we need to have an AddCommGroup X structure in place to talk about a Module R X structure, we need Preadditive C as a prerequisite typeclass for Linear R C. This makes for longer signatures than would be ideal.

Future work

It would be nice to have a usable framework of enriched categories in which this just became a category enriched in Module R.

class CategoryTheory.Linear (R : Type w) [Semiring R] (C : Type u) [CategoryTheory.Category.{v, u} C] [CategoryTheory.Preadditive C] : Type (max (max u v) w)

A category is called R-linear if P ⟶ Q is an R-module such that composition is R-linear in both variables.

• homModule (X Y : C) : Module R (X ⟶ Y)
• smul_comp (X Y Z : C) (r : R) (f : X ⟶ Y) (g : Y ⟶ Z) : CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp (r • f) g = r • CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp f g

  compatibility of the scalar multiplication with the post-composition

• comp_smul (X Y Z : C) (f : X ⟶ Y) (r : R) (g : Y ⟶ Z) : CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp f (r • g) = r • CategoryTheory.CategoryStruct.comp f g

  compatibility of the scalar multiplication with the pre-composition
