R-category
Definition 0.1.
An -category is a category equipped with an -module structure on each hom set such that the composition is -bilinear. More precisely, let us assume for instance that we are given a commutative ring with identity
. Then a small -category–or equivalently an -algebroid– will be defined as a category enriched in the monoidal category of -modules, with respect to the monoidal structure of tensor product
. This means simply that for all objects of , the set is given the structure of an -module, and composition is –bilinear, or is a morphism of -modules.
