Linear categories #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
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 add_comm_group 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
.
- hom_module : (Π (X Y : C), module R (X ⟶ Y)) . "apply_instance"
- smul_comp' : (∀ (X Y Z : C) (r : R) (f : X ⟶ Y) (g : Y ⟶ Z), (r • f) ≫ g = r • f ≫ g) . "obviously"
- comp_smul' : (∀ (X Y Z : C) (f : X ⟶ Y) (r : R) (g : Y ⟶ Z), f ≫ (r • g) = r • f ≫ g) . "obviously"
A category is called R
-linear if P ⟶ Q
is an R
-module such that composition is
R
-linear in both variables.

Composition by a fixed left argument as an R
-linear map.
Composition by a fixed right argument as an R
-linear map.
Given isomorphic objects X ≅ Y, W ≅ Z
in a k
-linear category, we have a k
-linear
isomorphism between Hom(X, W)
and Hom(Y, Z).
