R-category definition edit

An  -category   is a \htmladdnormallink{category {http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Cod.html} 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 Failed to parse (unknown function "\lra"): {\displaystyle A(b,c) \times A(c,d) \lra A(b,d)} is  --bilinear, or is a morphism of  -modules Failed to parse (unknown function "\lra"): {\displaystyle A(b,c) \otimes_R A(c,d) \lra A(b,d)} .
