R-category definition

An $R$ -category $A$ is a \htmladdnormallink{category {http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Cod.html} equipped with an $R$ -module structure on each hom set such that the composition is $R$ -bilinear}. More precisely, let us assume for instance that we are given a commutative ring $R$ with identity. Then a small $R$ -category--or equivalently an $R$ -algebroid -- will be defined as a category enriched in the monoidal category of $R$ -modules, with respect to the monoidal structure of tensor product. This means simply that for all objects $b,c$ of $A$ , the set $A(b,c)$ is given the structure of an $R$ -module, and composition Failed to parse (unknown function "\lra"): {\displaystyle A(b,c) \times A(c,d) \lra A(b,d)} is $R$ --bilinear, or is a morphism of $R$ -modules Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "http://localhost:6011/en.wikiversity.org/v1/":): {\displaystyle A(b,c) \otimes_R A(c,d) \lra A(b,d)} .
