Category admitting tensor products
In mathematics, a monoidal category (or tensor category) is a category C {\displaystyle \mathbf {C} } equipped with a bifunctor ⊗ : C × C → C {\displaystyle \otimes :\mathbf {C} \times \mathbf {C} \to \mathbf {C} } that is associative up to a natural isomorphism, and an object I {\displaystyle I} that is both a left and right identity for ⊗ {\displaystyle \otimes } , again up to a natural isomorphism. The associated natural isomorphisms are subject to certain coherence conditions, which ensure that all the relevant diagrams commute. The ordinary tensor product makes vector spaces, abelian groups, R-modules, or R-algebras into monoidal categories. Monoidal categories can be seen as a generalization...
