Preferred term

monoidal category  

Definition(s)

  • In mathematics, a monoidal category (or tensor category) is a category equipped with a bifunctor
    that is associative up to a natural isomorphism, and an object I that is both a left and right identity for ⊗, again up to a natural isomorphism. The associated natural isomorphisms are subject to certain coherence conditions, which ensure that all the relevant diagrams commute.
