Abstract
In a previous work on quadratic algebras (Pirashvili in Glas Math J 61: 151–167, 2018), I constructed an internal category in the category of monoids, recalled in Sect. 3.2.1. Based on this, we introduce the notion of a crossed semi-bimodule in this paper. This new construction generalises the notion of a crossed semi-module, introduced independently by R. Street and A. Patchkoria, see Joyal (Macquarie Math Reports 860081, 1986) and Patchkoria (Georg Math J 5: 575–581, 1986) respectively. We also show that there is a one to one correspondence between crossed semi-bimodules and strict monoidal category structures on transformation categories satisfying the cc-condition, see Sects. 4 and 5.
期刊介绍:
Applied Categorical Structures focuses on applications of results, techniques and ideas from category theory to mathematics, physics and computer science. These include the study of topological and algebraic categories, representation theory, algebraic geometry, homological and homotopical algebra, derived and triangulated categories, categorification of (geometric) invariants, categorical investigations in mathematical physics, higher category theory and applications, categorical investigations in functional analysis, in continuous order theory and in theoretical computer science. In addition, the journal also follows the development of emerging fields in which the application of categorical methods proves to be relevant.
Applied Categorical Structures publishes both carefully refereed research papers and survey papers. It promotes communication and increases the dissemination of new results and ideas among mathematicians and computer scientists who use categorical methods in their research.
