category_theory.linear.linear_functor

Linear Functors #

An additive functor between two R-linear categories is called linear if the induced map on hom types is a morphism of R-modules.

Implementation details #

functor.linear is a Prop-valued class, defined by saying that for every two objects X and Y, the map F.map : (X ⟶ Y) → (F.obj X ⟶ F.obj Y) is a morphism of R-modules.
