• Compatibility with the right unit constraint:<br />

r F (U)<br />

F (U) ⊗ I D F (U)<br />

<br />

id F (U) ⊗ϕ 0<br />

<br />

F (r U )<br />

F (U) ⊗ F (I C )<br />

ϕ 2 (U,I C )<br />

F (U ⊗ I C )<br />

2. A tensor functor is called strict, , if ϕ 0 and ϕ 2 are identities in D. In general, the isomorphism<br />

and the natural isomorphism is additional structure.<br />

3. A monoidal natural transformation<br />

η : (F, ϕ 0 , ϕ 2 ) → (F ′ , ϕ ′ 0, ϕ ′ 2)<br />

between tensor functors is a natural transformation η : F → F ′ such that the diagram<br />

involving the tensor unit<br />

F (I C )<br />

<br />

ϕ 0<br />

<br />

I η D <br />

I<br />

<br />

and for all pairs (U, V ) of objects the diagram<br />

ϕ ′ 0<br />

<br />

F ′ (I C )<br />

F (U) ⊗ F (V )<br />

ϕ 2 (U,V )<br />

F (U ⊗ V )<br />

η U ⊗η V<br />

<br />

F ′ (U) ⊗ F ′ (V )<br />

η U⊗V<br />

<br />

ϕ ′ 2 (U,V ) F ′ (U ⊗ V )<br />

commute.<br />

4. One then defines monoidal natural isomorphisms as invertible monoidal natural transformations.<br />

An equivalence of tensor categories C,D is given by a pair of tensor functors<br />

F : C → D and F : D → C and natural monoidal isomorphisms<br />

η : id D → F G and θ : GF → id C .<br />

We can now characterize algebras whose representation categories are monoidal categories.<br />

Proposition 2.4.7.<br />

Let (A, μ) be a unital associative algebra. Suppose we are given unital algebra maps<br />

Δ : A → A ⊗ A and ɛ : A → K .<br />

Use the pullback along ɛ to endow the ground field K with the structure of an A-module (K, ɛ),<br />

i.e. a.λ := ɛ(a) ∙ λ for a ∈ A and λ ∈ K. Let<br />

⊗ : A−mod × A−mod → A−mod<br />
