Categories graded by group homomorphisms

Category Theory 2026-02-06 v1

Abstract

We generalise to a group homomorphism τ\tau the χ\chi-graded categories of S\"{o}zer and Virelizier. These are categories in which both morphisms and objects have compatible degrees. We give a 'half-enriched' Yoneda lemma, a structure theorem for semisimple τ\tau-graded categories, and an alternative picture of τ\tau-graded categories in terms of pseudofunctors into Cat\mathbf{Cat}.
