Abstract
In this paper, we study rewriting modulo a set of algebraic axioms in categories enriched in linear categories, called linear~-categories. We introduce the structure of linear~-polygraph modulo as a presentation of a linear~-category by a rewriting system modulo algebraic axioms. We introduce a symbolic computation method in order to compute linear bases for the vector spaces of -cells of these categories. In particular, we study the case of pivotal -categories using the isotopy relations given by biadjunctions on -cells and cyclicity conditions on -cells as axioms for which we rewrite modulo. By this constructive method, we recover the bases of normally ordered dotted oriented Brauer diagrams in te affine oriented Brauer linear~-category.
