Structure of Ann-Categories

Category Theory 2013-09-17 v2

Abstract

This paper presents the structure conversion by which from an Ann-category \A,\A, we can obtain its reduced Ann-category of the type (R,M)(R,M) whose structure is a family of five functions k=(ξ,η,α,λ,ρ)k=(\xi,\eta,\alpha,\lambda,\rho). Then we will show that each Ann-category is determined by three invariants: 1. The ring Π0(\A)\Pi_0(\A) of the isomorphic classes of objects of \A\A, 2. Π0(\A)\Pi_0(\A)-bimodule Π1(\A)=\Aut\A(0),\Pi_1(\A) = \Aut_{\A}(0), 3. The element kˉHM3(Π0(\A),Π1(\A)) \bar{k}\in H^{3}_{M}(\Pi_0(\A), \Pi_1(\A)) (the ring cohomology due to MacLane).
