Tensor product of A$_{\infty}$-categories

Algebraic Geometry 2026-01-21 v1 Category Theory

Abstract

In this paper we define the tensor product of two A_{\infty}-categories and two A_{\infty}-functors. This tensor product makes the category of A_{\infty}-categories symmetric monoidal (up to homotopy), and the category A_{\infty}Catu^u/_{\approx} a closed symmetric monoidal category. Moreover, we define the derived tensor product making Ho(A_{\infty}Cat), the homotopy category of the A_{\infty}-categories, a closed symmetric monoidal category. We provide also an explicit description of the internal homs in terms of A_{\infty}- functors.
