Simple functors of admissible linear categories (Q287513)

Let \(R\) be a commutative ring with 1. Given an \(R\)-linear category \({\mathcal L}, \) the authors define an \({\mathcal L}\)-functor to be a functor from \({\mathcal L}\) to the category of \(R\)-modules. In the case where \({\mathcal L}\) is admissible, they establish a bijective correspondence between the isomorphism classes of simple functors and the equivalence classes of pairs \((G,V)\) where \(G\) is an object and \(V\) is a module of a certain quotient of the endomorphism algebra of \(G.\) Here, two pairs \((F,U)\) and \((G,V)\) are equivalent when there is an isomorphism \(G \to F\) effecting transport to \(U\) from \(V.\) They apply this to the category of finite abelian \(p\)-groups and to a class of subcategories of the biset category.
