Structure of Ann-categories

Abstract: Each Ann-category

A

is equivalent to an Ann-category of the type

(R, M),

where

M

is an

R

-bimodule. The family of constraints of

A

induces a {it structure} on

(R, M) .

The main result of the paper is: 1. {it There exists a bijection between the set of structures on

(R, M)

and the group of Mac Lane 3-cocycles

Z_{M a L}^{3} (R, M) .

} 2. {it There exists a bijection between

C (R, M)

of congruence classes of Ann-categories whose pre-stick is of the type

(R, M)

and the Mac Lane cohomology group

H_{e x t r m M a L}^{3} (R, M) .
