Separable categories

From MaRDI portal





This paper develops the extension of ring theory to the theory of small additive categories (here called ringoids). Monoid rings are generalized to free additive categories \({\mathbb{Z}}C\) on categories C. The question of separability of \({\mathbb{Z}}C\) is characterized in terms of C. This allows the author to prove a conjecture of \textit{B. Mitchell} [Separable algebroids, Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 333 (1985)] that, for such a C, the category of \({\mathbb{Z}}C\)-modules is equivalent to the product of copies of the category of abelian groups.
