abstract

The balanced tensor product M (x)_A N of two modules over an algebra A is the vector space corepresenting A-balanced bilinear maps out of the product M x N. The balanced tensor product M [x]_C N of two module categories over a monoidal linear category C is the linear category corepresenting C-balanced right-exact bilinear functors out of the product category M x N. We show that the balanced tensor product can be realized as a category of bimodule objects in C, provided the monoidal linear category is finite and rigid.

    A coherent dual of an object lifts to a coherent dual of a bimodule over Frobenius algebras; zigzag 2-isos need special Frobenius sections, and special Frobenius algebras in 2Vect are rigid.
