TauCeti.CategoryTheory.Monoidal.Preadditive

Integer multiples and the tensor product in a monoidal preadditive category #

In a monoidal preadditive category the whiskerings are additive, so they commute with integer multiples of morphisms (Mathlib's Functor.map_zsmul for tensorLeft and tensorRight); hence so does the tensor product of morphisms in each variable. Mathlib's CategoryTheory.MonoidalPreadditive records the additivity (and CategoryTheory.MonoidalLinear the compatibility with scalars of a chosen ring), but not the ℤ-multiples every preadditive category carries. These are the signs of the simplicial boundary and of the Koszul rule, which have to be moved through tensor products of morphisms.

Tensoring morphisms commutes with integer scalar multiplication in the first variable.
