Multiplication by an integer in a preadditive category #
In a preadditive category, multiplication by an integer n on an object X is the
morphism n • 𝟙 X, which is also the image of n in the endomorphism ring End X
(CategoryTheory.End.intCast_asHom, CategoryTheory.End.natCast_asHom). It commutes with every
morphism (CategoryTheory.End.intCast_asHom_comp, CategoryTheory.End.natCast_asHom_comp).
The inverse of a scalar multiple r • 𝟙 and its preservation by linear functors are in
TauCeti.CategoryTheory.Linear.Endomorphism.
The integer n in the endomorphism ring of X is multiplication by n, the morphism
n • 𝟙 X.
The natural number n in the endomorphism ring of X is multiplication by n, the morphism
n • 𝟙 X.
Multiplication by an integer n commutes with every morphism.
Multiplication by an integer n commutes with every morphism.
Multiplication by a natural number n commutes with every morphism.
Multiplication by a natural number n commutes with every morphism.
