Category theorists will often think of the ring R and the category R as two different representations of the same thing, so that a particularly perverse category theorist might define a ring as a preadditive category with exactly one object.
That is, if f: A → B is a morphism in a preadditive category, then the kernel of f is the equaliser of f and the zero morphism from A to B, while the cokernel of f is the coequaliser of f and this zero morphism.
When specializing to the preadditive categories of abelian groups or modules over a ring, this notion of kernel coincides with the ordinary notion of kernel of a homomorphism, if one identifies the ordinary kernel K of f: A → B with its embedding K → A.

 Additive category: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Additive category
Ab is preadditive because it is a closed monoidal category[?], and the biproduct in Ab is the finite direct sum.
Every additive category is of course a preadditive category, and many basic properties of these categories are described under that subject.
In fact, it is a theorem that all adjoint functors between additive categories must be additive functors, and most interesting functors studied in all of category theory are adjoints.

Ab is preadditive because it is a closed monoidal category, the biproduct in Ab is the finite direct sum, the kernel is inclusion of the ordinary kernel from group theory and the cokernel is the quotient map onto the ordinary cokernel from group theory.
Every pre-Abelian category is of course an additive category, and many basic properties of these categories are described under that subject.

Has anyone proved that if you take an "algebra" (actually monoid) object in a monoidal biclosed category that has equalizers and coequalizers, then the category of two-sided modules for that algebra is again a monoidal biclosed category.
In response to Michael Barr's question: Theorem: If V is a closed braided monoidal category which is complete and cocomplete then the bicategory V-Mod of V-categories, V-modules (sometimes called V-bimodules, V-distributors or V-profunctors), and V-module morphisms is a monoidal bicategory (meaning the hom of a tricategory with one object).
I didn't include the older fact well known to enriched category theorists: even without any symmetry or braiding, V-Mod is a bicategory in which all right extensions and right liftings exist (I don't like the word "biclosed"; I use "left closed", "right closed" and "closed" for both when dealing with a monoidal category).

 CAKES TALK
In the second part of the talk I will discuss the definitions of linear function space, tensor and shriek games aiming for a symmetric monoidal closed category of innocent strategies with a !-comonad so that the associated co-Kleisli category is precisely CA.
The original presentation of a symmetric monoidal closed category of innocent strategies did not allow for a !-comonad.
In his thesis, Guy McCusker presented two ways of overcoming this difficulty to arrive at the cartesian closed category CA of arenas and innocent strategies which gives rise to a fully abstract model of PCF.

 Symmetric spectra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The stable homotopy category of spectra, much studied by algebraic topologists, is a closed symmetric monoidal category (or a category with a tensor product).
For many years, however, there has been no well-behaved closed symmetric monoidal category of spectra whose homotopy category is the stable homotopy category.
In this paper, we present such a category of spectra: the category of symmetric spectra.

It seems that there are many cases in which this third category is of interest in itself, whether or not one of the two given categories is or is not monadic or comonadic over the other.
This remark was essentially intended to supply semantically-based examples of closed categories which have one aspect which is linear (in the straightforward sense that coproducts equal products) and an opposite aspect which is cartesian (in the sense that the tensor is the categorical product).
Rather, within the category whose objects are continuous maps, consider the subcategory wherein the domains of these structural maps are discrete (or zero-dimensional, if that is different in the model of continuity being considered).

 Pre-Abelian category : Pre-abelian category
A pre-Abelian category is an additive category that has all kernels and cokernels[?].
Note that thisn'tion of image may not correspond to the usual notion of image, or range, of a function, even assuming that the morphisms in the category are functions.
Thus, the parallel is the inclusion of the range into its closure, which isn't an isomorphism unless the range was already closed.

 Linear Logic and Typed Lambda-Calculus Workshop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
To support these new definitions, we prove that every symmetric premonoidal category embeds fully into a closed symmetric premonoidal category, and we characterize closed symmetric premonoidal categories in terms of strong monads on the base cartesian category.
We also show that this structure is category theoretically natural, being given by the category of algebras for a monad on a mild variant of Cat.
Finally, we show that to give a symmetric premonoidal category is equivalent to giving a fibration with specified structure; and that extra structure on a premonoidal closed category, such as that used to model continuations, transfers elegantly to corresponding structure on the fibration.

 First Order Linear Logic in Symmetric Monoidal Closed Categories
That is, the terms of the logic are given by a linear tyoe theory LTT corresponding to the algebraic idea of a symmetric monoidal closed category.
The study of logic in such categories is motivated by two examples which are derived as linear analogues of presheaf topoi and Heyting valued sets respectively.
A monoidal factorisation system then gives rise to a structure preserving fibration between symmetric monoidal closed categories, which we term a linear doctrine.

The category of sets is closed monoidal, but so is the category of vector spaces, giving the notion of bilinear transformation above.

For a symmetric monoidal-closed category V and a suitable monad T on the category of sets, we introduce the notion of reflexive and transitive (T,V)-algebra and show that various old and new structures are instances of such algebras.
Lawvere's presentation of a metric space as a V-category is included in our setting, via the Betti-Carboni-Street-Walters interpretation of a V-category as a monad in the bicategory of V-matrices, and so are Barr's presentation of topological spaces as lax algebras, Lowen's approach spaces, and Lambek's multicategories, which enjoy renewed interest in the study of n-categories.
As a further example, we introduce a new structure called ultracategory which simultaneously generalizes the notions of topological space and of category.

We prove full completeness for a fragment of the linear logic of the self-dual monoidal category of Chu spaces over 2, namely that the proofs between semisimple (conjunctive normal form) formulas of multiplicative linear logic without constants having two occurrences of each variable are in bijection with the dinatural transformations between the corresponding functors.
The category Chu is concretely universal for much of concrete mathematics; in particular it concretely represents or realizes all categories of relational structures and their homomorphisms, as well as all topological such.

Triangulations, categories and extended topological field theories, by R. Lawrence, to appear in Quantum Topology, eds L. Kauffman and R. Baadtrio, World Scientific, Singapore, 1993.
Since the 3-dimensional case required the development of new branches of algebra (namely, quantum groups and braided tensor categories), it seems that the higher-dimensional cases will require still further "higher-dimensional algebra." One approach, which is still being born, involves the use of "n-categories," which are generalizations of braided tensor categories suited for higher- dimensional physics.
Briefly speaking, Gordon-Power-Street use a category they call "Gray," the category of all 2-categories, made into a symmetric monoidal closed category using a modified version of Gray's tensor product.

One of the main motivations for defining a closed symmetric monoidal category of spectra is to study the associated categories of ring, algebra and module spectra.
For all of the standard tools of homotopy theory to apply, Quillen model category structures must be constructed on these associated categories.
