PRO (category theory)
In
category theory, a PRO is a strict
monoidal category whose objects are the natural integers and whose tensor product is given on objects by the addition on integers. By an integer , we mean here the set .Some examples of PROs:the discrete category of integers,the category FinSet of integers and functions between them,the category Bij of integers and bijections,the category Inj of integers and injections,the
simplicial category of integers and monotonic functions.PROBs (resp. PROPs) are defined similarly with the additional requirement for the category to be
braided (resp. to have a
symmetry).
