Abstract:
We use a definition of tensor products of functors to generalize some theorems of homological algebra. We show that adjoint pairs of functors between additive functor categories correspond to bifunctors and that composition of such adjoint pairs corresponds to the tensor product of the bifunctors. We also generalize some homological characterizations of finitely generated projective modules to characterizations of small projectives in a functor category. We apply our results to adjoint pairs arising from satellites and from a functor on the domain categories.References
