Graded category

Graded category

A graded category is a mathematical concept.

If mathcal{A} is a category, then amathcal{A}-graded categoryis a category mathcal{C} together with a functorF:mathcal{C} ightarrow mathcal{A}.

Monoids and groups can be thought of categories with a single element. A monoid-graded or group-graded category is therefore one in which to each morphism is attached an element of a given monoid (resp. group), its grade. This must be compatible with composition, in the sense that compositions have the product grade.
