Sorry!

Actually Urs is asking about an even more general situation.
A is a monoidal category, C is a category tensored over A,
T: C -> C, and we seek objects c in C equipped with isomorphisms
Tc -> a tensor c for some fixed object a.

We can form the category of these, which is the pseudo-equalizer
of T and a tensor -, and call it an "eigenspace of T".

For Urs, A = Vect and C is a Vect-module.

Best,
