Subject: Dual of a monoidal closed category
Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:19:19 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1OvDmQ-0000Gk-MG@mlist.mta.ca> (raw)

Is it common knowledge that the dual of a monoidal closed category is also
monoidal closed (at least in the symmetric case, but I don't think that
matters).  If you denote tensor by @ and hom by --o, then define a dual
hom by A --x B = (A* --o B*)* and a dual tensor by A # B = (A* @ B*)*
where * is the contravariant equivalence.  The proof that this works is
trivial.  What it means is another matter entirely.  Right now, I just
would like to know if this is commonly known.

Michael
