Abelian envelopes of monoidal categories (English)
[ Abstract ]
For the purposes of this talk, a ‘tensor category’ is an abelian rigid monoidal category, linear over some field. I will try to argue that there are good reasons (inspired by classification attempts of tensor categories, by motives, by Frobenius twists on tensor categories and by the idea of universal tensor categories), to try to associate tensor categories to non-abelian rigid monoidal categories. Then I will comment on some of the recent progress made on such constructions (in work of Benson, Comes, Entova, Etingof, Heidersdof, Hinich, Ostrik, Serganova and myself).
