Abstract

In this expository note, we give a self-contained presentation of the equivalence between the opposite category of commutative monoids and that of commutative, monoid \(\Bbbk \)-schemes that are diagonalizable, for any field \(\Bbbk \).

Notes

  1. The term monoid \(\Bbbk \)-scheme is also used in the literature for a different, but related, concept (cf. [6]).

  2. If X is not commutative, then \(V^*\) is a linear representation of the opposite monoid \(X^{op}\), or a linear representation on the right of the monoid X.
