The free–forgetful adjunction for module objects #

The free module freeMod A X on an object X of a monoidal category D carries A ⊗ X with the action obtained by multiplying on the left factor. Maps of A-modules out of it are the same thing as maps out of X in D: the bijection sends a module map to its restriction along the unit (λ_ X).inv ≫ η[A] ▷ X and a bare map g to its extension A ◁ g ≫ actLeft A M.X.

All the intermediate statements are phrased in the ambient language of A ⊗ X and a bare action morphism, and are transported into the category of module objects by definitional unfolding.

The free–forgetful adjunction bijection for module objects: module maps out of the free module on X are maps out of X, by restriction along the unit.

    A map out of a free module vanishes exactly when its restriction along the unit does. This replaces the linearity of the adjunction bijection, which is unavailable because the hom-sets of Mod D A carry no additive structure.

    Generation by a finite family of free modules: a module map out of N vanishes as soon as its restrictions along the units of a family of free modules whose retracts sum to the identity of N all vanish.
