Tensoring is exact in a rigid abelian category #

Deligne's 1.14 (Catégories tensorielles): in a rigid category the functor − ⊗ X has − ⊗ Xᘁ as a two-sided adjoint, so over an abelian base it preserves all finite limits and colimits — it is exact. The consequences collected here: tensoring preserves monomorphisms, epimorphisms, and zero objects, and a tensor power of a nonzero object detects nothing (X ^ ⊗ n = 0 forces X = 0, Deligne 1.17).

Right tensoring preserves all colimits: − ⊗ X is a left adjoint (Frobenius reciprocity, with adjoint − ⊗ Xᘁ).
