Summary

In this section we take a close look at localization of categories. Let K be an abstract category (i.e. without any extra structure), and let S ⊆ K be a multiplicatively closed set of morphisms. The localization of K w.r.t. S is a category KS equipped with a functor Q : K → KS, such that the morphisms in Q(S) are invertible and the functor Q is universal for this property. We give a detailed proof of the fundamental theorem on localization: Q is an Ore localization iff S is a denominator set.We then prove that the localization KS of a linear category K at a denominator set S is a linear category too, and the localization functor Q : K → KS is linear.
