In an additive category A0, objects are said to be determined by their rings of endomorphisms if for each ring-isomorphism F of the rings of endomorphisms of two objects A, B in A0 there is an isomorphism f: AB in A0 such that F(α) = fαf-1, for every endomorphism α of A. Considering.this problem in the context of closed categories (in Eilenberg and Kelly's sense), the author proves a general theorem which generalises results of Eidelheit (for real Banach spaces) and of Kasahara (for real locally convex spaces).
