Abstract bivariant Cuntz semigroups II

Abstract

AbstractWe previously showed that abstract Cuntz semigroups form a closed symmetric monoidal category. This automatically provides additional structure in the category, such as a composition and an external tensor product, for which we give concrete constructions in order to be used in applications. We further analyze the structure of not necessarily commutative {\mathrm{Cu}}-semirings, and we obtain, under mild conditions, a new characterization of solid {\mathrm{Cu}}-semirings R by the condition that {R\cong\llbracket R,R\rrbracket}.
