Entwined modules over linear categories and Galois extensions

Abstract: In this paper, we study modules over quotient spaces of certain categorified fiber bundles. These are understood as modules over entwining structures involving a small $K$-linear category $\mathcal D$ and a $K$-coalgebra $C$. We obtain Frobenius and separability conditions for functors on entwined modules. We also introduce the notion of a $C$-Galois extension $\mathcal E\subseteq \mathcal D$ of categories. Under suitable conditions, we show that entwined modules over a $C$-Galois extension may be described as modules over the subcategory $\mathcal E$ of $C$-coinvariants of $\mathcal D$.
