Let us fix a monoidal category M with unit object 1. We define a closed (resp., open) idempotent in M as a morphism 1 π −→ e (resp., e π −→ 1) in M which becomes an isomorphism after tensoring with e either on the left or on the right. This definition is motivated by the following example: if M is the category of sheaves of complex vector spaces on a topological space X with the usual tensor product, and ξ : Y ↪→ X is the inclusion of a closed (resp., open) subspace, then the natural arrow CX −→ ξ!CY (resp., ξ!CY −→ CX), obtained by adjunction from the natural isomorphism CX ∣∣ Y ∼= CY , is a closed (resp., open) idempotent in the category M. The definition of a locally closed idempotent, modelling the sheaf ξ!CY in the case where ξ is the inclusion of a locally closed subspace, can be obtained as a mixture of the first two definitions; it is studied in some detail in Section 5.
