... A k -module E can be considered as a functor of k modules over the category of commutative k -algebras, which we will denote by E, by defining E(B ) := E k B . If F and G are functors of k -modules, we will denote by Homk (F, H ) the functor of k -modules Homk (F, H )(B ) := HomB (F|B , H|B ) where F|B is the functor F restricted to the category of commutative B -algebras. ...
