Definition

A pre-additive category is an Ab-enriched category with a zero object.

Pre-additive categories are part of a sequence of additive and abelian categories.

Terminology

The term ‘pre-additive category’ is often used for any AbAb-enriched category, for example in section 8 of Kashiwara–Schapira Categories and Sheaves, in Weibel’s An introduction to homological algebra and Popescu’s Abelian categories with applications to rings and modules.
