category of Hilbert spaces (Definition)
Definition 0.1   The category $\mathcal{H}ilb_f$ of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaceshttp://physicslibrary.org/encyclopedia/NormInducedByInnerProduct.html is defined as the category whose objects are all finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}_f$, and whose morphisms are linear maps between $\mathcal{H}_f$ spaces. The isomorphisms in $\mathcal{H}ilb_f$ are all isometric isomorphisms.

Furthermore, one also has the following, general definition for any Hilbert space.

Definition 0.2   The category $\mathcal{H}ilb$ of Hilbert spaces is defined as the category whose objects are all Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}$, and whose morphisms are linear maps between $\mathcal{H}$ spaces. The isomorphisms in $\mathcal{H}ilb$ are all isometric isomorphisms.
Remark 0.1  

The category of $\mathcal{H}ilb$ Hilbert spaces has direct sums and is a Cartesian category.
