null (Ed.)Abstract For each integer $$t$$ a tensor category $$\mathcal{V}_t$$ is constructed, such that exact tensor functors $$\mathcal{V}_t\rightarrow \mathcal{C}$$ classify dualizable $$t$$-dimensional objects in $$\mathcal{C}$$ not annihilated by any Schur functor. This means that $$\mathcal{V}_t$$ is the “abelian envelope” of the Deligne category $$\mathcal{D}_t=\operatorname{Rep}(GL_t)$$. Any tensor functor $$\operatorname{Rep}(GL_t)\longrightarrow \mathcal{C}$$ is proved to factor either through $$\mathcal{V}_t$$ or through one of the classical categories $$\operatorname{Rep}(GL(m|n))$$ with $m-n=t$. The universal property of $$\mathcal{V}_t$$ implies that it is equivalent to the categories $$\operatorname{Rep}_{\mathcal{D}_{t_1}\otimes \mathcal{D}_{t_2}}(GL(X),\epsilon )$$, ($$t=t_1+t_2$$, $$t_1$$ not an integer) suggested by Deligne as candidates for the role of abelian envelope.more » « less
