Such categories are called "Ann - categories". We obtain the classification theorems for regular Ann - categories and Ann - functors by using Mac Lane - Shukla cohomology of rings. These results give new interpretations of the cohomology groups and of the rings14 pagerCategory Theory18D10 (Primary); 16E40 (Secondary)Structure of Ann-categories and Mac Lane - Shukla cohomologytext
