| We study polynomial functors of degree 2, called quadratic, with values in the category of abelian groups Ab, and whose source category is an arbitrary category T with null object such that all objects are finite coproducts of a generating object E. A functorial equivalence is established between quadratic functors F from T to Ab and certain minimal algebraic data which we call quadratic T-modules: these involve the values on E of the cross-effects of F and certin structure maps generalizing the second Hopf invariant and the Withehead product. Applying this general result to the case where E is a cogroup these data take a particulary simple form. This application extends results of Baues and Pirashvili obtained for T being the category of free groups or modules of finite rank; here quadratic T-modules are equivalent with square groups or quadratic R-modules, respectively. |
