This document provides an overview of representation theory of monoidal categories, also known as cell theory for monoidal categories. It begins with an introduction motivating the generalization of representation theory from groups to monoids and monoidal categories. It then discusses examples of finitary and fiat monoidal categories, including representation categories of finite groups and diagram categories. The document concludes with an introduction to cells in monoidal categories, which are equivalence classes that measure information loss.
