\section{Rigs} \subsection{definition} \subsection{augmentated rigs} For our purpose of applying rieg theory to enumerative combinatorics, it is natural to consider homomorphism from a ri(e)g to $\N$. We call such a structure, augmentation. \memo{It's conventional in ring theory} \begin{definition} For a rig $R$, an ($\N$-)augmentation of $R$ is a rig homomorphism $R\to \N$. \end{definition}
