Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | First 5 Authors: Mikhail Kapranov, Vadim Schechtman, , , | Summary: Algebraic structures involving both multiplications and comultiplications (such as, e.g., bialgebras or Hopf algebras) can be encoded using PROPs (categories with PROducts and Permutations) of Adams and MacLane. To encode such structures on objects of a braided monoidal category, […]
