Interacting Hopf Algebras

Filippo Bonchi, Pawel Sobocinski, Fabio Zanasi

Abstract

We introduce the theory IH of interacting Hopf algebras, parametrised over a principal ideal domain R. The axioms of IH are derived using Lack's approach to composing PROPs: they feature two Hopf algebra and two Frobenius algebra structures on four different monoid-comonoid pairs. This construction is instrumental in showing that IH is isomorphic to the PROP of linear relations (i.e. subspaces) over the field of fractions of R.

    • I am guessing these diagrams are taken from Electrical Engineering and not Quantum Physics. The blog looks like an expansion of their paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.7048v3 Yes! That's where I have seen these diagrams before. They are Hopf algebras, which appear both in…
