PROPs for involutive monoids and involutive bimonoids

Daniel Graves

The category of involutive non-commutative sets encodes the structure of an involution compatible with a (co)associative (co)multiplication. We prove that the category of involutive bimonoids in a symmetric monoidal category is equivalent to the category of algebras over a PROP constructed from the category of involutive non-commutative sets.

Keywords: involutive non-commutative sets, bimonoid, bialgebras, PROP, symmetric monoidal categories
