Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories Craig Pastro and Ross Street

We develop the theory of weak bimonoids in braided monoidal categories and show that they are in one-to-one correspondence with quantum categories with a separable Frobenius object-of-objects. Weak Hopf monoids are shown to be quantum groupoids. Each separable Frobenius R leads to a weak Hopf monoid R ⊗ R.

Introduction

Weak Hopf algebras, introduced by Bohm,¨ Nill, and Szlachanyi´ in the papers [Bohm¨ and Szlachonyi´ 1996; Nill 1998; Szlachanyi´ 1997; Bohm¨ et al. 1999], are generalizations of Hopf algebras and were proposed as an alternative to weak quasi- Hopf algebras. A weak bialgebra is both an and a coassociative , but instead of requiring that the and unit morphism are

149 150 Craig Pastro and Ross Street coalgebra morphisms (or equivalently that the comultiplication and the counit are algebra morphisms), other “weakened” axioms are imposed. The multiplication is still required to be comultiplicative (equivalently, the comultiplication is still required to be multiplicative), but the counit is no longer required to be an algebra morphism and the unit is no longer required to be a coalgebra morphism. Instead, these requirements are replaced by weakened versions (see Equations (v) and (w) below). As the name suggests, any bialgebra satisfies these weakened axioms and is therefore a weak bialgebra. For a given a weak bialgebra A, one may define source and target morphisms s, t : A → A whose images s(A) and t(A) are called the source and target (counital) subalgebras. Nill [1998] has shown that Hayashi’s face algebras [1998] are special cases of weak bialgebras for which the, say, target subalgebra is commutative. A weak Hopf algebra is a weak bialgebra H that is equipped with an antipode ν : H → H satisfying the axioms1

µ(ν ⊗ 1)δ = t, µ(1 ⊗ ν)δ = s, and µ3(ν ⊗ 1 ⊗ ν)δ3 = ν, where µ3 = µ(µ ⊗ 1) and δ3 = (δ ⊗ 1)δ. Again, any Hopf algebra satisfies these weakened axioms and so is a weak Hopf algebra. Nill [1998] has also shown that the (finite-dimensional) generalized Kac algebras of Yamanouchi [1994] are examples of weak Hopf algebras with involutive antipode. Weak Hopf algebras have also been called “quantum groupoids” [Nikshych and Vainerman 2002], but in this paper this is not what we mean by quantum groupoid. Perhaps the simplest examples of weak bialgebras and weak Hopf algebras are category algebras and groupoid algebras, respectively. Suppose that k is a field, and let Ꮿ be a category with set of objects Ꮿ0 and set of morphisms Ꮿ1. The category algebra k[Ꮿ] is the k[Ꮿ1] over k with basis Ꮿ1. Elements are formal linear combinations of the elements of Ꮿ1 with coefficients in k, that is,

α f + βg + · · · with α, β ∈ k and f, g ∈ Ꮿ1. An associative multiplication on k[Ꮿ] is defined by g ◦ f if g ◦ f exists, µ( f, g) = f · g = 0 otherwise and extended by linearity to k[Ꮿ]. This algebra does not have a unit unless Ꮿ0 is finite, in which case the unit is X η(1) = e = 1A,

A∈Ꮿ0

1There may be some discrepancy with what we call the source and target morphisms and what exists in the literature. This arises from our convention of taking multiplication in the groupoid algebra to be f · g = g ◦ f (whenever g ◦ f is defined). Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 151 making k[Ꮿ] into a unital algebra; all algebras (monoids) considered in this paper will be unital. A comultiplication and counit may be defined on k[Ꮿ] as δ( f ) = f ⊗ f, ( f ) = 1, making k[Ꮿ] into a coalgebra. Note that k[Ꮿ] equipped with this algebra and coal- gebra structure will not satisfy any of the following usual bialgebra axioms:

µ =  ⊗ , δη = η ⊗ η, η = 1k. The one bialgebra axiom that does hold is δµ = (µ⊗µ)(1⊗c⊗1)(δ⊗δ). Equipped with this algebra and coalgebra structure, k[Ꮿ] does, however, satisfy the axioms of a weak bialgebra. Furthermore, if Ꮿ is a groupoid, then k[Ꮿ], which is then called the groupoid algebra, is an example of a weak Hopf algebra with antipode ν : k[Ꮿ] → k[Ꮿ] defined by ν( f ) = f −1 and extended by linearity. If f : A → B ∈ Ꮿ, the source and target morphisms s, t : k[Ꮿ] → k[Ꮿ] are given by s( f ) = 1A and t( f ) = 1B, as one would expect. In this paper we define weak bialgebras and weak Hopf algebras in a braided monoidal category ᐂ, where we prefer to call them “weak bimonoids” and “weak Hopf monoids”. The only difference between our definition of a weak bimonoid in ᐂ and the one given by Bohm,¨ Nill, and Szlachanyi´ [Bohm¨ et al. 1999] is that a choice of “crossing” must be made in the axioms. Our definition is not as general as the one given by J. N. Alonso, J. M. Fernandez,´ and R. Gonzalez´ in [Alonso Alvarez´ et al. 2008a; 2008b], but, in the case that their weak Yang–Baxter operator tA,A is the braiding cA,A and their idempotent ∇A⊗A = 1A⊗A, our choices of crossings are the same. Our difference in defining weak bimonoids occurs in the choice of source and target morphisms. We have chosen s : A → A and t : A → A so that (1) the “globular” identities ts = s and st = t hold, (2) the source subcomonoid and target subcomonoid coincide (up to isomor- phism) and are denoted by C; and (3) s : A → C◦ and t : A → C are comonoid morphisms. These properties of the source and target morphisms are essential for our point L R of view of quantum categories. These are s = 5A and t = 5A in the notation 0 of [Alonso Alvarez´ et al. 2008a; 2008b] and s = s and t = s in the notation of [Schauenburg 2003], with the appropriate choice of crossings. We choose to work in the Cauchy completion ᏽᐂ of ᐂ. The category ᏽᐂ is also called the “completion under idempotents” of ᐂ or the “Karoubi envelope” of ᐂ. We do this rather than assume that idempotents split in ᐂ. Suppose A is a weak bimonoid in ᏽᐂ. In this case we find C by splitting either the source or target morphism. As in [Schauenburg 2003, Proposition 4.2], C is a separable Frobenius monoid in ᏽᐂ, meaning that (C, µ, η, δ, ) is a Frobenius monoid with µδ = 1C . 152 Craig Pastro and Ross Street

Our definition of weak Hopf monoid is the same as the one proposed in [Bohm¨ et al. 1999] for the symmetric case and as in [Alonso Alvarez´ et al. 2008a; 2008b] when restricted to the braided case. A weak bimonoid H is a weak Hopf monoid if it is equipped with an antipode ν : H → H satisfying

µ(ν ⊗ 1)δ = t, µ(1 ⊗ ν)δ = r, and µ3(ν ⊗ 1 ⊗ ν)δ3 = ν, where r = νs. This r : H → H turns out to be the “usual” source morphism, that L ´ is, 5H in the notation of [Alonso Alvarez et al. 2008a; 2008b]. Ignoring crossings r is t in the notation of [Schauenburg 2003], and our r and t correspond respectively to uL and uR in the notation of [Bohm¨ et al. 1999], wherein the morphism s does not appear. Usually, in the second axiom above, µ(1 ⊗ ν)δ = r, the right side is equal to the chosen source map s of the weak bimonoid H. The reason that this r does not work for us as a source morphism is that it does not satisfy all three requirements for the source morphism mentioned above. This choice of r allows us to show that any Frobenius monoid in ᐂ yields a weak Hopf monoid R ⊗ R with bijective antipode; see [Bohm¨ et al. 1999, example in the appendix]. There are a number of generalizations of bialgebras and Hopf algebras to their “many object” versions, for example, Sweedler’s generalized bialgebras [1974], which were later generalized by Takeuchi to ×R-bialgebras [1977]; the quantum groupoids of Lu [1996] and Xu [2001]; Schauenburg’s ×R-Hopf algebras [2000]; the bialgebroids and Hopf algebroids of Bohm¨ and Szlachanyi´ [2004]; the face algebras [Hayashi 1998] and generalized Kac algebras [Yamanouchi 1994]; and the ones of interest in this paper, the quantum categories and quantum groupoids of Day and Street [2004]. Brzezinski´ and Militaru [2002, Theorem 3.1] have shown that the quantum groupoids of Lu and Xu are equivalent to Takeuchi’s ×R-bialgebras. Schauenburg [1998] has shown that face algebras are an example of ×R-bialgebras for which R is commutative and separable. In [2003, Theorem 5.1], Schauenburg shows that weak bialgebras are also examples of ×R-bialgebras for which R is separable Frobenius (there called Frobenius-separable). Schauenburg also shows in [2003, Theorem 6.1] that a weak Hopf algebra may be characterized as a weak bialgebra H for which a certain canonical map H ⊗C H → µ(δ(η(1)), H ⊗ H) is a bijection. As a corollary he shows that the ×R-bialgebra associated to the weak Hopf algebra is actually a ×R-Hopf algebra. While bialgebras are self dual, bialgebroids are not. The dual of a bialgebroid is called a “bicoalgebroid” by Brzezinski´ and Militaru [2002] and further studied by Balint´ [2008b]. In the terminology of [Day and Street 2004], these structures are quantum categories in the monoidal category of vector spaces. According to [Day and Street 2004], a quantum category in ᐂ consists of two comonoids A and C in ᐂ, with A playing the role of the object of morphisms, and C the object-of-objects. There are source and target morphisms s, t : A → C, Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 153 a “composition” morphism µ : A ⊗C A → A, and a “unit” morphism η : C → A, all in ᐂ. These data must satisfy a number of axioms. Indeed, ordinary categories are quantum categories in the category of sets. Motivated by the duality present in ∗-autonomous categories [Barr 1995], Day and Street define a quantum groupoid to be a quantum category equipped with a generalized antipode coming from a ∗-autonomous structure. In this paper we show there is a bijection between weak bimonoids and quantum categories for which the object-of-objects is a separable Frobenius monoid. In the case that the weak bimonoid is equipped with an invertible antipode, making it a weak Hopf monoid, we show how to yield a quantum groupoid. The outline of this paper is as follows: In Section 1, we provide the definition of a weak bimonoid A in a braided monoidal category ᐂ and define the source and target morphisms. We then move to the Cauchy completion ᏽᐂ and prove the three required properties of our source and target morphisms. In this section we also prove that C, the object-of-objects of A, is a separable Frobenius monoid. In Section 2, we introduce Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories. In Section 3, we describe a monoidal structure on the categories Bicomod(C) of C-bicomodules in ᐂ, and Comod(A) of right A-comodules in ᐂ, such that the underlying functor U : Comod(A) → Bicomod(C) is strong monoidal. If H is a weak Hopf monoid, we are then able to show that the category Comod f (H), consisting of the dualizable objects of Comod(H), is left autonomous. In Section 4, we prove that any separable Frobenius monoid R in a braided monoidal category ᐂ yields an example of a weak Hopf monoid R ⊗ R with in- vertible antipode in ᐂ. In Section 5, we recall the definitions of quantum categories and of quantum groupoids, and in Section 6, we show the correspondence between weak bimonoids and quantum categories with separable Frobenius object-of-objects. In Section 6, we also show that a weak Hopf monoid with invertible antipode yields a quantum groupoid. This paper depends heavily on the string diagrams in braided monoidal cate- gories of Joyal and Street [1993], which were shown to be rigorous in [1991]. The reader unfamiliar with string diagrams may first want to read Appendix A, where we review some preliminary concepts using these diagrams. Many string proofs also appear in Appendix B.

1. Weak bimonoids

A weak bialgebra [Bohm¨ and Szlachonyi´ 1996; Nill 1998; Szlachanyi´ 1997; Bohm¨ et al. 1999] is a generalization of a bialgebra with weakened axioms. These weak- ened axioms replace the three that follow by requiring that the unit be a coalgebra 154 Craig Pastro and Ross Street morphism and the counit be an algebra morphism. With the appropriate choices of under and over crossings, the definition of a weak bialgebra carries over rather straightforwardly into braided monoidal categories, where we prefer to call it a “weak bimonoid”.

1.1. Weak bimonoids. Suppose that ᐂ = (ᐂ, ⊗, I, c) is a braided monoidal cate- gory. Definition 1.1. A weak bimonoid A = (A, µ, η, δ, ) in ᐂ is an object A ∈ ᐂ equipped with the structure of a monoid (A, µ, η) and a comonoid (A, δ, ) satis- fying the following equations. ? ??  JJ t = JJtJ (b) ?? tt  ? 99 Õ 99 ÕÕ wGG Õ = ww G = (v)

 ØÙ 9 =  ØÙ GG w  ØÙ =  ØÙ  ØÙ (w) ÕÕ 99 Gww ÕÕ  ØÙ 9  ØÙ  ØÙ  ØÙ  ØÙ Suppose A is a weak bimonoid, and define the source and target morphisms s, t : A → A of A as

s = , and t = .  ØÙ  ØÙ Notice that s : A → A is invariant under rotation by π, while t : A → A is invariant under horizontal reflection ØÙ and the inverse ØÙ braiding. Importantly, under either of these transformations • (m) and (c) are interchanged,2 • (b) is invariant, and • (v) and (w) are interchanged. Note that these are not the “usual” source and target morphisms. They were chosen, as mentioned in the introduction, precisely because we need them to satisfy the following three properties: (i) the “globular” identities ts = s and st = t hold; (ii) the source subcomonoid and target subcomonoid coincide (up to isomor- phism), and are denoted by C; (iii) s : A → C◦ and t : A → C are comonoid morphisms.

2The (m) and (c) refer to the monoid and comonoid identities found in Appendix A. Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 155

These properties will be proved in this section. Note that we will run into the usual source morphism (which we call r) in Definition 2.1, which defines weak Hopf monoids. We tabulate properties of the source morphism s in Figure 1, properties of the target morphism t in Figure 2, and properties involving the interaction of s and t in Figure 3. Proofs of these properties may be found in Appendix B. Suppose A and B are weak bimonoids in ᐂ.A morphism of weak bimonoids f : A → B is a morphism f : A → B in ᐂ that is both a monoid morphism and a comonoid morphism.

In what follows A = (A, µ, η, δ, ) will always denote a weak bimonoid and s, t : A → A will always denote the source and target morphisms. From properties (7) and (7) in Figures 1 and 2 respectively, s and t are idem- potents. In the following we will work in the Cauchy completion (= completion under idempotents = Karoubi envelope) ᏽᐂ of ᐂ. We do this rather than assume that idempotents split in ᐂ.

1.2. Cauchy completion. Given a category ᐂ, its Cauchy completion ᏽᐂ is the category whose objects are pairs (X, e) with X ∈ ᐂ and e : X → X ∈ ᐂ an idem- potent. A morphism (X, e) → (X 0, e0) in ᏽᐂ is a morphism f : X → X 0 ∈ ᐂ such that e0 f e = f . Note that the identity morphism of (X, e) is e itself. The point of working in the Cauchy completion is that every idempotent f : (X, e) → (X, e) in ᏽᐂ has a splitting, namely, f (X, e)(/ X, e) < @ << ÒÒ << ÒÒ f << ÒÒ f < ÒÒ (X, f ).

If ᐂ is a monoidal category, then ᏽᐂ is a monoidal category via (X, e) ⊗ (X 0, e0) = (X ⊗ X 0, e ⊗ e0). 158 Craig Pastro and Ross Street

The category ᐂ may be fully embedded in ᏽᐂ by sending X ∈ ᐂ to (X, 1) ∈ ᏽᐂ and f : X → Y ∈ ᐂ to f : (X, 1) → (Y, 1), which is obviously a morphism in ᏽᐂ. When working in ᏽᐂ we will often identify an object X ∈ ᐂ with (X, 1) ∈ ᏽᐂ.

1.3. Properties of the source and target morphisms. Let A = (A, 1) be a weak bimonoid in ᏽᐂ. From the definition of the Cauchy completion, the result of splitting the source morphism s is (A, s), and similarly, the result of splitting the target morphism t is (A, t). The following proposition shows that these two objects are isomorphic. Proposition 1.3. The idempotent t : (A, 1) → (A, 1) has the two splittings t t (A, 1)(/ A, 1) (A, 1)(/ A, 1) < @ < @ << ÒÒ << ÒÒ << ÒÒ and << ÒÒ t << ÒÒ t t << ÒÒ s < ÒÒ < ÒÒ (A, t) (A, s).

In this case s : (A, s) → (A, t) and t : (A, t) → (A, s) are inverse morphisms, and hence (A, t) =∼ (A, s). Proof. This result follows from the identities ts = s and st = t (property (8) in Figure 3).  We will denote this object by C = (A, t) and call it the object-of-objects of A. In the propositions next we will show that C is a comonoid and that it is a separable Frobenius monoid; this is similar to what was done in [Schauenburg 2003] (where it was called Frobenius-separable). Proposition 1.4. The object C = (A, t) equipped with δ t⊗t   δ = C / C ⊗ C / C ⊗ C and  = C / I is a comonoid in ᏽᐂ. If C is furthermore equipped with t⊗t µ  η µ = C ⊗ C / C ⊗ C / C and η = I / C, then C is a separable Frobenius monoid in ᏽᐂ (see Definition A.5). Proof. We first observe that (t ⊗ t)δ : C → C ⊗ C and  : C → I are in ᏽᐂ, which follows respectively from (5) and (2). The comonoid identities are given as

? ? ? ? ? ? t t (5) ? (c) ?? (5) t t = ×77 t = t ×77 = ?? t × t t × t ?? t  t t  t               Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 159 and ?? ?? t  t (2) ?? (c) (c) ? (2) t  t =  t = t = t  ? = .

To see that C is  a separable   ØÙ Frobenius   monoid ØÙ  we first   observe that µ and η  ØÙ  ØÙ are morphisms in ᏽᐂ from (5) and (2), and the monoid identities are dual to the comonoid identities. The following calculation proves that the Frobenius condition holds.

Every  morphism  of weak bimonoids induces an isomorphism on the objects-of-objects. That is, if (A, 1) and (B, 1) are weak bimonoids, and f : (A, 1) → (B, 1) is a morphism of weak bimonoids, then the induced morphism t f t : (A, t) → (B, t) is an isomorphism. Proof. If f : A → B is a morphism of weak bimonoids, then by Lemma 1.2 f t = t f and f s = st. The corollary now follows from Propositions 1.4 and A.3.  Proposition 1.6. If we write C◦ for the comonoid C with the “opposite” comulti- plication defined via

δ t⊗t c zDD C / C ⊗ C / C ⊗ C / C ⊗ C = t z t , AA AA| ~~ A then s : A → C◦ and t : A → C are comonoid morphisms. That  is, the diagrams s t A / C A / C

2. Weak Hopf monoids

In this section we introduce weak Hopf monoids. A weak Hopf monoid is a weak bimonoid H equipped with an antipode ν : H → H satisfying the three axioms ν ∗ 1 = t, 1 ∗ ν = r, and ν ∗ 1 ∗ ν = ν, where f ∗g = µ( f ⊗g)δ is the product, and the morphism r : H → H is introduced below. This turns out to be the usual definition of weak Hopf monoids as found in the literature; in the symmetric case see [Bohm¨ et al. 1999], and in the braided case see [Alonso Alvarez´ et al. 2008a; 2008b]. Note property (15), which says that r = νs.

2.1. The endomorphism r and weak Hopf monoids. Define an endomorphism r : A → A by rotating the target morphism t : A → A by π, that is,

r = .  ØÙ Since r is just t rotated by π, all the identities for t in Figure 2 rotated by π hold  ØÙ for r. We list some additional identities of r interacting with s and t.

The proofs of these properties may also be found in Appendix B.

Definition 2.1. A weak bimonoid H is called a weak Hopf monoid if it is equipped with an endomorphism ν : H → H, called the antipode, satisfying

? ?  ?? ?? ν  = t , ν = r , ν  ν = ν . ?? ?? ?  ?        The axioms of a weak Hopf monoid immediately imply the identities

? ? ?? ?? ν = t  ν = ν  r . ?? ?? ? ?      The antipode is unique since if ν0 is another, then

Proposition 2.2 [Alonso Alvarez´ et al. 2003, Proposition 1.4]. Suppose H and K are weak Hopf monoids in ᐂ and that f : H → K is both a monoid and comonoid morphism. Then f preserves the antipode, that is, f ν = ν f .

The proof is also due to the authors of [Alonso Alvarez´ et al. 2003], where a similar proof may be found. We include it here for completeness.

Proof. Recall from Lemma 1.2 that t f = f t, from which we may easily conclude that r f = f r. The proposition is then established by the calculation

We list some properties of the antipode ν : H → H. 162 Craig Pastro and Ross Street

3. The monoidal category of A-comodules

Suppose A = (A, 1) is a weak bimonoid in ᏽᐂ and let C = (A, t), which we recall is a separable Frobenius monoid. In this section we describe a monoidal structure on the categories Bicomod(C) of C-bicomodules in ᏽᐂ, and Comod(A) of right A-comodules in ᏽᐂ, such that the underlying functor

U : Comod(A) → Bicomod(C) is strong monoidal. If A is a weak Hopf monoid then we show that Comod f (A), the subcategory consisting of the dualizable objects, is left autonomous. 164 Craig Pastro and Ross Street

This section is fairly standard in the ᐂ = Vect case — see for example [Bohm¨ and Szlachanyi´ 2000; Nill 1998; Nikshych and Vainerman 2002] — and carries over rather straightforwardly to the general braided ᐂ case; see [Day et al. 2003].

3.1. The monoidal structure on C-bicomodules. Suppose, for this section, that idempotents split in ᐂ, that C ∈ ᐂ is a separable Frobenius monoid, and that M ∈ ᐂ is a C-bicomodule with coaction γ : M → C ⊗ M ⊗ C.

A left C-coaction and a right C-coaction are obtained from γ by involving the counit  as follows: γ 1⊗1⊗  γl = M / C ⊗ M ⊗ C / C ⊗ M ,

γ ⊗1⊗1  γr = M / C ⊗ M ⊗ C / M ⊗ C .

Suppose now that N is another C-bicomodule. We now wish to define the tensor product of M and N. Before doing so we will need the following definition. Definition 3.1. Let f, g : X → Y be a parallel pair in ᐂ. This pair is called cosplit when there is an arrow d : Y → X such that

d f = 1X and f dg = gdg. It is not hard to see that, in this case, dg : X → X is an idempotent and a splitting of dg, that is, dg 1 XX/ QQ/ ?? ? ?? ? ??  ??  x ?? y y ?? x ?  ?  Q X provides an absolute equalizer (Q, y) for f and g. Now M and N are C-bicomodules and we have two morphisms

γr ⊗1 / M ⊗ NM/ ⊗ C ⊗ N. 1⊗γl

Proposition 3.2. The pair γr ⊗ 1 and 1 ⊗ γl are cosplit by

d = (1 ⊗  ⊗ 1)(1 ⊗ µ ⊗ 1)(γr ⊗ 1 ⊗ 1) : M ⊗ C ⊗ N → M ⊗ N. Proof. Here we barely sketch the proof and note that we prove a very similar statement in greater detail in Proposition 3.3. That d(γr ⊗1) = 1 follows from the separable property of the Frobenius monoid, and (γr ⊗ 1)d(1 ⊗ γl ) = (1 ⊗ γl )d(1 ⊗ γl ) follows from the Frobenius property.  Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 165

Thus, the equalizer of the two morphisms γr ⊗1 and 1⊗γl is found by splitting the idempotent d(1 ⊗ γl ), which is possible from our assumption that idempotents split in ᐂ. So the equalizer exists and is absolute. This equalizer is then defined to be the tensor product of M and N over C, denoted M ⊗C N. That this defines a monoidal structure on the category Bicomod(C) with tensor product ⊗C and unit C is yet to be proved. However, we thought it better to write the next section more explicitly from which the details here may be filled in.

3.2. The tensor product of A-comodules. Let A = (A, 1) be a weak bimonoid in ᏽᐂ. Let C = (A, t). It will be shown that the monoidal structure on the category of right A-comodules is ⊗C , the tensor product over C, with unit C. Suppose that M is a right A-comodule. We know that s : A → C◦ and t : A → C are comonoid morphisms and that property (10) holds, recalling that property (10) expresses the commutativity of the diagram s⊗t A ⊗ A / C ⊗ C δ rr8 rrr A r c LL LLL δ L& t⊗s  A ⊗ A / C ⊗ C.

Therefore M may be made into a C-bicomodule via γ 1⊗δ c−1⊗1 s⊗1⊗t γ = M / M ⊗ A / M ⊗ A ⊗ A / A ⊗ M ⊗ A / C ⊗ M ⊗ C, which is M ?? A ?/ γ = ooo/ s oo t

C M C in strings. The left and right C-coactions  are 

JJ = kJ = GG γl s kkk and γr t .

The tensor product of two A -comodules M and N over C then may be defined as in Section 3.1. We derive an explicit description of M ⊗C N. Suppose M and N are A-comodules. Two morphisms M ⊗ N → M ⊗ C ⊗ N are given as

M N M N A J A GG JJ γr ⊗ 1 = t and 1 ⊗ γl = qq . s qq M CN  M CN  166 Craig Pastro and Ross Street

Proposition 3.3. The pair γr ⊗ 1 and 1 ⊗ γl are cosplit by M CN

G t d = GG .  M N Proof. That d is a morphism in ᏽᐂ follows ØÙ immediately as t is idempotent. The calculation G G O t GG OO4 (7) t (c) (6) ?? (c) d(γr ⊗ 1) = t = GG = 44 t = = = 1M⊗N GG G 4 G      ØÙ ⊗ =  ØÙ  ØÙ shows that d(γr 1) 1, ØÙ and the identity

(γr ⊗ 1)d(1 ⊗ γl ) = (1 ⊗ γl )d(1 ⊗ γl ) follows from

JJJ mm JJJ s mm m JJ JJJ s mmm G J O ? r GG mmm OOJ ? rrr ⊗ ⊗ = t (8)= GG (2)= mm (c)=  JJllll (12)= s t (γr 1)d(1 γl ) GG G  4 G  GG t 44 jj G t jj G G  G  t  t  ØÙ  ØÙ  ØÙ   ØÙ    ØÙ  JJJ J JJJ mmm JJ mm s m mmm s mm (2) t/m/m (c) GG (8) t = s = G = GG 44 k s G 4kkk JJJ   mm JJ s mm  mJ  s mmm   ØÙ  ØÙ =  ØÙ ⊗ ⊗  (1 γl )d(1 γl ).  

The idempotent d(1 ⊗ γl ) will be denoted by m, which gains a simpler repre- sentation from the calculation

JJJ mm s mm JJJ mmm JJJ t (8)= s m (2)= GG mm = GG GG Gmmm m. G G    ØÙ  ØÙ  ØÙ Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 167

A splitting of m, that is, m m (M ⊗ N, 1)(/ M ⊗ N, 1) (M ⊗ N, m)(/ M ⊗ N, m) AA }> AA }> AA }} AA }} AA }} AA }} m AA }} m m AA }} m A }} A }} (M ⊗ N, m) (M ⊗ N, 1), provides an absolute equalizer (M ⊗ N, m) of (γr ⊗ 1) and (1 ⊗ γl ). Thus, the tensor product of M and N over C is

M ⊗C N = (M ⊗ N, m).

3.3. The coaction on the tensor product. If Comod(A) is to be a monoidal cat- egory with underlying functor U : Comod(A) → Bicomod(C) strong monoidal, then the tensor product of two A-comodules must also be an A-comodule. In this section we show that the obvious coaction on M ⊗C N, namely,

QQQ 77 γ = QQQ7 : M ⊗C N → M ⊗C N ⊗ A, does the job.

Lemma 3.4. The coaction γ : M ⊗C N → M ⊗C N ⊗ A, as defined above, is a morphism in ᏽᐂ. That is,

?? QQ 7 ?? r QQQ77 ?rrr QQ 7 Q = QQQ77 = ?? . Q ?? r QQQ 77 ?rrr QQQ7  ØÙ Proof. The first equality is given by  ØÙ

Comod(A) is a monoidal ØÙ category. We now set out to prove the claim, at the beginning of this section, that (Comod(A), ⊗C , C) is a monoidal category. It will turn out that associativity is a strict equality (if it is so in ᐂ) and the unit conditions are only up to isomorphism. We state this as a theorem and devote the remainder of this section to its proof.

Theorem 3.6. Comod(A) = (Comod(A), ⊗C , C) is a monoidal category.

First note that C itself is an A-comodule with coaction C t . ×77 ×× 7 C  A The following lemma will be useful.

Lemma 3.7. The following identities hold.

t t t O JJ t OOOtt Q 7 = JJJ Q 7 = ?t? O QQQ 7 J QQQ 7 r QQ7 t QQ7 s rr      Proof. The first identity is proved by

t t t  OOOtt (3)= (11)= t J t (c)= ?t OO QQQ 77 QQQ 77 JJJtt ? .  QQQ7 QQQ7 tt JJ rr  t s s r 

Proof of Theorem 3.6. Consider (M ⊗C N)⊗ C P and M ⊗C (N ⊗C P) in ᏽᐂ. The former is (M ⊗ N ⊗ P, u) and the latter is (M ⊗ N ⊗ P, v), where

? ?? J ? JJ l JJllll Jlll = / = ?? u WWW // ?? and v JJJ ll . WW// l ?? oll lll ?ooo  ØÙ  ØÙ

Since, by Lemma 3.4, γ is a morphism ØÙ in ᏽᐂ, both ØÙ u and v may be rewritten as

7 ? V 7 ? VVVV7llll ,

proving the (strict) equality (M ⊗C N) ⊗ ØÙ C P = M ⊗C (N ⊗C P) in ᏽᐂ (since we are writing as if ᐂ were strict). ∼ ∼ It remains to prove M ⊗C C = M = C ⊗C M. By definition

t t ? ?? M ⊗C C = (M ⊗ C, J ? ) and C ⊗C M = (C ⊗ M, JJ l ). JJllll Jlll  

We will show that the morphisms ØÙ  ØÙ

G t GG GG : M ⊗C C → M and t : M → M ⊗C C  ∼  will establish the isomorphism ØÙ M ⊗C C = M, and

? t ? ?? oo : C ⊗ M → M o : M → C ⊗ M oo C and s oo C  ∼  will establish the ØÙ isomorphism M = C ⊗C M. These morphisms are easily seen to be in ᏽᐂ, and the fact that they are mutually inverse pairs is given in one direction by Lemma 3.7, and in the other by an easy string calculation making use of the identity (6) in Figure 1 or (6) in Figure 2. 170 Craig Pastro and Ross Street

It now remains to show that these four morphisms are A-comodules morphisms, that is, that they are in Comod(A). Note that M⊗C C and C⊗C M are A-comodules via the coactions

t t QQQ 77 and QQQ 77 QQQ7 QQQ7   respectively. We then have these facts:

Thus, Comod(A) = (Comod(A), ⊗C , C) is a monoidal category.

3.5. The forgetful functor from A-comodules to C-bicomodules. There is a for- getful functor U : Comod(A) → Bicomod(C) that assigns to each A-comodule M a C-bicomodule UM that is M itself with coaction M ??A ?/ ooo/ . s oo t C M C   Obviously a morphism of A-comodules f : M → N is automatically a morphism of the underlying C-bicomodules f : UM → UN. Proposition 3.8. The forgetful functor U : Comod(A) → Bicomod(C) is strong monoidal. Proof. We must establish the C-bicomodule isomorphisms ∼ ∼ C = UC and UM ⊗C UN = U(M ⊗C N).

The first is obvious. To establish the second we observe that the object UM⊗C UN is (M ⊗C N, m) with coaction ?? ?? r ?rrr ? ? GG s jjj t  ØÙ   and U(M ⊗C N) is also (M ⊗C N, m) but with coaction

3.6. Comod f (H) is left autonomous. Let ᐂf denote the subcategory of ᐂ con- sisting of the objects with a left dual (since ᐂ is braided, left duals are right duals), and suppose that H is a weak Hopf monoid. There is a forgetful func- tor Ul : Comod(H) → ᐂ defined as the composite of the two forgetful functors Comod(H) → Bicomod(C) and Bicomod(C) → ᐂ. Sometimes this composite Ul : Comod(H) → ᐂ is called the long forgetful functor, as opposed to the short forgetful functor U : Comod(H) → Bicomod(C). Let us say an object M ∈ Comod(H) is dualizable if Ul M has a left dual in ᐂ, that is, Ul M ∈ ᐂ f . Denote by Comod f (H) the subcategory of Comod(H) con- sisting of the dualizable objects. The goal of this section is to prove the following proposition.

Proposition 3.9. If H is a weak Hopf monoid, then the category Comod f (H) is left autonomous (= left compact = left rigid).

∗ Suppose M ∈ Comod f (H) has a left dual M in ᐂ. Using the antipode of H, a coaction on M∗ is defined as M∗

4. Frobenius monoid example

Let R be a separable Frobenius monoid in ᐂ. In this section we prove that R ⊗ R is an example of a weak Hopf monoid with an invertible antipode. In the case ᐂ = Vect, this example is essentially the same as in [Bohm¨ et al. 1999, Appendix]. Let R be a Frobenius monoid in ᐂ. Then R ⊗ R becomes a comonoid via

δ = and  = . where, for simplicity, in this section we will adopt the simpler notation

??  = ? = ?? and ,  ?  ØÙ ⊗ and R R becomes a monoid via  ØÙ A = AA = t AAt == µ = Ft A == and η = . Fyy  ØÙ  ØÙ The comonoid structure is via the comonad generated by the adjunction R a R. The monoid structure is the usual monoid structure (viewing R as a monoid) on the tensor product R◦ ⊗ R, where R◦ is the opposite monoid of R.

Proposition 4.1. If R is separable, meaning µδ = 1R, then R ⊗ R is a weak bi- monoid. An invertible antipode ν on R ⊗ R is given by

ν = , which makes R ⊗ R into a weak Hopf monoid.

The next three sets of calculations establish the axioms (b), (v), and (w), and hence the first claim. Axiom (b) is given by

5. Quantum groupoids

In this section we recall the quantum categories and quantum groupoids of Day and Street [2004], where there is a succinct definition on [page 216] in terms of “basic data” and “Hopf basic data”. Here we give the unpacked definition of quantum category and quantum groupoid which is essentially found in [page 221]; however, we do make a correction. 178 Craig Pastro and Ross Street

Our setting is a braided monoidal category ᐂ=(ᐂ, ⊗, I, c) in which the functors

A ⊗ − : ᐂ → ᐂ with A ∈ ᐂ, preserve coreflexive equalizers, that is, equalizers of pairs of mor- phisms with a common left inverse.

5.1. Quantum categories. Suppose A and C are comonoids in ᐂ and s : A → C◦ and t : A → C are comonoid morphisms such that the diagram

s⊗t A ⊗ A / C ⊗ C δ rr8 rrr A r c LL LLL δ L& t⊗s  A ⊗ A / C ⊗ C commutes. Then A may be viewed as a C-bicomodule with left and right coactions defined respectively via

δ 1⊗s c−1  γl = A / A ⊗ A / A ⊗ C / C ⊗ A ,

δ 1⊗t  γr = A / A ⊗ A / A ⊗ C .

Recall that the tensor product P = A ⊗C A of A with itself over C is defined as the equalizer

γr ⊗1 ι / P / A ⊗ A / A ⊗ C ⊗ A . 1⊗γl

The diagrams

⊗ 1⊗γr ⊗1 ι γl 1 / P / A ⊗ A / C ⊗ A ⊗ A / C ⊗ A ⊗ C ⊗ A, 1⊗1⊗γl

⊗ γr ⊗1⊗1 ι 1 γr / P / A ⊗ A / A ⊗ A ⊗ C / A ⊗ C ⊗ A ⊗ C 1⊗γl ⊗1 may be seen to commute and therefore induce respectively a left C- and right C- coaction on P. These coactions make P into a C-bicomodule. The commutativity of the diagram

δl 1⊗c⊗1

  A ⊗ A ⊗ P / A ⊗ A ⊗ A ⊗ A 1⊗1⊗ι commute. In strings,

ι δl 22 = 99 2  ι . : : Ô//  *  ::Ô /   *  Ô : / '&%$ !"#  * It is easy to see (postcompose with the monomorphism  1 ⊗ 1 ⊗ 1 ⊗ 1 ⊗ ι) that the morphism δl is the left coaction of the comonoid A ⊗ A on P that makes P into a (left) A ⊗ A-comodule. This means that the diagrams

δl P / A ⊗ A ⊗ P δl P / A ⊗ A ⊗ P δl E EE  EE A ⊗ A ⊗ P 1⊗1⊗δl EE ⊗⊗1 1 EE EE δ⊗δ⊗1 E"  P  1⊗c⊗1⊗1  A ⊗ A ⊗ A ⊗ A ⊗ P / A ⊗ A ⊗ A ⊗ A ⊗ P commute.

5.2. The definition. We are now ready to state the definition. A quantum category in ᐂ consists of the data A = (A, C, s, t, µ, η) where A, C, s, t are as above, and µ : P = A ⊗C A → A and η : C → A are morphisms in ᐂ, called the composition morphism and unit morphism, respectively. This data must satisfy axioms (B1) through (B6) below. (B1) (A, µ, η) is a monoid in Bicomod(C). 180 Craig Pastro and Ross Street

(B2) The following diagram commutes. t⊗⊗1 ⊗ δl / 1 µ P / A ⊗ A ⊗ P / C ⊗ P / C ⊗ A ⊗s⊗1 Before stating (B3), we use (B2) to show that the diagram ⊗ ⊗ γr ⊗1⊗1 δl 1 1 µ / P / A ⊗ A ⊗ P / A ⊗ A ⊗ A / A ⊗ C ⊗ A ⊗ A 1⊗γl ⊗1 commutes, as seen by the calculation

δl P / A ⊗ A ⊗ P

δr 1⊗1⊗µ  ι⊗1  P ⊗ A / A ⊗ A ⊗ A commute. We can now state (B3). (B3) The following diagram commutes. µ PA/

A consequence of these axioms is that P becomes a left A ⊗ A-, right A- bicomodule. The axiom (B6) makes C into a right A-comodule via

η δ s⊗1 C / A / A ⊗ A / C ⊗ A .

We refer to A as the object-of-arrows and C as the object-of-objects.

5.3. Quantum groupoids. Suppose we have comonoid isomorphisms =∼ =∼ υ : C◦◦ / C and ν : A◦ / A .

⊗3 Denote by Pl the left A -comodule P with coaction defined by

δ 1⊗1⊗1⊗ν 1⊗1⊗cP,A P / A ⊗ A ⊗ P ⊗ A / A ⊗ A ⊗ P ⊗ A / A ⊗ A ⊗ A ⊗ P ,

−1 −1 c δ 1⊗1⊗1⊗ν A⊗A⊗P,A P / A ⊗ A ⊗ P ⊗ A / A ⊗ A ⊗ P ⊗ A / A ⊗ A ⊗ A ⊗ P .

⊗3 Furthermore, suppose that θ : Pl → Pr is a left A -comodule isomorphism. We define a quantum groupoid in ᐂ to be a quantum category A in ᐂ equipped with an υ, ν, and θ satisfying (G1) through (G3) below.

(G1) sν = t, (G2) tν = υs, and (G3) the diagram3

6. Weak Hopf monoids and quantum groupoids

The goal of this section is to prove the following theorem. Theorem 6.1. There is a bijection in ޑᐂ between weak bimonoids and quantum categories with separable Frobenius object-of-objects. Also, if the weak bimonoid is equipped with an invertible antipode, making it a weak Hopf monoid, then the quantum category becomes a quantum groupoid. In the case ᐂ = Vect, it has been shown in [Brzezinski´ and Militaru 2002, Proposition 5.2] that a weak Hopf monoid with invertible antipode yields a quan- tum groupoid. Concerning the converse, we would like to warmly thank Gabriella Bohm¨ for not only suggesting that it may be true, and pointing out that the ᐂ = Vect case appears in the PhD thesis of Imre Balint´ [2008a], but for also helping us with the proof. The theorem has an obvious corollary. Corollary 6.2. Any Frobenius monoid in ᏽᐂ yields a quantum groupoid in ᏽᐂ. Proof. By Proposition 4.1, every Frobenius monoid R in ᏽᐂ leads to a weak Hopf monoid with invertible antipode R ⊗ R. Apply Theorem 6.1 to this weak Hopf monoid with invertible antipode to get a quantum groupoid in ᏽᐂ.  Now let us discuss the necessary data for the theorem. The proof involves many string calculations, which may be found in Sections 6.1 and 6.2. Suppose A = (A, 1) is a weak bimonoid in ᏽᐂ with source morphism s and target morphism t, and put C = (A, t). Our claim is that this data along with

77 × µ = 7×× : P → A, η = t : C → A forms a quantum category in ᏽᐂ. If moreover A is a weak Hopf monoid in ᏽᐂ with an invertible antipode ν : A → A, then setting

υ = tννt : C◦◦ → C, ν = ν : A◦ → A, θ = : P → P. ν yields a quantum groupoid in ᏽᐂ. The details will be proved  in Section 6.1. Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 183

For the other direction, recall from Section 3.1 that, if C is a separable Frobenius monoid and M and N are C-comodules, we may form M ⊗C N, the tensor product over C of M and N. Moreover, the tensor product over C is a retract of the tensor product in ᐂ so that ι M ⊗C N / M ⊗ N has a retraction m : M ⊗ N → M ⊗C N. Again, from Section 3.1, we see that we may explicitly write ιm as

δr ⊗δl 1⊗µ⊗1 1⊗⊗1 ιm = M ⊗ N / M ⊗ C ⊗ C ⊗ NM/ ⊗ C ⊗ N / M ⊗ N.

Graphically, M N ⊗ ⊗ 7 M N M C N M C N 7 ×× m OCC ι M ⊗ N = OOooo = C and M N . (@) ι 7 ××  7 m M N M N   ØÙ  Now suppose A = (A, C, s, t, µ, η) is a quantum category in ᐂ, in which C = (C, µ, η, δ, ) is a separable Frobenius monoid. The comonoid A is therefore a C-bicomodule, so that ι : P → A ⊗ A has a retraction m : A ⊗ A → P. This is such that ?? ?? r = t s rr = ιm DDzz and mι 1P .   A If we then define a multiplication and ØÙ unit for as m µ η η µ = (A ⊗ A / P / A) , η = (I / C / A), where η : I → C comes from the fact that C is a Frobenius , then we have the data for a weak bimonoid A. That this is actually a weak bimonoid will be proved in Section 6.2. Let us see that this correspondence between weak bimonoids and quantum cate- gories with separable Frobenius object-of-objects is one-to-one. Suppose we have a weak bimonoid A = (A, µ, η, δ, ) in ᏽᐂ. It becomes a quantum category in ᏽᐂ by setting

C := (A, t), s := s, t := t, η := t, and µ := µ.

This quantum category then becomes a weak bimonoid by setting

µ := µ ◦ m and η := t ◦ η 184 Craig Pastro and Ross Street where, in this case, ?? ?? r JJJ = t s rr (2)= GG mm m DDzz Gmmm   ◦ m = and, as we see from the first paragraph ØÙ of Section ØÙ 6.1, µ µ, and moreover, the morphism t ◦ η = η by axiom (2) for weak bimonoids. Thus, we have ended up with the weak bimonoid A that we started with. Let us now go in the other direction. Suppose that we have a quantum category A = (A, C, s, t, µ, η) with (A, δ, ) a comonoid, and C = (C, µC , ηC , δC , C ) a separable Frobenius monoid. Then A becomes a weak bimonoid with

0 0 µ := µ ◦ m, where m : A ⊗ A → P, and η := η ◦ ηC .

We note that the source and target morphisms for the weak bimonoid are given by

s0 := η ◦ s and t0 := η ◦ t.

First, we observe that C =∼ (A, t) and P =∼ (A ⊗ A, ιm) respectively via η m x w 0 C P A ⊗ A m (A, t ) t / ( , 1) and ( , 1)(ι / , ι ).

The first isomorphism is established in one direction by definition and in the other by tη = (1 ⊗ t)( ⊗ 1)δη

= ( ⊗ 1)(η ⊗ 1)δC since η is a C-comodule morphism

= (C ⊗ 1)δC by (B5)

= 1C . The second isomorphism is again established in one direction by definition and in the other by the fact that m is a retract of ι. This weak bimonoid becomes a quantum category by stripping off the m from µ0 so that we are left with the original µ. Since t0 is a morphism from (A, t) to (A, 1), if we wish to consider it as a morphism from C to A, we must precompose with η : (C, 1) → (A, t). This gives t0 ◦ η = η ◦ t ◦ η = η, and so we are left with the original η. We have already seen that C =∼ (A, t), so we are left with our original quantum category. This establishes the bijection one-to-one correspondence between quantum cat- egories and weak bimonoids, and moreover shows how to construct a quantum groupoid from a weak Hopf monoid. The remainder of this section is devoted to proving the details of the theorem. Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 185

6.1. Weak bimonoids yield quantum categories. In this section, we prove that a weak bimonoid in ᏽᐂ yields a quantum category in ᏽᐂ. Suppose that A = (A, 1) is a weak bimonoid with source and target morphisms s and t, respectively. Set C = (A, t) as usual. The morphisms s and t are obviously in ᏽᐂ, hence so is η = t, and ??

ØÙ  ØÙ To see that (A, µ, η) is ØÙ a comonoid in Bicomod(C), notice that associativity follows from that of µ viewed as a weak bimonoid, and the counit property may be seen from property (6), that is,

−1 µ(1 ⊗ t)δ = 1A and µ(s ⊗ 1)c δ = 1A, 186 Craig Pastro and Ross Street and so (B1) holds. (B2) follows from one application of (12), (B3) follows from (b), (B4) from (c), and (B5) follows from (2). The calculation

t t t   (3) t (8)  s  =  = t   s  t t t      verifies (B6). Thus, A = (A, C, s, t, µ,  η) is a quantum category in ᏽᐂ. We now wish to show that a weak Hopf monoid with invertible antipode yields a quantum groupoid. So suppose that our weak bimonoid A is equipped with an invertible antipode ν : A → A, and set

υ = tννt : C◦◦ → C, ν = ν : A◦ → A, θ = : P → P. ν

That the antipode ν : A◦ → A is a comonoid isomorphism is our assumption.

6.2. Quantum categories are weak bimonoids. In this section we prove that a quantum category with a separable Frobenius object-of-objects yields a weak bi- monoid. Thus, suppose that A = (A, C, s, t, µ, η) is a quantum category in ᐂ with C = (C, µ, η, δ, ) a separable Frobenius monoid. The object A is a comonoid in ᐂ, and our goal here is to show that equipping it with a multiplication and unit as m µ η η µ = (A ⊗ A / P / A) , η = (I / C / A) then yields a weak bimonoid A in ᐂ (and hence in ᏽᐂ). Let us begin by establishing that the multiplication and unit defined here give a monoid structure on A. Note that the morphisms

η ⊗C 1 : C ⊗C A → A ⊗C A and 1 ⊗C η : A ⊗C C → A ⊗C A are the unique morphisms such that (η ⊗ 1)ι = ι(η ⊗C 1) : C ⊗C A → A ⊗ A and (1 ⊗ η)ι = ι(1 ⊗C η) : A ⊗C C → A ⊗ A, respectively. Thus, we have

η ⊗C 1 = m(η ⊗ 1)ι and 1 ⊗C η = m(1 ⊗ η)ι, so that

(η ⊗C 1)λ = m(η ⊗ 1)δl and (1 ⊗C η)ρ = m(1 ⊗ η)δr , where λ : A → C ⊗C A and ρ : A → A⊗C C are the left and right unit isomorphisms, respectively. Also, µ⊗C 1 and 1⊗C µ are the unique morphisms such that (µ⊗1)ι = ι(µ⊗C 1) and (1 ⊗ µ)ι = ι(1 ⊗C µ). Thus,

1 ⊗C µ = m(1 ⊗ µ)ι and µ ⊗C 1 = m(µ ⊗ 1)ι.

Given these identities, one of the unit conditions is seen from the calculation Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 193

This then proves that (A, µ, η) is a monoid in ᐂ. We now prove the remaining axioms for a weak bimonoid. Axiom (b) is given by the calculation

Appendix A. String diagrams and basic definitions

In this appendix we give a quick introduction to string diagrams in a braided monoidal category ᐂ = (ᐂ, ⊗, I, c) [Joyal and Street 1993] and use these to define monoid, module, comonoid, comodule, and separable Frobenius monoid in ᐂ. The string calculus was shown to be rigorous in [Joyal and Street 1991]. Weak Hopf monoids in braided monoidal categories 197

A.1. String diagrams. Suppose that ᐂ=(ᐂ, ⊗, I, c) is a braided (strict) monoidal category. In a string diagram, objects label edges and morphisms label nodes. For example, if f : A ⊗ B → C ⊗ D ⊗ E is a morphism in ᐂ, it is represented as

AB / //  /  f = f , 33 33 3 C '&%$ !"#DE where this diagram is meant to be read top to bottom. The identity morphism on an object will be represented as the object itself, as in

A A = .

A special case is the object I ∈ ᐂ, which is represented as the empty string. If, in ᐂ, there are morphisms f : A⊗B →C⊗D⊗E and g : D⊗E⊗F → G⊗H, then they may be composed as

f ⊗1 1⊗g A ⊗ B ⊗ FC/ ⊗ D ⊗ E ⊗ F / C ⊗ G ⊗ H, which may be represented as vertical concatenation

,,  f (1 ⊗ g)( f ⊗ 1) = g '&%$ !"# ,  , '&%$ !"# (where we have left off the objects). The tensor product of morphisms, say / / //  //  /  /  f and g ,  //  //  //  //  '&%$ !"#  '&%$ !"# is represented by horizontal juxtaposition:

//  //  //  //  f ⊗ g = f  g  //  //  //  //  '&%$ !"#  '&%$ !"# (again leaving off the objects). 198 Craig Pastro and Ross Street

The braiding cA,B : A ⊗ B → B ⊗ A is represented as a left-over-right crossing. The inverse braiding is then represented as a right-over-left crossing: AB BA 22 22 2 −1 2 cA,B = 22 , c = . 2 A,B 22 2 2 BA AB Suppose A ∈ ᐂ has a chosen left dual A∗, which we denote by A∗ a A (it would be an adjunction if we were to view ᐂ as a one object bicategory). The evaluation ∗ ∗ and coevaluation morphisms eA : A ⊗ A → I and n A : I → A⊗ A are represented as A∗ A eA = and n A = . A A∗ The triangle equalities become A A∗ A A∗ ∗ A = and A = .

A A∗ To simplify the string diagrams in what follows, we will omit the nodes from certain morphisms (for example, multiplication and comultiplication morphisms) or simplify them (for example, unit and counit morphisms).

A.2. Monoids and modules. A monoid A = (A, µ, η) in ᐂ is an object A ∈ ᐂ equipped with morphisms 2 22 µ = 2 : A ⊗ A → A and η = : I → A,

 ØÙ called the multiplication and unit of the monoid respectively, satisfying 9 9 9 9 9 99 ÕÕ 99ÕÕ ÕÕ 99 9ÕÕ 4 ÕÕ 99 9ÕÕ = 9ÕÕ = 9ÕÕ and 4ÕÕ = = 9 .

“switch” morphism cA,B : A ⊗ B → B ⊗ A in ᐂ given by, say, a braiding. In this case, A ⊗ B becomes a monoid in ᐂ via / / // //  µ = / / and η = .  ØÙ  ØÙ Suppose that A is a monoid in ᐂ.A right A-module in ᐂ is an object M ∈ ᐂ equipped with a morphism

MA 2 22 µ = 2 : M ⊗ A → M, M called the action of A on M, satisfying

MAA MAA M 99 Õ Õ 99 99 Õ ,, M 9Õ9 Õ = 99 Õ , = ÕÕ ÕÕ and , A . (m) M M M  ØÙ Notice that we use the same label “(m)” as in the monoid axioms (and “(c)” below for the comodule axioms). This should not cause any confusion as the labeling of strings disambiguates a multiplication and an action; however, the labeling will usually be left off. If M and N are modules, a module morphism f : M → N is a morphism in ᐂ satisfying MA MA 7 77 ××  × f  = 22  . f 2 N '&%$ !"#N '&%$ !"# A.3. Comonoids and comodules. Comonoids and comodules are dual to monoids and modules. Explicitly, a comonoid C =(C, δ, ) in ᐂ is an object C ∈ᐂ equipped with morphisms

δ = 2 : A → A ⊗ A and  = : A → I, 22 2 called the comultiplication and counit of the comonoid ØÙ respectively, satisfying

9 = 9 = 9 and 9 = = 44 . (c) ÕÕ 99 Õ9Õ 99 ÕÕ 99 99 ÕÕ ÕÕ 9 ÕÕ 9 9 ÕÕ ÕÕ 9 9 ÕÕ

A.4. Frobenius monoids. A Frobenius monoid R in ᐂ is both a monoid and a comonoid in ᐂ that additionally satisfies the “Frobenius condition”: δ⊗1 R ⊗ RR/ ⊗ R ⊗ R

1⊗δ 1⊗µ  µ⊗1  R ⊗ R ⊗ R / R ⊗ R. In strings the Frobenius condition is displayed as ? ??  ?? =  . (f) 

We will now review some basic facts about Frobenius monoids. Lemma A.1. (1 ⊗ µ)(δ ⊗ 1) = δµ = (µ ⊗ 1)(1 ⊗ δ) : R ⊗ R → R ⊗ R. Proof. The left equality is proved by the string calculation

A morphism of Frobenius monoids f : R → S is a morphism in ᐂ that is both a monoid and comonoid morphism.

Proposition A.3. Any morphism of Frobenius monoids f : R → S is an isomor- phism.

Proof. Given f : R → S, define f −1 : S → R by

Appendix B. Proofs of the properties of s, t, and r

As we have noted in Section 1, the source morphism s : A → A is invariant under rotation by π, the target t : A → A is invariant under horizontal reflection, and the endomorphism r is t rotated by π. This reduces the number of proofs we present, since the others are derivable.
