摘要

We show that the universal measuring coalgebras between Frobenius algebras turn the category of Frobenius algebras into a Hopf category (in the sense of [5]), and the universal comeasuring algebras between Frobenius algebras turn the category Frobenius algebras into a Hopf opcategory. We also discuss duality and compatibility results between these structures. Our theory vastly generalizes the well-known fact that any homomorphism beween Frobenius algebras is an isomorphism, but also allows to go beyond classical (iso)morphisms between Frobenius algebras, especially in finite characteristic, as we show by some explicit examples. The paper is concluded with some open questions and considerations about Topological Quantum Field Theories.
