            A braided Frobenius algebra is a Frobenius algebra with a Yang–Baxter operator that commutes with the operations, that are related to diagrams of compact surfaces with boundary expressed as ribbon graphs. A heap is a ternary operation exemplified by a group with the operation [Formula: see text], that is ternary self-distributive. Hopf algebras can be endowed with the algebra version of the heap operation. Using this, we construct braided Frobenius algebras from a class of certain Hopf algebras that admit integrals and cointegrals. For these Hopf algebras we show that the heap operation induces a Yang–Baxter operator on the tensor product, which satisfies the required compatibility conditions. Diagrammatic methods are employed for proving commutativity between Yang–Baxter operators and Frobenius operations.more » « less

            null (Ed.)We investigate constructions of higher arity self-distributive operations, and give relations between cohomology groups corresponding to operations of different arities. For this purpose we introduce the notion of mutually distributive [Formula: see text]-ary operations generalizing those for the binary case, and define a cohomology theory labeled by these operations. A geometric interpretation in terms of framed links is described, with the scope of providing algebraic background of constructing [Formula: see text]-cocycles for framed link invariants. This theory is also studied in the context of symmetric monoidal categories. Examples from Lie algebras, coalgebras and Hopf algebras are given.more » « less
