Abstract

We study bialgebras and Hopf algebras in the compact closed categoryRelof sets and binary relations. Various monoidal categories with extra structure arise as the categories of (co)modules of bialgebras and Hopf algebras inRel. In particular, for any groupG, we derive a ribbon category of crossedG-sets as the category of modules of a Hopf algebra inRelthat is obtained by the quantum double construction. This category of crossedG-sets serves as a model of the braided variant of propositional linear logic.
