Homotopy composition of cospans
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
It is well known that the category of finite sets and cospans, composed by pushout, contains the universal special commutative Frobenius algebra. In this paper, we observe that the same construction yields also general commutative Frobenius algebras, if just the pushouts are changed to homotopy pushouts.
