Localization in weak bialgebras and Hopf envelopes

This dissertation primarily investigates the following questions. Given a weak bialgebra H, is it possible to invert some elements and still have a weak bialgebra structure? In such a case, are there requirements on H or on the set of elements we want to invert? We answer these questions by establis...
