Categorical bialgebras arising from 2-Segal spaces

Topological field theory (TFT) is the study of representations of the cobordism category of manifolds. Such representations are often constructed from purely algebraic inputs. For example, 2d TFTs are constructed from commutative Frobenius algebras. Categories of representations of finite dimensiona...
