Introduction to Diagrammatic Algebra
Abstract:- We show how algebraic relations can be encoded in suggestive topological diagrams and use this to prove various algebraic equations in a purely pictorial way. We will first go over a few canonical examples: monoids, self-dual objects, Frobenius algebras, and monads. Then we will briefly discuss the underlying theory that makes this miracle rigorous.
