Abstract

The Yang-Baxter equation has been studied extensively in the context of monoidal categories. The fusion equation, which appears to be the Yang-Baxter equation with a term missing, has been studied mainly in the context of Hubert spaces. This paper endeavours to place the fusion equation in an appropriate categorical setting. Tricocycloids are defined; they are new mathematical structures closely related to Hopf algebras.
