Coherence for Frobenius pseudomonoids and the geometry of linear proofsArticle

Authors: Lawrence Dunn ; Jamie Vicary

    We prove coherence theorems for Frobenius pseudomonoids and snakeorators in monoidal bicategories. As a consequence we obtain a 3d notation for proofs in nonsymmetric multiplicative linear logic, with a geometrical notion of equivalence, and without the need for a global correctness criterion or thinning links. We argue that traditional proof nets are the 2d projections of these 3d diagrams.
