Correspondingly, we have two kinds of generalized bialgebras, almost bialgebra and weak bialgebra. Let L = （L, ×, I, a, l, r） be a tensor category.

Our aim in this paper is to generalize tensor category L = （L, ×, I, a, l, r） by weakening the natural isomorphisms l, r, i.e. exchanging the natural isomorphism ll^-1 = rr^-1 = id into regular natural transformations lll= l, rrr = r with some other conditions and get so-called weak tensor category so as to characterize weak bialgebra and weak Hopf algebra. The relations between these generalized （bialgebras） Hopf algebras and two kinds generalized tensor categories will be described by using of diagrams. Moreover, some related concepts and properties about weak tensor category will be discussed.展开更多
