A cobraided bialgebra is a bialgebra equipped with a convolution-invertible bilinear form satisfying the following identities, in Sweedler notation:Convolution invertibility means there is with , and likewise with interchanged. This is a coquasitriangular structure. On right comodules it induces the braidingThe third identity makes this a comodule map, the first two give its two hexagon identities, and the convolution inverse gives the inverse braiding.
