We consider a pseudomonoid (or monoidal object) A in a monoidal bicategory B: the<br />
underlying object is also denoted by A, the unit is j: I æÆ æ A,<br />
the multiplication is<br />
p: A ƒA æ ÆA,<br />
<strong>and</strong> there are invertible coherent associativity <strong>and</strong> unital constraints.<br />
When the unit constraints are identities, the pseudomonoid is said to be normalized.<br />
When the unit <strong>and</strong> associativity constraints are identities, the pseudomonoid is said to be<br />
strict; it is then just a monoid.<br />
Motivated by Theorem 1.6 (e) we make a natural higher-dimensional extension of the<br />
<strong>Frobenius</strong> notion.<br />
Definition 3.1 A pseudomonoid A is <strong>Frobenius</strong> when it is equipped with a morphism<br />

is a biexact pairing.<br />

Proposition 1.1 of [DMS] states that the pseudomonoid A is left autonomous with<br />
dualization d: A<br />

Furthermore, in the case where j has a right adjoint, Proposition 1.4 of [DMS] states that<br />
A is also right autonomous, <strong>and</strong> then simply called autonomous, if <strong>and</strong> only if d is an<br />
equivalence. Then the right adjoint d * of d is an inverse equivalence <strong>and</strong> (Proposition<br />
1.2 of [DMS]) is given by the formula<br />
