Compact-closedness conjecture for pointed bimodular profunctors

Let đť•„đť•„ be a monoidal category, and let đť•„Revđť•„^{\mathrm{Rev}} denote its reverse monoidal category, with tensor product

A⊗RevB=B⊗A.A \otimes_{Rev} B = B \otimes A.

The objects, 1-cells, 2-cells and 3-cells of the tricategory of pointed bimodular profunctors are as defined in the paper. Compact-closedness conjecture. Pointed bimodular profunctors form a compact closed tricategory, with the dual of each monoidal category given by its reverse monoidal category đť•„Revđť•„^{\mathrm{Rev}}. This would extend the string-diagrammatic framework developed in the paper and provide duality data for the tricategory; establishing the required compact-closed coherence remains further work.
