Hypergroup structure from the quotient by the local subcategory in a weak-braided monoidal category
Determine whether, for any weak-braided monoidal category D, defining the local subcategory D^{loc} as the full weak-braided subcategory equivalent to a braided monoidal category (interpreted as the kernel of the weak braiding), the quotient K = D // D^{loc} carries a canonical hypergroup structure, analogous to hypergroups arising from quotients in module categories over commutative algebra objects.

The present work leaves open the following questions: Does $K=\mathcal{D}//\mathcal{D}{loc}$ form a hypergroup, as in ?
