plural subprops
- mathematicsA prop (structure that supports a theory) that is part of another prop.
Using a new prop of ribbon graphs and the fact that it contains the prop of involutive Lie bialgebras as a subprop we find new algebraic structures on the classical ribbon graph complex computing H#92;bullet(#92;mathcalM#95;#123;g,n#125;).
