Eilenberg-Reiterman's variety theory is one of the central theories in algebraic studies of finite automata and regular languages. In its recent development, Rhodes and Steinberg pointed out that the Boolean algebra of regular languages admits a bialgebra structure and revealed its important role in the duality-theoretic formulation of the variety theory. In this talk, we study the structure of the bialgebra of regular languages using a traditional idea from the linear representation theory of groups. In particular, we aim at clarifying a close connection between algebraic structures on the bialgebra of regular languages and geometric structures of finite automata. Our main result claims that there exists a bijective correspondence between bilinear multiplications of regular languages that are compatible with respect to word decompositions and binary products on finite automata that are stable with respect to simulations. This is proved as a corollary of the Tannaka-style reconstruction theorem for profinite monoids, which is an analogue of the classical Tannaka duality theorem for compact groups and indicates a categorical universality of the Boolean algebra of regular languages with respect to finite automata and simulations.
