    We introduce the symmetric quotient of two relations as a new construct in abstract relational algebra generalizing the notion of a ``noyau'' of Riguet. After exhibiting the main properties of symmetric quotients we study applications in domain theory. In particular, we give a monomorphic characterization of powersets and function domains.
