A Hopf laboratory for symmetric functions
نویسنده
چکیده
An analysis of symmetric function theory is given from the perspective of the underlying Hopf and bi-algebraic structures. These are presented explicitly in terms of standard symmetric function operations. Particular attention is focussed on Laplace pairing, Sweedler cohomology for 1and 2-cochains, and twisted products (Rota cliffordizations) induced by branching operators in the symmetric function context. The latter are shown to include the algebras of symmetric functions of orthogonal and symplectic type. A commentary on related issues in the combinatorial approach to quantum field theory is given.

Hopf Algebras and Edge-labeled Posets
Given a nite graded poset with labeled Hasse diagram, we construct a quasi-symmetric generating function for chains whose labels have xed descents. This is a common generalization of a generating function for the ag f-vector de-ned by Ehrenborg and of a symmetric function associated to certain edge-labeled posets which arose in the theory of Schubert polynomials. We show this construction gives...
متن کاملFree quasi-symmetric functions and descent algebras for wreath products, and noncommutative multi-symmetric functions
Abstract. We introduce analogs of the Hopf algebra of Free quasi-symmetric functions with bases labelled by colored permutations. When the color set is a semigroup, an internal product can be introduced. This leads to the construction of generalized descent algebras associated with wreath products Γ ≀ Sn and to the corresponding generalizations of quasi-symmetric functions. The associated Hopf ...
متن کاملCombinatorial Hopf Algebras and Generalized Dehn-sommerville Relations
A combinatorial Hopf algebra is a graded connected Hopf algebra over a field k equipped with a character (multiplicative linear functional) ζ : H → k. We show that the terminal object in the category of combinatorial Hopf algebras is the algebra QSym of quasi-symmetric functions; this explains the ubiquity of quasi-symmetric functions as generating functions in combinatorics. We illustrate this...
متن کاملHopf Algebras and Edge-labeled Posets
Given a finite graded poset with labeled Hasse diagram, we construct a quasi-symmetric generating function for chains whose labels have fixed descents. This is a common generalization of a generating function for the flag f -vector defined by Ehrenborg and of a symmetric function associated to certain edge-labeled posets which arose in the theory of Schubert polynomials. We show this constructi...
متن کاملA noncommutative symmetric system over the Grossman-Larson Hopf algebra of labeled rooted trees
In this paper, we construct explicitly a noncommutative symmetric (NCS) system over the Grossman-Larson Hopf algebra of labeled rooted trees. By the universal property of the NCS system formed by the generating functions of certain noncommutative symmetric functions, we obtain a specialization of noncommutative symmetric functions by labeled rooted trees. Taking the graded duals, we also get a ...
