Superization and -specialization in combinatorial Hopf algebras.
We introduce a graded Hopf algebra based on the set of parking functions (hence of dimension in degree n). This algebra can be embedded into a noncommutative polynomial algebra in infinitely many variables. We determine its structure, and show that it admits natural quotients and subalgebras whose graded components have dimensions respectively given by the Schröder numbers (plane trees), the Catalan numbers, and powers of 3. These smaller algebras are always bialgebras and belong to some family...
The Hopf algebra of word-quasi-symmetric functions (), a noncommutative generalization of the Hopf algebra of quasi-symmetric functions, can be endowed with an internal product that has several compatibility properties with the other operations on . This extends constructions familiar and central in the theory of free Lie algebras, noncommutative symmetric functions and their various applications fields, and allows to interpret as a convolution algebra of linear endomorphisms of quasi-shuffle...
