Commutative B\_infty -algebras are shuffle algebras

Loïc Foissy, Frédéric Patras

Abstract

We here construct an explicit isomorphism between any commutative Hopf algebra which underlying coalgebra is the tensor coalgebra of a space $V$ and the shuffle algebra based on the same space. This isomorphism uses the commutative $B_\infty$ structure that governs the product and the eulerian idempotent, as well as the canonical projection on the space $V$. This generalizes Homan's isomorphism between commutative quasi-shuffle and shuffle algebras, which correspond to the case when the $B_\infty$ structure is given by an associative and commutative product. We develop several examples in details, including the Hopf algebra of finite topologies.

Lemma 2.2

The coproduct $\Delta$ and the coalgebra $C$ are called conilpotent if $\bar{C}=\bigcup\limits_{n\geq 1} F_n$, that is if for every $c\in \bar{C}$ there exists an integer $n\geq 2$ such that $\overline \Delta_n(c)=0$. When the coalgebra $C$ is graded and connected, the coproduct is automatically co
