On a remark of Loday about the Associahedron and Algebraic K-Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
In his 2006 Cyclic Homology Course from Poland, J.L. Loday stated that the edges of the associahedron of any dimension can be labelled by elements of the Steinberg Group such that any 2-dimensional face represents a relation in the Steinberg Group. We prove his statement. We define a new group R(n) relevant in the study of the rotation distance between rooted planar binary trees .

The Multiple Facets of the Associahedron
This is a survey of some of the nice properties of the associahedron (also called Stasheff polytope) from several points of views: topological, geometrical, combinatorial and algebraic.
متن کاملOn the Exponent of Triple Tensor Product of p-Groups
The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...
متن کاملParking functions and triangulation of the associahedron
We show that a minimal triangulation of the associahedron (Stasheff polytope) of dimension n is made of (n+ 1)n−1 simplices. We construct a natural bijection with the set of parking functions from a new interpretation of parking functions in terms of shuffles. Introduction The Stasheff polytope, also known as the associahedron, is a polytope which comes naturally with a poset structure on the s...
متن کاملAlgebraic K-Theory and the Conjectural Leibniz K-Theory
The analogy between algebraic K-theory and cyclic homology is used to build a program aiming at understanding the algebraic K-theory of fields and the periodicity phenomena in algebraic K-theory. In particular, we conjecture the existence of a Leibniz K-theory which would play the role of Hochschild homology. We propose a motivated presentation for the Leibniz K2-group of a field. Mathematics S...
متن کاملHopf Structures on the Multiplihedra
We investigate algebraic structures that can be placed on vertices of the multiplihedra, a family of polytopes originating in the study of higher categories and homotopy theory. Most compelling among these are two distinct structures of a Hopf module over the Loday–Ronco Hopf algebra. Introduction The permutahedra S· form a family of highly symmetric polytopes that have been of interest since t...
