Primitive Elements in the Matroid-minor Hopf Algebra

چکیده
We introduce the matroid-minor coalgebra C, which has labeled matroids as distinguished basis, and coproduct given by splitting a matroid into a submatroid and complementary contraction all possible ways. We introduce two new bases for C; the first of these is is related to the distinguished basis by Möbius inversion over the rank-preserving weak order on matroids, the second by Möbius inversion over the suborder excluding matroids that are irreducible with respect to the free product operation. We show that the subset of each of these bases corresponding to the set of irreducible matroids is a basis for the subspace of primitive elements of C. Projecting C onto the matroid-minor Hopf algebra H, we obtain bases for the subspace of primitive elements of H.

Finite dimensional comodules over the Hopf algebra of rooted trees
In [1, 3, 4, 5], a Hopf algebra of rooted trees HR was introduced. It was shown that the antipode of this algebra was the key of a problem of renormalization ([8]). HR is related to the Hopf algebra HCM introduced in [2]. Moreover, the dual algebra of HR is the enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of rooted trees L. An important problem was to give an explicit construction of the primitive ele...
متن کاملInvariant elements in the dual Steenrod algebra
In this paper, we investigate the invariant elements of the dual mod $p$ Steenrod subalgebra ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ under the conjugation map $chi$ and give bounds on the dimensions of $(chi-1)({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$, where $({mathcal{A}_p}^*)_d$ is the dimension of ${mathcal{A}_p}^*$ in degree $d$.
متن کاملOn Lie Algebras in the Category of Yetter - Drinfeld Modules
The category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules YD K over a Hopf algebra K (with bijektive antipode over a field k) is a braided monoidal category. If H is a Hopf algebra in this category then the primitive elements of H do not form an ordinary Lie algebra anymore. We introduce the notion of a (generalized) Lie algebra in YD K such that the set of primitive elements P (H) is a Lie algebra in this sense...
متن کاملThe Sum of a Finite Group of Weights of a Hopf Algebra
We evaluate the sum of a finite group of linear characters of a Hopf algebra, at all grouplike and skew-primitive elements, and mention results for products of skew-primitive elements. Examples include quantum groups associated to semisimple and abelian Lie algebras, and degenerate affine Hecke algebras of reductive type with trivial parameter.
متن کاملLie Representations and an Algebra Containing Solomon's
We introduce and study a Hopf algebra containing the descent algebra as a sub-Hopf-algebra. It has the main algebraic properties of the descent algebra, and more: it is a sub-Hopf-algebra of the direct sum of the symmetric group algebras; it is closed under the corresponding inner product; it is cocommutative, so it is an enveloping algebra; it contains all Lie idempotents of the symmetric grou...
