Marcelo Aguiar (Texas A&M University), « Hopf algebras from cooperads »
Résumé. The notion of surspecies is a variant of the notion of species; both notions are
due to Joyal. The
category of surspecies is not a braided monoidal category; rather, it carries two monoidal
structures which commute with each other in an appropriate sense.
One can then consider bimonoids in the category of surspecies.
Graded bialgebras can be constructed from bimonoids in surspecies by means
of appropriate bilax monoidal functors. It turns out that this includes
as a special case the construction of a Hopf algebra from an arbitrary cooperad.
This talk will discuss the above notions and constructions and is based on
joint work with Swapneel Mahajan.
Related constructions of Hopf algebras from operads have been
introduced independently by Mendez and van der Laan.
There is additional related work by Brouder and Frabetti, Chapoton and
Livernet, Schmitt, and Vallette.
Michael Batanin (Macquarie University), « Locally constant n-operads as higher braided operads »
Résumé
It is known that contractible nonsymmetric operads detect 1-fold loop spaces,
contractible
braided operads detect 2-fold loop spaces and that contractible
symmetric operads detect ∞-fold loop spaces. It is natural to ask: is there a
sequence of groups G(n)={G(n)k}k≥0 together with a notion of
G(n)-operad such that the algebras of a contractible such operad are n-fold loop
spaces up to group completion? One can prove that the answer on the above question is
negative.
I will show, however, that there is a category of operads based on planar trees with
n-levels which we can think of as a correct replacement for the nonexistent category of
G(n)-operads in all dimensions. I call them locally constant n-operads. For
n=1,2,∞ the homotopy category of locally constant n-operads is equivalent to the
homotopy category of classical
nonsymmetric, braided and symmetric operads correspondingly.
Christian Brouder (Université Paris 6), « Une opérade en théorie des champs »
Résumé. Stefan Hollands a proposé récemment une approche
nouvelle pour un des fondements de la théorie quantique
des champs : le développement en produits d'opérateurs
(operator product expansion).
Sa construction utilise des outils très algébriques,
tels que la cohomologie de Hochschild et la
cohomologie cyclique. Il définit aussi un objet
qui ressemble fort à une opérade.
L'exposé présentera l'origine physique du problème
et les points essentiels de l'approche de Hollands.
Emily Burgunder (Université de Montpellier 2), « Une version non-symétrique du complexe de graphes de Kontsevich »
Résumé. Kontsevich a prouvé que l'algèbre de Lie des champs de vecteurs peut être reconstruite à partir d'un graphe-complexe. Nous prouvons une version non-symétrique de ce théorème : l'homologie de Leibniz de cette algèbre peut être reconstruite grâce à un nouveau complexe de graphes. On démontre que l'isomorphisme construit est un isomorphisme de bigèbres Zinbiel associatives.
Gérard H. E. Duchamp (Université Paris XIII), « Algèbres de diagrammes et ordre normal »
Résumé. In this talk, we consider two aspects of the product formula for formal power
series applied to combinatorial field theories.
Firstly, we remark that the case when the functions involved in the product formula have a constant term
is of special interest as often these functions give rise to substitutional groups which are strongly connected
to classical notions like Riordan groups, classical Sheffer conditions and the « exponential formula ».
Secondly, we discuss deformations of the algebra of Feynman-like diagrams arising from the product formula of two free exponentials
(counting natural graph parameters as crossings and superpositions). This leads to a true Hopf deformation of this algebra.
We end with some concluding remarks on the algebraic and combinatorial nature of the deformation.

, « On the ribbon Hopf algebra structure of plethystically generated
subcharacter rings of GL(∞) »
Résumé. Symmetric functions inevitably play a central role in many areas of
mathematics and
physics. Moreover, they form in a natural way the universal positive
self adjoint
bi-commutative Hopf algebra over one generator. This structure
resembles the (formal)
character ring of Char
GL(∞)≃U
(∞). A much
more interesting structure arises from studying character rings of
certain (plethystically
generated) subgroups. We show, that these character rings still carry
a Hopf algebra
structure, but that these Hopf algebras are not necessarily positive,
not self adjoint
and exhibit a nontrivial ribbon structure. Using the categorical
definition of trace and
dimension one can proceed to compute invariants, which can be interpreted as
knot and link invariants. Unfortunately, one gets trivial (dimension,
trace) invariants for the
GL↓ H
π case, but we will show that other branchings
H
μ↓ H
ν
could be nontrivial. Anyhow, a q- or q,t- deformation using
Hall-Littlewood or Macdonald
symmetric functions will give nontrivial invariants, those which
belong to non-semi-simple
Lie groups should be new since we work in a larger category as the framework
leading to the universal Kontsevich invariant.
Loïc Foissy (Université de Reims), « The infinitesimal Hopf algebra of planar trees and the poset of planar forests. »
Résumé. We introduce an infinitesimal Hopf algebra of planar trees,
generalising the construction of the non-commutative Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra.
A non-degenerate pairing and a dual basis are defined, and a combinatorial interpretation
of the pairing in terms of orders on the vertices of planar forests is given.
Moreover, the coproduct and the pairing can also be described with the help of a partial
order on the set of planar forests, making it isomorphic to the Tamari poset.
As a corollary, the dual basis can be computed with a Möbius inversion.
Ralf Holtkamp (Université de Bochum), « Free commutative operations, n-labeled trees, and power series »
Résumé. We consider abstract rooted trees with labeled leaves, such that
the arity of each vertex lies in a given subset of the set of
natural numbers. We introduce a shuffle product on the vector
space of such trees. The dual coproduct together with
abelian-magmatic grafting products leads to a cocommutative
generalized bialgebra type. We obtain a structure theorem, discuss
projectors on the spaces of primitives, and obtain tree power
series with interesting properties.
Herbert Gangl (Université de Durham), « Hopf algebras on polygons, trees and algebraic cycles »
Résumé. A basic Hopf algebra constructed from algebraic cycles is found to have an interesting sub-Hopf algebra whose combinatorics can be captured in terms of (a bar construction using decorated) trees, and the latter in turn leads to an even smaller Hopf algebra on polygons. The polygons themselves can be thought of as pictorial versions of multiple polylogarithms (joint work with A.B. Goncharov and A. Levin).
Thomas Krajewski (Centre de Physique Théorique), « Power series of non linear operators, effective actions and some combinatorial illustrations »
Résumé. In this talk, we present some common algebraic framework for the resolution of non linear equations and effective actions computations, based on the Hopf algebras of rooted trees and Feynman diagrams. To solve non linear equations, we interpret trees as indices for power series of non linear operators and introduce the associated geometric series. The latter is used to solve fixed point equations, as we illustrate on the derivation of Postnikov's hook length formula and on the counting of plane trees with depth less than a given integer in terms of Catalan numbers. In the very same vein, we also interpret Feynman diagrams as indices for the powers of the background field operator and present an composition law analogous to the
B-series of numerical analysis. Finally, we give a new proof of the universality of Tutte polynomial and its relation to the q-state Potts model partition function, based on diagrammatic differential equations and compositions laws of effective actions.
Jean-Louis Loday (CNRS, Strasbourg), « Braces, arbres et algèbres de Hopf »
Résumé. On construit plusieurs algèbres de Hopf combinatoires à partir d'algèbres munies d'opérations braces et multi-braces. On en donne une description explicite en termes d'arbres et une interprétation opéradique (dendriforme, diptère). On montre en quoi elles sont des variations de l'algèbre de Hopf introduite par Connes et Kreimer. Travail en commun avec M. Ronco.
Frédéric Menous (Université Paris-Sud) « Mould Calculus, Combinatorial Hopf Algebras and the Jacobian Conjecture »
Résumé. In the study of analytic Vector fields, Diffeomorphisms, Jean Ecalle's mould calculus provide a way to compute and handle formal identity-tangent diffeomorphisms (in any dimension) as characters on combinatorial Hopf algebras (Shuffle, Quasishuffle, Connes-Kreimer). I will illustrate this in the framework of the Jacobian conjecture and derive some conjectures in such Hopf algebras that imply the Jacobian conjecture.

Frédéric Patras (Université de Nice), « The Hopf algebraic structure of Hopf operads »
Résumé. Joint work with Muriel Livernet. A Hopf triple is such that the tensor product of two
algebras over the triple carry naturally the structure of an algebra over the triple. We
investigate the properties of Hopf operads and show that many properties of the classical
Lie theory carry over to this setting.
Bruno Vallette (Université de Nice), « Théorie de déformation de structures algébriques »
Résumé : Pour tout morphisme de props, nous définirons, à la Quillen, un
complexe de chaines qui mesure les déformations de ce morphisme. Lorsque le prop
but est le prop des endomorphismes d'un module A, ceci définit la théorie
homologique des déformations de A comme (bi)gèbre sur le prop source. Nous
retrouvons de cette manière les différents complexes de chaines de la
littérature : (co)homologie de Hochschild des algèbres associatives, de
Chevalley-Eilenberg des algèbres de Lie, de Harrison des algèbres commutatives,
de Lecomte-Roger des bigèbres de Lie, de Gerstenhaber-Schack des bigèbres
associatives. Grâce à ce point de vue, nous monterons que ce complexe de chaines
est toujours une algèbre de Lie à homotopie près (stricte dans le cas Koszul).
Les solutions de Maurer-Cartan généralisées correspondent alors aux structures
déformées de (bi)gèbre sur A. De plus, nous construirons des opérations
supérieures (non binaires) agissant sur ce complexe qui généralisent les
opérations braces du complexe de Hochschild. Ceci permet, entre autre, de
montrer une version généralisée de la conjecture de Deligne.
