Cocommutative Com-PreLie bialgebras

A Com-PreLie bialgebra is a commutative bialgebra with an extra preLie product satisfying some compatibilities with the product and coproduct. We here give a classification of connected, cocommutative Com-PreLie bialgebras over a field of characteristic zero: we obtain a main family of symmetric algebras on a space V of any dimension, and another family available only if V is one-dimensional. We also explore the case of Com-PreLie bialgebras over a group algebra and over a tensor product of a group algebra and of a symmetric algebra.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1501.0637

On the law of the supremum of L\'evy processes

We show that the law of the overall supremum $\bar{X}_t=\sup_{s\le t}X_s$ of a L\'evy process $X$ before the deterministic time $t$ is equivalent to the average occupation measure \mu_t(dx)=\int_0^t\p(X_s\in dx)\,ds, whenever 0 is regular for both open halflines $(-\infty,0)$ and $(0,\infty)$. In this case, \p(\bar{X}_t\in dx) is absolutely continuous for some (and hence for all) $t>0$, if and only if the resolvent measure of $X$ is absolutely continuous. We also study the cases where 0 is not regular for one of the halflines $(-\infty,0)$ or $(0,\infty)$. Then we give absolute continuity criterions for the laws of $(\bar{X}_t,X_t)$, $(g_t,\bar{X}_t)$ and $(g_t,\bar{X}_t,X_t)$, where $g_t$ is the time at which the supremum occurs before $t$. The proofs of these results use an expression of the joint law \p(g_t\in ds,X_t\in dx,\bar{X}_t\in dy) in terms of the entrance law of the excursion measure of the reflected process at the supremum and that of the reflected process at the infimum. As an application, this law is made (partly) explicit in some particular instances

Deformation of the Hopf algebra of plane posets

We describe and study a four parameters deformation of the two products and the coproduct of the Hopf algebra of plane posets. We obtain a family of braided Hopf algebras, generally self-dual. We also prove that in a particular case (when the second parameter goes to zero and the first and third parameters are equal), this deformation is isomorphic, as a self-dual braided Hopf algebra, to a deformation of the Hopf algebra of free quasi-symmetric functions.Comment: 28 pages.

Free and cofree Hopf algebras

We first prove that a graded, connected, free and cofree Hopf algebra is always self-dual; then that two graded, connected, free and cofree Hopf algebras are isomorphic if, and only if, they have the same Poincar\'e-Hilbert formal series. If the characteristic of the base field is zero, we prove that the Lie algebra of the primitive elements of such an object is free, and we deduce a characterization of the formal series of free and cofree Hopf algebras by a condition of growth of the coefficients. We finally show that two graded, connected, free and cofree Hopf algebras are isomorphic as (non graded) Hopf algebras if, and only if, the Lie algebra of their primitive elements have the same number of generators.Comment: 22 pages.
