The word shuffle Hopf algebra #
The combinatorial Hopf algebra of words over an alphabet α: shuffle
product, deconcatenation coproduct, and the signed-reversal antipode
S(w) = (-1)^{|w|}·wʳ. Its characters with values in R are exactly
the group-like signature series — the signatures of rough path theory
(see RoughPaths.Signature.Character for the identification) — and the
abstract character-group theory of HopfAlgebras.Combinatorial.Basic
yields their monoid and group structure.
All axioms are discharged from the word-combinatorics keystones already
in the library: shuffle_splits_perm (bialgebra compatibility),
leftSplits3_perm_rightSplits3 (coassociativity),
antipode_convolution and
shuffle_reverse_perm (the antipode identities).
The word shuffle Hopf algebra: shuffle product, deconcatenation coproduct, signed-reversal antipode. Its characters are the signatures.
