4 Outline What would be a good gift for a mathematician? What is a Combinatorial Hopf Algebra? Sym is a strong, realizable CHA with character. On strong CHA (categorification) On realizable CHA (word combinatorics and quotients). Mar 2017 Lotharingien outline

5 Combinatorial Hopf Algebra H = n 0 H n a graded connected Hopf algebra is CHA if (weak) There is a distinguished (combinatorial) basis with positive integral structure coefficients (from Hopf monoid). (strong) The structure is obtained from representation operation (from categorification). (real.) It can be realized in a space of series in variables. (it is realizable) (char.) It has a distinguished character. (with character) 1/20 Combinatorial Hopf Algebra

9 Sym is the model CHA Sym is the space of symmetric functions Z[h 1, h 2,...], with deg(h k ) = k and k (h k ) = h i h k i. i=0 It is the functorial image of a Hopf Monoid Π: For any finite set J let Π[J] = {A : A J} the set partitions of J. Product and Coproduct: combinatorial constructions on set partitions It correspond to flats of the hyperplane arrangement of type A. 3/20 Combinatorial Hopf Algebra

17 Toward Categorification Consider a graded algebra A = n 0 A n Each A n is an algebra. dim A 0 =1 and dim A n <. ρ n,m : A n A m A n+m ; injective algebra homomorphism A n+m is projective bilateral submodule of A m A m. Right and left projective structure of A n+m are compatible. There is a Mackey formula linking induction and restriction [ A is a tower of algebra ] 7/20 Combinatorial Hopf Algebra

18 Toward Categorification Consider a tower of algebras A = n 0 A n Let K 0 (A) = n 0 K 0(A n ) is the space of (projective) A n -modules up to isomorphism and modulo short exact sequences K 0 (A) is a graded Hopf algebra: M N = Ind A n+m A n A m M N M = n k=0 Res A n A k A n k M H is a strong CHA if there is an isomorphism F : K 0 (A) H 7/20 Combinatorial Hopf Algebra

20 Obstruction to Tower of algebras? Consider a tower of algebras A = n 0 A n where K 0 (A) and G 0 (A) are graded dual Hopf algebra: THEOREM[B-Lam-Li] [ if A is a tower of algebras, then dim(a n ) = r n n! ] this is very restrictive... 9/20 Combinatorial Hopf Algebra
