International audience The multiplihedra $\mathcal{M}_{\bullet} = (\mathcal{M}_n)_{n \geq 1}$ form a family of polytopes originating in the study of higher categories and homotopy theory. While the multiplihedra may be unfamiliar to the algebraic combinatorics community, it is nestled between two families of polytopes that certainly are not: the permutahedra $\mathfrak{S}_{\bullet}$ and associahedra $\mathcal{Y}_{\bullet}$. The maps $\mathfrak{S}_{\bullet} \twoheadrightarrow \mathcal{M}_{\bullet} \twoheadrightarrow \mathcal{Y}_{\bullet}$ reveal several new Hopf structures on tree-like objects nestled between the Hopf algebras $\mathfrak{S}Sym$ and $\mathcal{Y}Sym$. We begin their study here, showing that $\mathcal{M}Sym$ is a module over $\mathfrak{S}Sym$ and a Hopf module over $\mathcal{Y}Sym$. An elegant description of the coinvariants for $\mathcal{M}Sym$ over $\mathcal{Y}Sym$ is uncovered via a change of basis-using Möbius inversion in posets built on the $1$-skeleta of $\mathcal{M}_{\bullet}$. Our analysis uses the notion of an $\textit{interval retract}$ that should be of independent interest in poset combinatorics. It also reveals new families of polytopes, and even a new factorization of a known projection from the associahedra to hypercubes. Les multiplièdres $\mathcal{M}_{\bullet} = (\mathcal{M}_n)_{n \geq 1}$ forment une famille de polytopes en provenant de l'étude des catégories supérieures et de la théorie de l'homotopie. Tandis que les multiplihèdres sont peu connus dans la communauté de la combinatoire algébrique, ils sont nichés entre deux familles des polytopes qui sont bien connus: les permutahèdres $\mathfrak{S}_{\bullet}$ et les associahèdres $\mathcal{Y}_{\bullet}$. Les morphismes $\mathfrak{S}_{\bullet} \twoheadrightarrow \mathcal{M}_{\bullet} \twoheadrightarrow \mathcal{Y}_{\bullet}$ dévoilent plusieurs nouvelles structures de Hopf sur les arbres binaires entre les algèbres de Hopf $\mathfrak{S}Sym$ et $\mathcal{Y}Sym$. Nous commençons son étude ici, en démontrant que $\mathcal{M}Sym$ est un module sur $\mathfrak{S}Sym$ et un module de Hopf sur $\mathcal{Y}Sym$. Une description élégante des coinvariants de $\mathcal{M}Sym$ sur $\mathcal{Y}Sym$ est trouvée par moyen d'une change de base―en utilisant une inversion de Möbius dans certains posets construits sur le $1$-squelette de $\mathcal{M}_{\bullet}$. Notre analyse utilise la notion d'$\textit{interval retract}$, qui devrait être intéressante par soi-même dans la théorie des ensembles partiellement ordonnés. Notre analyse donne lieu également à des nouvelles familles des polytopes, et même une nouvelle factorisation d'une projection connue des associahèdres aux hypercubes.

International audience Generalizing the connection between the classes of the sylvester congruence and the binary trees, we show that the classes of the congruence of the weak order on Sn defined as the transitive closure of the rewriting rule UacV1b1 ···VkbkW ≡k UcaV1b1 ···VkbkW, for letters a < b1,...,bk < c and words U,V1,...,Vk,W on [n], are in bijection with acyclic k-triangulations of the (n + 2k)-gon, or equivalently with acyclic pipe dreams for the permutation (1,...,k,n + k,...,k + 1,n + k + 1,...,n + 2k). It enables us to transport the known lattice and Hopf algebra structures from the congruence classes of ≡k to these acyclic pipe dreams, and to describe the product and coproduct of this algebra in terms of pipe dreams. Moreover, it shows that the fan obtained by coarsening the Coxeter fan according to the classes of ≡k is the normal fan of the corresponding brick polytope

International audience We study permutation patterns from an algebraic combinatorics point of view. Using analogues of the classical shuffle and infiltration products for word, we define two new Hopf algebras of permutations related to the notion of permutation pattern. We show several remarkable properties of permutation patterns functions, as well their occurrence in other domains.

International audience In a first part, we formalize the construction of combinatorial Hopf algebras from plactic-like monoids using polynomial realizations. Thank to this construction we reveal a lattice structure on those combinatorial Hopf algebras. As an application, we construct a new combinatorial Hopf algebra on binary trees with multiplicities and use it to prove a hook length formula for those trees. Dans une première partie, nous formalisons la construction d’algèbres de Hopf combinatoires à partir d’une réalisation polynomiale et de monoïdes de type monoïde plaxique. Grâce à cette construction, nous mettons à jour une structure de treillis sur ces algèbres de Hopf combinatoires. Comme application, nous construisons une nouvelle algèbre de Hopf sur des arbres binaires à multiplicités et on l’utilise pour démontrer une formule des équerressur ces arbres.

International audience We show that the # product of binary trees introduced by Aval and Viennot (2008) is in fact defined at the level of the free associative algebra, and can be extended to most of the classical combinatorial Hopf algebras. Nous montrons que le produit # introduit par Aval et Viennot (2008) est défini au niveau de l'algèbre associative libre, et peut être étendu à la plupart des algèbres de Hopf combinatoires classiques.

International audience The b-chromatic number of a graph G is defined as the maximum number k of colors that can be used to color the vertices of G, such that we obtain a proper coloring and each color i, with 1 ≤ i≤ k, has at least one representant x_i adjacent to a vertex of every color j, 1 ≤ j ≠ i ≤ k. In this paper, we discuss the b-chromatic number of some power graphs. We give the exact value of the b-chromatic number of power paths and power complete binary trees, and we bound the b-chromatic number of power cycles.

International audience We consider a Hopf algebra of simplicial complexes and provide a cancellation-free formula for its antipode. We then obtain a family of combinatorial Hopf algebras by defining a family of characters on this Hopf algebra. The characters of these Hopf algebras give rise to symmetric functions that encode information about colorings of simplicial complexes and their $f$-vectors. We also use characters to give a generalization of Stanley’s $(-1)$-color theorem. Nous considérons une algèbre de Hopf de complexes simpliciaux et fournissons une formule sans multiplicité pour son antipode. On obtient ensuite une famille d'algèbres de Hopf combinatoires en définissant une famille de caractères sur cette algèbre de Hopf. Les caractères de ces algèbres de Hopf donnent lieu à des fonctions symétriques qui encode de l’information sur les coloriages du complexe simplicial ainsi que son vecteur-$f$. Nousallons également utiliser des caractères pour donner une généralisation du théorème $(-1)$ de Stanley.

International audience Goulden and Jackson (1996) introduced, using Jack symmetric functions, some multivariate generating series ψ(x, y, z; t, 1 + β) that might be interpreted as a continuous deformation of the rooted hypermap generating series. They made the following conjecture: coefficients of ψ(x, y, z; t, 1+β) are polynomials in β with nonnegative integer coefficients. We prove partially this conjecture, nowadays called b-conjecture, by showing that coefficients of ψ(x, y, z; t, 1 + β) are polynomials in β with rational coefficients. Until now, it was only known that they are rational functions of β. A key step of the proof is a strong factorization property of Jack polynomials when α → 0 that may be of independent interest.

Abstract We establish, in the setting of equivariant motivic homotopy theory for a finite group, a version of tom Dieck’s splitting theorem for the fixed points of a suspension spectrum. Along the way we establish structural results and constructions for equivariant motivic homotopy theory of independent interest. This includes geometric fixed-point functors and the motivic Adams isomorphism.

International audience We present a beautiful interplay between combinatorial topology and homological algebra for a class of monoids that arise naturally in algebraic combinatorics. We explore several applications of this interplay. For instance, we provide a new interpretation of the Leray number of a clique complex in terms of non-commutative algebra.
