A rooted-trees q-series lifting a one-parameter family of Lie idempotents
arXiv:0807.1830
Abstract
We define and study a series indexed by rooted trees and with coefficients in Q(q). We show that it is related to a family of Lie idempotents. We prove that this series is a q-deformation of a more classical series and that some of its coefficients are Carlitz q-Bernoulli numbers.
