Hopf Algebras of Graphs
arXiv:0812.3407 · doi:10.1016/j.crma.2004.09.012
Abstract
We define graded Hopf algebras with bases labeled by various types of graphs and hypergraphs, provided with natural embeddings into an algebra of polynomials in infinitely many variables. These algebras are graded by the number of edges and can be considered as generalizations of symmetric or quasi-symmetric functions.
