Algebraic structures associated to operads

Abstract

We study different algebraic structures associated to an operad and their relations: to any operad $\mathbf{P}$ is attached a bialgebra,the monoid of characters of this bialgebra, the underlying pre-Lie algebra and its enveloping algebra; all of them can be explicitely describedwith the help of the operadic composition. non-commutative versions are also given. We denote by $b\_\infty$ the operad of $b\_\infty$ algebras, describing all Hopf algebra structures on a symmetric coalgebra.If there exists an operad morphism from $b\_\infty$ to $\mathbf{P}$, a pair $(A,B)$ of cointeracting bialgebras is also constructed, that it to say:$B$ is a bialgebra, and $A$ is a graded Hopf algebra in the category of $B$-comodules. Most examples of such pairs (on oriented graphs, posets$\dots$) known in the literature are shown to be obtained from an operad; colored versions of these examples andother ones, based on Feynman graphs, are introduced and compared.
