Antipode formulas for some combinatorial Hopf algebras (Q727208): Difference between revisions

Summary: Motivated by work of \textit{A. S. Buch} [Acta Math. 189, No. 1, 37--78 (2002; Zbl 1090.14015)] on set-valued tableaux in relation to the \(K\)-theory of the Grassmannian, \textit{T. Lam} and \textit{P. Pylyavskyy} [``Combinatorial Hopf algebras and K-homology of Grassmanians'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:0705.2189}] studied six combinatorial Hopf algebras that can be thought of as \(K\)-theoretic analogues of the Hopf algebras of symmetric functions, quasisymmetric functions, noncommutative symmetric functions, and of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer Hopf algebra of permutations. They described the bialgebra structure in all cases that were not yet known but left open the question of finding explicit formulas for the antipode maps. We give combinatorial formulas for the antipode map for the \(K\)-theoretic analogues of the symmetric functions, quasisymmetric functions, and noncommutative symmetric functions.
