Primitive elements of the Hopf algebras of tableaux (Q1979427)

In [J. Algebra 177, No. 3, 967--982 (1995; Zbl 0838.05100)], the authors introduced two (dual) Hopf algebra structures on \({\mathbb Z}S\), the free \({\mathbb Z}\)-module on the set of all finite permutations. \textit{S. Poirier} and \textit{C. Reutenauer} [Ann. Sci. Math. Qué. 19, No. 1, 79--90 (1995; Zbl 0835.16035)] then obtained analogous Hopf algebra structures on \({\mathbb Z}T\), with \(T\) the set of all standard Young tableaux, viewing \({\mathbb Z}T\) as a quotient of \({\mathbb Z}S\) under the plactic equivalence. \textit{M. Aguiar} and \textit{F. Sottile} [Adv. Math. 191, No. 2, 225--275 (2005; Zbl 1056.05139)] determined the primitive elements of \({\mathbb Z}S\), using a Möbius inversion on the weak order of permutations. The present paper uses similar techniques to determine the primitive elements of \({\mathbb Z}T\), using a partial order on tableaux which is the transitive closure of the weak order on permutations.
