Lie groups of controlled characters of combinatorial Hopf algebras (Q826435)

A theory of controlled characters of a combinatorial Hopf algebras is introduced, given subgroups of the groups of characters. The model is the tame Butcher group, seen as a subgroup of the Butcher-Connes-Kreimer group. A combinatorial Hopf algebra is here a graded connected Hopf algebra, isomorphic to a polynomial algebra, with a particular basis, and the characters take their value in a fixed Banach algebra. A controlled character satisfies a growth condition given by a particular bound. If this bound is compatible with the combinatorial structure of the Hopf algebra, then the set of controlled characters is a subgroup of the group of all characters. It is proved that the group of controlled characters is an infinite-dimensional Lie group and that the underlying group is the Lie algebra of infinitesimal controlled characters. When the Hopf algebra is right-handed, it is shown that the group of controlled characters is regular in Milnor's sense.
