Abstract: We demonstrate that the fundamental algebraic structure underlying the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra -- the insertion pre-Lie structure on graphs -- corresponds directly to the canonical pre-Lie structure of polynomial vector fields. Using this fact, we construct a Hopf algebra built from tensors that is isomorphic to a version of the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra that first appeared in the perturbative renormalization of quantum field theories.

Review text

An alternative description of the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra of Feynman graphs is constructed. First, on the dual level, one constructs a pre-Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields, invariant under the action of an orthogonal group. It is proved that it contains a pre-Lie subalgebra isomorphic to the pre-Lie algebra of Feynman graphs, with the help of chord diagrams. Dually, one obtains a description of the Hopf algebra of Feynman graphs in terms of tensors.
