Abstract: We consider three a priori totally different setups for Hopf algebras from number theory, mathematical physics and algebraic topology. These are the Hopf algebra of Goncharov for multiple zeta values, that of Connes-Kreimer for renormalization, and a Hopf algebra constructed by Baues to study double loop spaces. We show that these examples can be successively unified by considering simplicial objects, co-operads with multiplication and Feynman categories at the ultimate level. These considerations open the door to new constructions and reinterpretations of known constructions in a large common framework, which is presented step-by-step with examples throughout. In this first part of two papers, we concentrate on the simplicial and operadic aspects.

Review text

This paper exhibits three known constructions of Hopf algebras from different mathematical fields as special cases of a general construction of Hopf algebras using the theory of operads. The three known constructions are: \begin{itemize} \item Goncharov's Hopf algebra of iterated integrals representing multiple zeta values [\textit{A. B. Goncharov}, Duke Math. J. 128, No. 2, 209--284 (2005; Zbl 1095.11036)] and variations of it; \item Connes-Kreimer's renormalization Hopf algebra for rooted forests [\textit{A. Connes} and \textit{D. Kreimer}, Commun. Math. Phys. 199, No. 1, 203--242 (1998; Zbl 0932.16038)] and variations of it; and \item Baues' Hopf algebra for double loop spaces [\textit{H. J. Baues}, Compos. Math. 43, 331--341 (1981; Zbl 0478.57027)]. \end{itemize} The general construction is carried out in stages. Functors from suitable categories of co-operads to categories of bialgebras are constructed, both in the setting of symmetric and non-symmetric operads. Conditions on a co-operad for the corresponding bialgebra to admit a natural Hopf algebra quotient are proved. Additionally, a theory of \(q\)-deformations for such Hopf algebras is discussed. As a generalization, co-operads with a multiplication are introduced which allow the construction of generalized functors to categories of bialgebras such that the choice of a free multiplicative structure recovers the bialgebras mentioned above. As an important special case, co-operads stemming from simplicial objects are considered. In particular, Goncharov's Hopf algebra is recovered in this way. The paper at hand is the first part in a series of two papers. It is commented that the theory can be further generalized in the realm of Feynman categories, which is the topic of the second part [\textit{I. Gálvez-Carrillo} et al., Commun. Number Theory Phys. 14, No. 1, 91--169 (2020; Zbl 1486.18032)].
