Order Structure on the Algebra of Permutations and of Planar Binary Trees

Jean-Louis Loday and María O. Ronco

DOI: 10.1023/A:1015064508594

Abstract

Let X n be either the symmetric group on n letters, the set of planar binary n-trees or the set of vertices of the ( n - 1)-dimensional cube. In each case there exists a graded associative product on oplus n ge0 K[ X n]. We prove that it can be described explicitly by using the weak Bruhat order on S n, the left-to-right order on planar trees, the lexicographic order in the cube case.
