Abstract

Patras, Reutenauer (J. Algebr. Comb. 16:301-314, [ 2002]) describe a subalgebra \mathfrak A \mathfrak{A} of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer algebra \?. Their paper contains several characteristic properties of this subalgebra. In an unpublished manuscript Manfred Schocker states without proof a theorem, providing two further characterizations of the Patras-Reutenauer algebra. In this paper we establish a slightly generalized version of Schocker's theorem, and give some applications. Finally we describe a derivation of the convolution algebra \mathfrak A \mathfrak{A} , which is a homomorphism for the inner product.
