Acyclic Complexes Related to Noncommutative Symmetric Functions

F. Bergeron and D. Krob

DOI: 10.1023/A:1008622519966

Abstract

In this paper, we show how to endow the algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions with a natural structure of cochain complex which strongly relies on the combinatorics of ribbons, and we prove that the corresponding complexes are acyclic.
