1.7.4. Dendriform algebras

Оглавление

A dendriform algebra (Loday 2001) over the field k is a k-vector space A endowed with two bilinear operations, denoted ≺ and ≻ and called right and left products, respectively, subject to the three axioms below:

[1.119]

[1.120]

[1.121]

We readily verify that these relations yield associativity for the product

[1.122]

However, at the same time-ordering, the dendriform relations imply that the bilinear product ⊳ defined by:

[1.123]

is left pre-Lie. The associative operation * and the pre-Lie operation ⊳ define the same Lie bracket, and this is, of course, still true for the opposite (right) pre-Lie product ⊲:


In the commutative case (commutative dendriform algebras are also named Zinbiel algebras (Loday 1995, 2001), the left and right operations are further required to identify, so that ab = ba. In this case, both pre-Lie products vanish. A natural example of a commutative dendriform algebra is given by the shuffle algebra in terms of half-shuffles (Schützenberger 1958/1959). Any associative algebra A equipped with a linear integral-like map I : AA satisfying the integration by parts rule also gives a dendriform algebra, when ab := aI (b) and ab := I(a)b. The left pre-Lie product is then given by ab = [I(a), b]. It is worth mentioning that Zinbiel algebras are also NAP algebras, as shown by the computation below (dating back to Schützenberger (1958/1959)):


There also exists a twisted version of dendriform algebras, encompassing operators like the Jackson integral Iq (Ebrahimi-Fard and Manchon 2011). Returning to ordinary dendriform algebras, we observe that:

[1.124]

This identity generalizes to any number of elements, expressing the symmetrization of


in terms of the associative product and the left pre-Lie product (Ebrahimi-Fard et al. 2008). For more on dendriform algebras and the associated pre-Lie structures, see Ebrahimi-Fard et al. (2008), Ebrahimi-Fard and Manchon (2009a, 2009b, 2011) and Ebrahimi-Fard’s note in the present volume.
