Abstract

This is a short review on the Faà di Bruno formulas, implementing composition of real-analytic functions, and a Hopf algebra associated to such formulas. This structure provides, among several other things, a short proof of the Lie-Scheffers theorem, and relates the Lagrange inversion formulas with antipodes. It is also the maximal commutative Hopf subalgebra of the one used by Connes and Moscovici to study diffeomorphisms in a noncommutative geometry setting. The link of Faà di Bruno formulas with the theory of set partitions is developed in some detail.
