Abstract

We consider three a priori totally different setups for Hopf algebras from number theory, mathematical physics and algebraic topology. These are the Hopf algebra of Goncharov for multiple zeta values, that of Connes-Kreimer for renormalization, and a Hopf algebra constructed by Baues to study double loop spaces. We show that these examples can be successively unified by considering simplicial objects, co-operads with multiplication and Feynman categories at the ultimate level. These considerations open the door to new constructions and reinterpretations of known constructions in a large common framework which is presented step-by-step with examples throughout. In this second part of two papers, we give the general categorical formulation.

Highlights

  • We consider three a priori totally different setups for Hopf algebras from number theory, mathematical physics and algebraic topology

  • There are several Hopf algebras of Connes and Kreimer and variations of these which are of great interest in physics and number theory, e.g. [Bro17, Bro12]

  • The level of complexity is represented by the Connes–Kreimer Hopf algebras for renormalization defined on graphs

Summary

The general case

Given a factorization finite Feynman category F, (Biso, ⊗, η, ∆iso, iso) is a bi–algebra, both in the symmetric and the non–Σ case. For a decomposition finite (non–Σ) Feynman category the set of basic morphisms, that is objects of (F ↓ V) form a co–module, viz. A Feynman category has almost group–like identities if each of the φL and each of the φR appearing in a co–product of any idX (1.4) is an isomorphism. It is interesting to study the co–radical filtration and the ([idX], [idY ])–primitive elements in B They correspond to the generators for morphisms in Feynman categories [KW17]. This give a functor of Feynman categories enriching FS or in the planar version of FS
