The resulting structure can be presented in purely algebraic terms, as a groupoid scheme over $Z$ defined by a coaction of this Hopf algebra on the ring of noncommutative symmetric functions. We sketch some applications to symplectic toric manifolds, combinatorics of simplicial spheres, and statistical mechanics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-31T16:15:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16Txx", "55N22", "82B30" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic topology", "renormalization groupoids", "richters noncommutative complex cobordism spectrum", "hopf algebra", "symplectic toric manifolds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
