Tridendriform Structures

Abstract

Inspired by the work of J-L. Loday and M. Ronco, we build free tridendriform algebras over reduced trees, and we show that they have a coproduct satisfying some compatibilities with the tridendriform products. Its graded dual is the opposite bialgebra of TSym introduced by N. Bergeron et al., which is described by the lightning splitting of a tree. In particular, we can split the product into three pieces and the coproduct into two pieces with Hopf compatibilities. We generate its codendriform primitives and count its coassociative primitives thanks to L. Foissy's work.
