Lie algebras associated to systems of Dyson–Schwinger equations

We consider systems of combinatorial Dyson–Schwinger equations in the Connes–Kreimer Hopf algebra HI of rooted trees decorated by a set I. Let H(S) be the subalgebra of HI generated by the homogeneous components of the unique solution of this system. If it is a Hopf subalgebra, we describe it as the dual of the enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra g(S) of one of the following types:

• 1. 

  g(S) is an associative algebra of paths associated to a certain oriented graph.

• 2. 

  Or g(S) is an iterated extension of the Faà di Bruno Lie algebra.

• 3. 

  Or g(S) is an iterated extension of an infinite-dimensional abelian Lie algebra.

We also describe the character groups of H(S).     

On extensions of compact positive operators on Banach lattices

Extension properties of compact positive operators on Banach lattices are investigated. The following results are obtained:

• 1. 

  (1) Any compact positive operator (any compact lattice homomorphism, resp.) from a majorizing sublattice G of a Banach lattice E into another Banach lattice F can be extended to a compact positive operator (a compact lattice homomorphism, resp.) from E into F;

• 2. 

  (2) Any compact positive operator defined on a closed majorizing sublattice G of a Banach lattice E has a compact positive extension on E that preserves the spectrum (a necessary modification is needed).

Related extension problems are also studied.
