Noncommutative symmetric functions III: Deformations of Cauchy and convolution algebras
This paper discusses various deformations of free associative algebras and of their convolution algebras. Our main examples are deformations of noncommutative symmetric functions related to families of idempotents in descent algebras, and a simple q-analogue of the shuffle product, which has u...
