The dual of infinitesimal unitary Hopf algebras and planar rooted forests

The dual of infinitesimal unitary Hopf algebras and planar rooted forests

We study the infinitesimal (in the sense of Joni and Rota) bialgebra $H_{RT}$ of planar rooted trees introduced in a previous work of two of the authors, whose coproduct is given by deletion of a vertex. We prove that its dual $H_{RT}^*$ is isomorphic to a free non unitary algebra, and give two free generating sets. Giving $H_{RT}$ a second product, we make it an infinitesimal bialgebra in the sense of Loday and Ronco, which allows to explicitly construct a projector onto its space of primitive elements, which freely generates $H_{RT}$.
