Deformations of Algebras: Twisting and Perturbations

Abstract. The framework used to prove the multiplicative deformation of the algebra of Feynman-Bender diagrams is a twisted shifted dual law (in fact, doubly twisted). We give here a clear interpretation of its two parameters. The crossing parameter is a deformation of the tensor structure, whereas the superposition parameter is a perturbation of the shuffle coproduct which, in its turn, can be interpreted as the diagonal restriction of a superproduct. Here, we systematically explain these constructions in detail.
