A Word Hopf Algebra Based on the Selection/Quotient Principle

Abstract. We define a Hopf algebra structure on the vector space spanned by packed words using a selection/quotient coproduct. We show that this algebra is free on its irreducible packed words. We also compute the Hilbert series of this Hopf algebra, and we investigate its primitive elements.
