Abstract

We study different algebraic structures associated to an operad and their relations: to any operad P\mathbf{P} is attached a bialgebra,the monoid of characters of this bialgebra, the underlying pre-Lie algebra and its enveloping algebra; all of them can be explicitely describedwith the help of the operadic composition. non-commutative versions are also given. We denote by b_\mathbf{b\_\infty} the operad of b_\mathbf{b\_\infty} algebras, describing all Hopf algebra structures on a symmetric coalgebra.If there exists an operad morphism from b_\mathbf{b\_\infty} to P\mathbf{P}, a pair (A,B)(A,B) of cointeracting bialgebras is also constructed, that it to say:BB is a bialgebra, and AA is a graded Hopf algebra in the category of BB-comodules. Most examples of such pairs (on oriented graphs, posets\ldots) known in the literature are shown to be obtained from an operad; colored versions of these examples andother ones, based on Feynman graphs, are introduced and compared.
