Abstract

We describe various combinatorial aspects of the Birkhoff–Connes–Kreimer factorization in perturbative renormalization. The analog of Bogoliubov’s preparation map on the Lie algebra of Feynman graphs is identified with the pre-Lie Magnus expansion. Our results apply to any connected filtered Hopf algebra, based on the pro-nilpotency of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal characters.
