This is for the "Conference on Combinatorics and Physics", March 19-23, 2007. My contribution, with Christophe Tollu, is the following: Title : Sweedler's duals and Schützenberger's calculus Gérard H. E. Duchamp, Christophe Tollu Abstract : We describe the problem of Sweedler's duals for bialgebras as essentially characterizing the domain of the transpose of the multiplication. This domain is the set of what could be called ``representative linear forms'' which are the elements of the algebraic dual which are also representative on the multiplicative semigroup of the algebra. I will (maybe with my colleague) also possibly (we were two speakers, please tell me if it is OK) contribute a short note "On the use of rational expressions in Combinatorial Physics". Abstract : In a joint work with J. Katriel, one of us gave the solution of the problem of matrix coefficients in the Fock space of carriers between two levels. We give here a complete proof of these continued fractions-type formulas and possible extensions of the method. Best regards Gérard H. E. Duchamp
