Double shuffle relations and double antipodes
In this note, we prove that for every Lie series $\psi$ with no terms of degree less than 3, the relation $$[\psi(x,y),x]+[\psi(-x-y,y),-x-y]=0$$ is equivalent to $S_*(\psi_*)=-\psi_*$, where $\psi_*$ denotes the regularization of $\psi$ and $S_*$ is the harmonic antipode. The proof relies on the calculations of the harmonic antipode $S_*$ and the shuffle antipode $S$. As a consequence, we prove that every $\psi$ in Racinet's double shuffle Lie algebra $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ satisfies the relation $[\psi(x,y),x]+[\psi(-x-y,y),-x-y]=0$. We further prove that $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ injects into the symmetric Kashiwara--Vergne Lie algebra $\mathfrak{krv}^{\mathrm{sym}}_2$ of Alekseev and Torossian.
