Abstract

We prove that the bar construction of an E∞ algebra forms an E∞ algebra. To be more precise, we provide the bar construction of an algebra over the surjection operad with the structure of a Hopf algebra over the Barratt-Eccles operad. (The surjection operad and the Barratt-Eccles operad are classical E∞ operads.)
