A key tool is provided by a new labeling of the maximal chains of a poset of shuffles, which is also used to give bijective proofs of enumerative properties originally obtained by Greene. In addition we define a monoid of multiplicative functions on all posets of shuffles and describe this monoid in terms of a new operation on power series in two variables.34 pages, 6 figuresCombinatorics05A15 (Primary) 05E05, 05E25 (Secondary)Flag-symmetry of the poset of shuffles and a local action of the symmetric grouptext
