Gerstenhaber-Schack Bialgebras

A *Gerstenhaber-Schack (G-S) bialgebra* consists of a graded Hopf algebra $H$ together with multilinear operations $\{\omega^1_3,\omega^2_2,\omega^3_1\}\subset \{Hom^{-1}(H^{\otimes m},H^{\otimes n}): m+n=4\},$ whose sum is the degree $-1$ component of a $2$-cocycle in the G-S complex of $H$. A *G-S extension* of a graded Hopf algebra $H$ is a G-S bialgebra containing $H$. G-S extensions of $H$ are classified up to isomorphism by the degree $-1$ component of the G-S cohomology group $H_{GS}^{2}(H;H)$. We exhibit a space $X$ and a non-trivial topologically induced G-S bialgebra structure on $H^{\ast}\left( \Omega X;\mathbb{Z}_{2}\right) .$
