The Thom-Sebastiani theorem for the Euler characteristic of cyclic L-infinity algebras
Abstract
Let be a cyclic -algebra of dimension with finite dimensional cohomology only in dimension one and two. By transfer theorem there exists a cyclic -algebra structure on the cohomology . The inner product plus the higher products of the cyclic -algebra defines a superpotential function on . We associate with an analytic Milnor fiber for the formal function and define the Euler characteristic of is to be the Euler characteristic of the \'etale cohomology of the analytic Milnor fiber. In this paper we prove a Thom-Sebastiani type formula for the Euler characteristic of cyclic -algebras. As applications we prove the Joyce-Song formulas about the Behrend function identities for semi-Schur objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves over Calabi-Yau threefolds. A motivic Thom-Sebastiani type formula and a conjectural motivic Joyce-Song formulas for the motivic Milnor fiber of cyclic -algebras are also discussed.
