We construct an algebraic model for the Chas-Sullivan product and the Goresky-Hingston coproduct in string topology. The construction takes as its initial input a simplicial complex equipped with a local pairing on its simplicial chains,…

Let $M$ be a closed simply connected smooth manifold. Let $\F_p$ be the finite field with $p$ elements where $p> 0$ is a prime integer. Suppose that $M$ is an $\F_p$-elliptic space in the sense of [FHT91]. We prove that if the cohomology…

We revisit Stasheff's construction of a minimal Lie-Quillen model of a simply-connected closed manifold $M$ using the language of infinity-algebras. This model is then used to construct a graded Lie bracket on the equivariant homology of…

The vector space of holomorphic polyvector fields on any complex manifold has a natural Gerstenhaber algebra structure. In this paper, we study BV operators of the Gerstenhaber algebras of holomorphic polyvector fields on smooth compact…

In this expository paper we discuss a project regarding the string topology of a manifold, that was inspired by recent work of Moore-Segal, Costello, and Hopkins and Lurie, on "open-closed topological conformal field theories". Given a…

The purpose of this article is to embed the string topology bracket developed by Chas-Sullivan and Menichi on negative cyclic cohomology groups as well as the dual bracket found by de Thanhoffer de Voelcsey-Van den Bergh on negative cyclic…

Let $M$ be any simply-connected Gorenstein space over any field. F\'elix and Thomas have extended to simply-connected Gorenstein spaces, the loop (co)products of Chas and Sullivan on the homology of the free loop space $H_*(LM)$. We…

We introduce the concept of a quantum BV $\mathcal{L}_{\infty}$-algebra and study fundamental properties. In particular, we investigate homotopy Lie theoretic structures that naturally arise in the context of Chern-Simons theory. Of note,…

We extend the definition of tridendriform bialgebra by introducing a weight q. The subspace of primitive elements of a q-tridendriform bialgebra is equipped with an associative product and a natural structure of brace algebra, related by a…

We study the string topology of a closed oriented Riemannian manifold M. We describe a compact moduli space of diagrams, and show how the cellular chain complex of this space gives algebraic operations on the singular chains of the free…

We observe that a system of irreducible, fiber-linear, first class constraints on T*M is equivalent to the definition of a foliation Lie algebroid over M. The BFV formulation of the constrained system is given by the Hamiltonian lift of the…

In the study of the Type II superstring, it is useful to consider the BRST complex associated to the sum of two pure spinors. The cohomology of this complex is an infinite-dimensional vector space. It is also a finite-dimensional algebra…

$\Gamma$-structures are weak forms of multiplications on closed oriented manifolds. As shown by Hopf the rational cohomology algebras of manifolds admitting $\Gamma$-structures are free over odd degree generators. We prove that this…

Let $A$ be a commutative semisimple Banach algebra, $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff topological space and $G$ be a locally compact topological group. In this paper, we investigate several properties of vector valued Banach algebras…

In this paper, first we show that $(\g,[\cdot,\cdot],\alpha)$ is a hom-Lie algebra if and only if $(\Lambda \g^*,\alpha^*,d)$ is an $(\alpha^*,\alpha^*)$-differential graded commutative algebra. Then, we revisit representations of hom-Lie…

Using factorization homology, we realize the rational homology of the unordered configuration spaces of an arbitrary manifold $M$, possibly with boundary, as the homology of a Lie algebra constructed from the compactly supported cohomology…

Stasheff's $A(\infty)$-algebra $(M,\{m_i:\otimes^iM\to M, i=1,2,3,...\})$ in fact is a DG-algebra $(M,m_1,m_2)$ with not necessarily associative product $m_2$ but this nonassociativity is measured by higher homotopies $m_{i>2}$.…

We describe the topological Hochschild homology of ring spectra that arise as Thom spectra for loop maps f: X->BF, where BF denotes the classifying space for stable spherical fibrations. To do this, we consider symmetric monoidal models of…

The fivebrane in M-theory comes equipped with a higher order gauge field which should have a formulation in terms of a 2-gerbe on the fivebrane. One can pose the question if the BV-quantization scheme for such a higher order gauge theory…

We study morphisms between commutative $BV_\infty$ algebras and show that, under suitable additional assumptions, a quasi-isomorphism of commutative $BV_\infty$ algebras induces an identification of $\frac{\infty}{2}$-variations of Hodge…
