We deduce from the work of Chen, that the restriction morphism from closed free iterated integrals to closed iterated integrals on loops is onto. We use this to show that the module of higher order invariants of smooth functions is…
Chen's iterated integrals may be generalized by interpolation of functions of the positive integer number of times which particular forms are iterated in integrals along specific paths, to certain complex values. These generalized iterated…
We give a definition of higher dimensional iterated integrals based on integration over membranes. We prove basic properties of this definition and formulate a conjecture which extends Chen's de Rham Theorem for iterated integrals to the…
In this article we discuss a relation between the string topology and differential forms based on the theory of Chen's iterated integrals and the cyclic bar complex.
A simplicial analogy of Chen's iterated integral was introduced in another paper. However, its properties were hardly investigated in the paper. In particular, no mention is made of whether it coincides with Chen's iterated integral as a…
The algebraic structure of iterated integrals has been encoded by Chen. Formally, it identifies with the shuffle and Lie calculus of Lyndon, Ree and Sch\"utzenberger. It is mostly incorporated in the modern theory of free Lie algebras.…
We present the theory of higher order invariants and higher order automorphic forms in the simplest case, that of a compact quotient. In this case many things simplify and we are thus able to prove a more precise structure theorem than in…
In this paper we introduce a certain space of higher order modular forms of weight 0 and show that it has a Hodge structure coming from the geometry of the fundamental group of a modular curve. This generalizes the usual structure on…
K.T. Chen showed that iterated integrals give comparison isomorphisms between the cohomologies of bar complexes and fundamental group rings. This led to the development of an algebraic-geometric approach to studying periods given by…
Chen's iterated integrals are treated within synthetic differential geometry. The main result is that iterated integrals produce a subcomplex of the de Rham complex on the free path space as well as based path spaces.
We construct an explicit family of modular iterated integrals which involves cusp forms. This leads to a new method of producing "invariant versions" of iterated integrals of modular forms. The construction will be based on an extension of…
Let X be a simply connected Riemannian manifold. Until now, quantitative topology has used Sullivan's rational homotopy theory as the bridge between geometric information on X and torsion-free homotopy theoretic information on X. In this…
We construct bi-invariant total orderings of residually torsion-free nilpotent groups by using Chen's iterated integrals. This construction can be seen as a generalization of the Magnus ordering of the free groups, and equivalent to the…
We prove a filtered version of the Homotopy Transfer Theorem which gives an A-infinity algebra structure on any page of the spectral sequence associated to a filtered dg-algebra. We then develop various applications to the study of the…
We construct bases for the spaces of higher order modular forms of all orders and weights. We also provide a cohomological interpretation of these forms.
We extend the notion of regularized integrals introduced by Li-Zhou that aims to assign finite values to divergent integrals on configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces. We then give cohomological formulations for the extended notion using…
In this article we introduce algorithms which compute iterations of Gauss-Manin connections, Picard-Fuchs equations of Abelian integrals and mixed Hodge structure of affine varieties of dimension $n$ in terms of differential forms. In the…
A general structure theorem on higher order invariants is proven. For an arithmetic group, the structure of the corresponding Hecke module is determined. It is shown that the module does not contain any irreducible submodule. This explains…
We develop the theory of mixed finite elements in terms of special inverse systems of complexes of differential forms, defined over cellular complexes. Inclusion of cells corresponds to pullback of forms. The theory covers for instance…
In this paper a theory of Hecke operators for higher order modular forms is established. The definition of cusp forms and attached L-functions is extended beyond the realm of parabolic invariants. The role of representation theoretic…
