We determine the rational homology of the space of long knots in R^d for $d\geq4$. Our main result is that the Vassiliev spectral sequence computing this rational homology collapses at the E^1 page. As a corollary we get that the homology…
Sinha has constructed a cosimplicial space X for a fixed integer N. One of his main result states that for N > 3, X is a cosimplicial model for the space of long knots (modulo immersions). On the other hand, Lambrechts, Turchin and Volic…
In his famous paper entitled "Operads and motives in deformation quantization", Maxim Kontsevich constructed (in order to prove the formality of the little d-disks operad) a topological operad, which is called in the literature the…
We give an explicit description up to the third page of the Sinha homology mod 2 spectral sequence for the space of long knots in $\mathbb{R}^3$, that is conjecturally equivalent to the Vassiliev spectral sequence. The description arises…
We compute some differentials of Sinha's spectral sequence for cohomology of the space of long knots modulo immersions in codimension one, mainly over a field of characteristic $2$ or $3$. This spectral sequence is closely related to…
We develop an obstruction theory for the extension of truncated minimal $A$-infinity bimodule structures over truncated minimal $A$-infinity algebras. Obstructions live in far-away pages of a (truncated) fringed spectral sequence of…
The spectral sequence constructed by V.A.Vassiliev computes the homology of the spaces of non-compact knots in ${\bf R}^d$, $d\ge 3$. In this work the first term of this spectral sequence is described in terms of the homology of the…
We provide a complete understanding of the rational homology of the space of long links of m strands in the euclidean space of dimension d > 3. First, we construct explicitly a cosimplicial chain complex whose totalization is…
We construct a spectral sequence converging to the homology of the ordered configuration spaces of a product of parallelizable manifolds. To identify the second page of this spectral sequence, we introduce a version of the Boardman--Vogt…
We study the mod-2 cohomology spectral sequence arising from delooping the Bousfield-Kan cosimplicial space giving the 2-nilpotent completion of a connective spectrum $X$. Under good conditions its $E_{2}$-term is computable as certain…
This paper is a little more detailed version of math-QA/0010017 "Sur l'homologie des espaces de n\oe uds non-compacts", where the first term of the Vassiliev spectral sequence (computing the homology of the space of long knots in ${\mathbb…
We study some formality criteria for differential graded algebras over differential graded operads. This unifies and generalizes other known approaches like the ones by Manetti and Kaledin. In particular, we construct general operadic…
In the paper we describe complexes whose homologies are naturally isomorphic to the first term of the Vassiliev spectral sequence computing (co)homology of the spaces of long knots in R^d, d>=3. The first term of the Vassiliev spectral…
In 1998 D. Tamarkin announced a proof of Kontsevich formality theorem based on the existence of structure of homotopy Gerstenhaber algebra in the Hochschild cochains of an associative algebra. In this note we give a detailed explanation of…
Operadic tangent cohomology generalizes the existing cohomology theories of Chevalley--Eilenberg, Hochschild, and Harrison to address the deformation theory of general types of algebras through gadgets known as deformation complexes. The…
We prove that the chain operad of small squares is formal. This fact clarifies situation with the proof of M. Kontsevich formality theorem in the paper of the author math.QA/9803025, revised Sept 24. The formality of the operad follows…
We study the loop and suspension functors on the category of augmented $\mathbb{E}_n$-algebras. One application is to the formality of the cochain algebra of the $n$-sphere. We show that it is formal as an $\mathbb{E}_n$-algebra, also with…
In this paper, we set up a rational homotopy theory for operads in simplicial sets whose term of arity one is not necessarily reduced to an operadic unit, extending results obtained by the author in the book "Homotopy of operads and…
This paper sets up the foundations for derived algebraic geometry, Goerss--Hopkins obstruction theory, and the construction of commutative ring spectra in the abstract setting of operadic algebras in symmetric spectra in an (essentially)…
We establish that $E_n$-operads satisfy a rational intrinsic formality theorem for $n\geq 3$. We gain our results in the category of Hopf cooperads in cochain graded dg-modules which defines a model for the rational homotopy of operads in…
