Let g be a complex reductive Lie algebra with Cartan algebra h. Hotta and Kashiwara defined a holonomic D-module M, on g x h, called Harish-Chandra module. We relate gr(M), an associated graded module with respect to a canonical Hodge…

Let $M$ be a path-connected closed oriented $d$-dimensional smooth manifold and let ${\Bbbk}$ be a principal ideal domain. By Chas and Sullivan, the shifted free loop space homology of $M$, $H_{*+d}(LM)$ is a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. Let…

The cohomology theory known as Tmf, for "topological modular forms," is a universal object mapping out to elliptic cohomology theories, and its coefficient ring is closely connected to the classical ring of modular forms. We extend this to…

We prove that the pair-of-pants product on the Floer homology of the cotangent bundle of a compact manifold M corresponds to the Chas-Sullivan loop product on the singular homology of the loop space of M. We also prove related results…

For simplicial modules, Eilenberg-Zilber's classical theorem states the existence of a product $sh : M\otimes N\to M\times N$ (the shuffle) and a coproduct $AW : M\times N\to M\otimes N$ (the Alexander-Whitney map), which are quasi-inverse…

Twenty years ago, Mumford initiated the systematic study of the cohomology ring of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. Around the same time, Harer proved that the homology of the mapping class groups of oriented surfaces is independent of…

We study a spectral sequence that computes the (mod 2) S^1-equivariant homology of the free loop space LM of a manifold M (the "string homology" of M). Using it and knowledge of the string topology operations on the homology of LM, we…

Suppose that $f\colon X\to\mathrm{Spec}\, R$ is a minimal model of a complete local Gorenstein 3-fold, where the fibres of $f$ are at most one dimensional, so by [VdB1d] there is a noncommutative ring $\Lambda$ derived equivalent to $X$.…

A chain complex model for the free loop space of a connected, closed and oriented manifold is presented, and on its homology, the Gerstenhaber and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structures are defined and identified with the string topology…

Given a principal bundle over a closed manifold, G --> P --> M, let P^{Ad} --> M be the associated adjoint bundle. Gruher and Salvatore showed that the Thom spectrum (P^{Ad})^{-TM} is a ring spectrum whose corresponding product in homology…

The Hochschild cohomology of a tensor product of algebras is isomorphic to a graded tensor product of Hochschild cohomology algebras, as a Gerstenhaber algebra. A similar result holds when the tensor product is twisted by a bicharacter. We…

For any dg algebra $A$, not necessarily commutative, and a subset $S$ in $H(A)$, the homology of $A$, we construct its derived localisation $L_S(A)$ together with a map $A\to L_S(A)$, well-defined in the homotopy category of dg algebras,…

A new construction of rings is introduced, studied, and applied. Given surjective homomorphisms $R\to T\gets S$ of local rings, and ideals in $R$ and $S$ that are isomorphic to some $T$-module $V$, the \emph{connected sum} $R#_TS$ is…

It is generally known that the holomorphic anomaly equations in topological string theory reflect the quantum mechanical nature of the topological string partition function. We present two new results which make this assertion more precise:…

We study how the combinatorial structure of the Salvetti complexes of the braid arrangements are related to homotopy theoretic properties of iterated loop spaces. We prove the skeletal filtrations on the Salvetti complexes of the braid…

In this paper we establish a connection between the loop space homology of the generalization of wedge defined by a simplicial complex K (so called polyhedral product) and the homology of certain diagonal arrangements associated with K. We…

We prove that within a natural class of E_3-algebras, the graded Tor group induced by a span of E_3-algebra maps carries a graded algebra structure generalizing the classical structure when the algebras are genuine commutative differential…

We develop a machinery of Chen iterated integrals for higher Hochschild complexes. These are complexes whose differentials are modeled on an arbitrary simplicial set much in the same way the ordinary Hochschild differential is modeled on…

Given a space with a circle action, we study certain cocyclic chain complexes and prove a theorem relating cyclic homology to $S^1$-equivariant homology, in the spirit of celebrated work of Jones. As an application, we describe a chain…

Let $G$ be a group and $S$ a unital epsilon-strongly $G$-graded algebra. We construct spectral sequences converging to the Hochschild (co)homology of $S$. Each spectral sequence is expressed in terms of the partial group (co)homology of $G$…
