We prove that Szczarba's twisting cochain is comultiplicative. In particular, the induced map from the cobar construction of the chains on a 1-reduced simplicial set X to the chains on the Kan loop group of X is a quasi-isomorphism of dg…
To a marked simplicial set one can associate its path chain complex, and define its homology to be the homology of this complex, inspired by path homology theories for directed graphs, quivers, and marked categories. Given a marked…
We consider a twisting function from a 1-reduced simplicial set $X$ to a simplicial group $G$. We prove in detail that the associated Szczarba operators induce a simplicial map from the triangulation of the cubical cobar construction of $X$…
We explain how to derive an explicit formula for a natural transformation relating the (left adjoints of) the homotopy coherent nerve and the Dwyer-Kan simplicial classifying space functor. The formula is derived using a method introduced…
The primary interest of this paper is to discuss the role of twisting cochains in the theory of characteristic classes. We begin with the homological description of monodromy map, associated with a connection on a trivial bundle over a…
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…
Using the notion of truncating twisting function from a simplicial set to a cubical set a special, bitwisted, Cartesian product of these sets is defined. For the universal truncating twisting function, the (co)chain complex of the…
We give a construction of an L-infinity map from any L-infinity algebra into its truncated Chevalley-Eilenberg complex as well as its cyclic and A-infinity analogues. This map fits with the inclusion into the full Chevalley-Eilenberg…
For a tensor product of algebras twisted by a bicharacter, we completely describe its Hochschild cohomology, as a Gerstenhaber algebra, in terms of the Hochschild cohomology of its component parts. This description generalizes a result of…
We describe the Gerstenhaber bracket structure on Hochschild cohomology of Koszul quiver algebras in terms of homotopy lifting maps. There is a projective bimodule resolution of Koszul quiver algebras that admits a comultiplicative…
Alexander-Whitney and Eilenberg-Zilber maps traditionally convert between the tensor product of standard resolutions and the standard resolution of a tensor product of algebras. We examine Alexander-Whitney and Eilenberg-Zilber maps for…
We study the notion of twisting elements $da=a\cup_1a$ with respect to $\cup_1$ product when it is a part of homotopy Gerstenhaber algebra structure. This allows to bring to one context the two classical concepts, the theory of deformation…
We study the categorical homology of Zappa-Sz\'ep products of small categories, which include all self-similar actions. We prove that the categorical homology coincides with the homology of a double complex, and so can be computed via a…
In this paper we prove, with details and in full generality, that the isomorphism induced on tangent homology by the Shoikhet-Tsygan formality $L_\infty$-quasi-isomorphism for Hochschild chains is compatible with cap-products. This is a…
An automorphism $\beta$ of a $k$-graph $\Lambda$ induces a crossed product $C^* ( \Lambda ) \rtimes_\beta \mathbb{Z}$ which is isomorphic to a $(k+1)$-graph algebra $C^* ( \Lambda \times_\beta \mathbb{Z})$. In this paper we show how this…
In this paper we discuss various aspects of open-closed homotopy algebras (OCHAs) presented in our previous paper, inspired by Zwiebach's open-closed string field theory, but that first paper concentrated on the mathematical aspects. Here…
Based on Nijenhuis-Richardson bracket and bidegree on the cohomology complex for a Lie conformal algebra, we develop a twisting theory of Lie conformal algebras. By using derived bracket constructions, we construct $L_\infty$-algebras from…
We define group-twisted Alexander-Whitney and Eilenberg-Zilber maps for converting between bimodule resolutions of skew group algebras. These algebras are the natural semidirect products recording actions of finite groups by automorphisms.…
We show for a coring which is finitely generated projective as a left module that the Cartier cohomology is isomorphic to the relative Hochschild cohomology of the right algebra. Furthermore, we show that this isomorphism lifts to the level…
The paper generalizes a result of Behrend-Fantechi and Baranovsky-Ginzburg to the 1-shifted cotangent bundle $T^*X[1]$ of a smooth scheme $X$ over the field of complex numbers. We show how one can obtain twisted cotangent bundles as derived…
