We explain how a version of Floer homology can be used as an invariant of symplectic manifolds with $b_1>0$. As a concrete example, we look at four-manifolds produced from braids by a surgery construction. The outcome shows that the…
We extend the structure of string topology from mapping spaces to embedding spaces $Emb(S^n,M)$. This extension comes from an action of the cleavage operad, a coloured $E_{n+1}$-operad. For all values of $n \in \mathbb{N}$, this gives an…
We apply the effective integration theory of Lie-graph algebras, developed recently by the authors, to the deformation and homotopy theories of types of bialgebras, that is structures controlled by a properad, like associative bialgebras,…
In this paper, Lie super-bialgebra structures on a class of generalized super $W$-algebra $\mathfrak{L}$ are investigated. By proving the first cohomology group of $\mathfrak{L}$ with coefficients in its adjoint tensor module is trivial,…

Turaev and Turner introduced a bijection between unoriented topological quantum field theories and extended Frobenius algebras. In this paper, we will show that there exists a bijective correspondence between unoriented (1 + 1)-dimensional…
We study linear Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) quantization, which is a derived and shifted version of the Weyl quantization of symplectic vector spaces. Using a variety of homotopical machinery, we implement this construction as a symmetric…
We give a new short proof that the wheeled operad of unimodular Lie algebras is Koszul and use this to explicitly construct its minimal resolution. A representation of this resolution in a finite dimensional vector space V we call a…
We study topological and integrable aspects of $\hat{c}=1$ strings. We consider the circle line theories 0A and 0B at particular radii, and the super affine theories at their self-dual radii. We construct their ground rings, identify them…
A new class of infinite dimensional simple Lie algebras over a field with characteristic 0 are constructed. These are examples of non-graded Lie algebras. The isomorphism classes of these Lie algebras are determined. The structure space of…
We connect the homotopy type of simplicial moduli spaces of algebraic structures to the cohomology of their deformation complexes. Then we prove that under several assumptions, mapping spaces of algebras over a monad in an appropriate…
We show Koszulness of the prop governing involutive Lie bialgebras and also of the props governing non-unital and unital-counital Frobenius algebras, solving a long-standing problem. This gives us minimal models for their deformation…
This paper is an exposition of the new subject of String Topology. We present an introduction to this exciting new area, as well as a survey of some of the latest developments, and our views about future directions of research. We begin…
A VB-algebroid is essentially defined as a Lie algebroid object in the category of vector bundles. There is a one-to-one correspondence between VB-algebroids and certain flat Lie algebroid superconnections, up to a natural notion of…
For the associative algebra $A(\mathfrak g)$ of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, we introduce twisted fiber bundles over arbitrary compact topological spaces. Fibers of such bundles are given by elements of algebraic…
Recently, Ozsv\'ath and Szab\'o introduced some algebraic constructions computing knot Floer homology in the spirit of bordered Floer homology, including a family of algebras B(n) and, for a generator of the braid group on n strands, a…
We investigate Lie bialgebra structures on simple Lie algebras of non-split type $A$. It turns out that there are several classes of such Lie bialgebra structures, and it is possible to classify some of them. The classification is obtained…
A A BV algebra and a QP-structure of degree 3 is formulated. A QP-structure of degree 3 gives rise to Lie algebroids up to homotopy and its algebraic and geometric structure is analyzed. A new algebroid is constructed, which derives a new…
Let $M$ be an exact symplectic manifold with contact type boundary such that $c_1(M)=0$. In this paper we show that the cyclic cohomology of the Fukaya category of $M$ has the structure of an involutive Lie bialgebra. Inspired by a work of…
We use closed geodesics to construct and compute Bott-type Morse homology groups for the energy functional on the loop space of flat $n$-dimensional tori, $n\ge 1$, and Bott-type Floer cohomology groups for their cotangent bundles equipped…
