We establish a new and surprisingly strong link between two previously unrelated theories: the theory of moduli spaces of curves ${\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ (which, according to Penner, is controlled by the ribbon graph complex) and the homotopy…

Let $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ be the moduli space of algebraic curves of genus $g$ with $m+n$ marked points decomposed into the disjoint union of two sets of cardinalities $m$ and $n$, and $H_c^{\bullet}(\mathcal{M}_{m+n})$ its compactly…

For any integer $d$ we introduce a prop $RHra_d$ of oriented ribbon hypergraphs (in which "edges" can connect more than two vertices) and prove that it admits a canonical morphism of props, $$ Holieb_d^\diamond \longrightarrow RHra_d, $$…

It is proven that every cohomology class of the moduli space $M_{g,m}$ for any $2g+m\geq 3$, $m\geq 1$ can be represented combinatorially by a ribbon quiver with at most four-valent vertices. The "at most four"-valency condition is sharp.

For $g\ge 2$ and $n\ge 0$, let $\mathcal{H}_{g,n}\subset \mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ denote the complex moduli stack of $n$-marked smooth hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$. A normal crossings compactification of this space is provided by the theory…

We study the deformation complex of a canonical morphism $i$ from the properad of (degree shifted) Lie bialgebras $\mathbf{Lieb}_{c,d}$ to its polydifferential version $\mathcal{D}(\mathbf{Lieb}_{c,d})$ and show that it is quasi-isomorphic…

Let $(\mathcal{C}, \otimes)$ be a monoidal dg-category. We construct a complex controlling the deformation of the monoidal structure on $\mathcal{C}$ together with the deformation of the underlying dg-category itself. We show that in the…

An example of a finite dimensional factorizable ribbon Hopf C-algebra is given by a quotient H=u_q(g) of the quantized universal enveloping algebra U_q(g) at a root of unity q of odd degree. The mapping class group M_{g,1} of a surface of…

We call a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ strongly rigid if its universal enveloping algebra $\Ug$ is rigid as an associative algebra, i.e. every formal associative deformation is equivalent to the trivial deformation.…

Let U(g) denote the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra g. We show the existence of a ribbon algebra in a particular deformation of U(g) which leads to a symmetric pre-monoidal category of U(g)-modules.

We study existence of complex structures on semidirect products $\g \oplus_{\rho} \v$ where $\g$ is a real Lie algebra and $\rho$ is a representation of $\g$ on $\v$. Our first examples, the Euclidean algebra $\e(3)$ and the Poincar\'e…

The aim of this work is to construct a cohomology theory controlling the deformations of a general Drinfel'd algebra. The task is accomplished in three steps. The first step is the construction of a modified cobar complex adapted to a…

The theory of representations of a crossed module is a direct generalization of the theory of representations of groups. For a finite group G, the Drinfeld quantum double of the group G is a Hopf algebra that represents a special case of…

If A is a bialgebra over a field k and M, N are either left-right Yetter-Drinfel'd modules or left-right Hopf modules over A, we construct deformation cohomologies H^*(M,N) as total cohomologies of certain double complexes Y(M,N) and…

We set up a cochain complex $C^\bullet_{\mathrm{mix}}(\mathcal{M})$ whose cohomology controls deformations of the mixed associator of a module category $\mathcal{M}$ over a $\Bbbk$-linear monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$. We show that…

We study the weight 2 graded piece of the compactly supported rational cohomology of the moduli spaces of curves $M_{g,n}$ and show that this can be computed as the cohomology of a graph complex that is closely related to graph complexes…

We show that the hairy graph complex $(HGC_{n,n},d)$ appears as an associated graded complex of the oriented graph complex $(OGC_{n+1},d)$, subject to the filtration on the number of targets, or equivalently sources, called the fixed source…

Suppose that g > 2, that n > 0 and that m > 0. In this paper we show that if E is an irreducible smooth variety which dominates a divisor D in M_{g,n}[m], the moduli space of n-pointed, smooth curves of genus g with a level m structure,…

In this note, we construct a family of semisimple Hopf algebras $H_{n,m}$ of dimension $n^m m!$ over a field of characteristic zero containing a primitive $n$th root of unity, where $n, m \geq 2$ are integers. The well-known…

Universal solutions to deformation quantization problems can be conveniently classified by the cohomology of suitable graph complexes. In particular, the deformation quantizations of (finite-dimensional) Poisson manifolds and Lie bialgebras…
