W. Goldman and V. Turaev defined a Lie bialgebra structure on the $\mathbb Z$-module generated by free homotopy classes of loops of an oriented surface (i.e. the conjugacy classes of its fundamental group). We develop a generalization of…
The Gerstenhaber and Schack cohomology comparison theorem asserts that there is a cochain equivalence between the Hochschild complex of a certain algebra and the usual singular cochain complex of a space. We show that this comparison…
Many important theorems in differential topology relate properties of manifolds to properties of their underlying homotopy types -- defined e.g. using the total singular complex or the \v{C}ech nerve of a good open cover. Upon embedding the…
This presentation is the sequel of a paper published in GETCO'00 proceedings where a research program to construct an appropriate algebraic setting for the study of deformations of higher dimensional automata was sketched. This paper…
This mostly expository paper records some basic facts about towers of homotopy fiber sequences. We give a proof that a pairing of towers induces a pairing of associated spectral sequences, for towers of spaces and towers of spectra.
Like the LR-tableau, a socle tableau is given as a skew diagram with certain entries. Unlike in the LR-tableau, the entries in the socle tableau are weakly increasing in each row, strictly increasing in each column and satisfy a modified…
We solve the differentiation problem for Lie $\infty$-groups. Our approach builds on a classical version of Cartier duality which canonically identifies the Hopf algebra of point distributions supported at the identity of a Lie group with…
We construct reflection functors for quiver Hecke algebras associated with arbitrary symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras, from a higher representation-theoretic viewpoint. These functors provide a categorification of Lusztig's braid group…
For every stable presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$ we use the Koszul duality between the spectral Lie operad and the cocommutative cooperad to construct an enveloping Hopf algebra functor $\mathcal{U}:…
We discuss a new approach to computing the standard algebraic operations on homotopy classes of loops in surfaces: the homological intersection number, Goldman's Lie bracket, and the author's Lie cobracket. Our approach uses fillings of the…
The homotopy category of a model structure on a weakly idempotent complete additive category is proved to be equivalent to the additive quotient of the category of cofibrant-fibrant objects with respect to the subcategory of…
Derivations extend the concept of differentiation from functions to algebraic structures as linear operators satisfying the Leibniz rule. In Lie algebras, derivations form a Lie algebra via the commutator bracket of linear endomorphisms.…
Given an adjunction connecting reasonable categories with weak equivalences, we define a new derived bar and cobar construction associated to the adjunction. This yields homotopical models of the completion and cocompletion associated to…
We classify compact 2-connected homogeneous spaces with the same rational cohomology as a product of spheres. This classification relies on spectral sequences, homotopy theory, and representation theory. We then apply this classification to…
An algebraic theory $T$ is a category with objects $t_0,t_2...$ such that for each $n$ the object $t_n$ is an $n$-fold categorical product of $t_1$. A strict $T$-algebra is a product preserving functor $A: T\to Spaces$. Lawvere showed that…
Given a compact manifold X, the set of simple manifold structures on X x \Delta^k relative to the boundary can be viewed as the k-th homotopy group of a space \S^s (X). This space is called the block structure space of X. We study the block…
The Grothendieck groups of the categories of finitely generated modules and finitely generated projective modules over a tower of algebras can be endowed with (co)algebra structures that, in many cases of interest, give rise to a dual pair…
We classify homotopes of classical symmetric spaces (studied in Part I of this work). Our classification uses the fibered structure of homotopes: they are fibered as symmetric spaces, with flat fibers, over a non-degenerate base; the base…
We look at two examples of homotopy Lie algebras (also known as L_{\infty} algebras) in detail from two points of view. We will exhibit the algebraic point of view in which the generalized Jacobi expressions are verified by using degree…
We construct Lie algebras of derivations (and identify their geometrical realization) whose Maurer-Cartan sets provide moduli spaces describing the classes of homotopy types of rational spaces sharing either the same homotopy Lie algebra,…
