We obtain Gerstenhaber type structures on Davydov-Yetter cohomology with coefficients in half-braidings for a monoidal functor. Our approach uses a formal analogy between half-braidings of a monoidal functor and the entwining of a coalgebra…
We show that there exists a Lie a bracket on the cohomology of any type of (bi)algebras over an operad or a PROP, induced by a strongly homotopy Lie structure on the defining cochain complex, such that the associated "quantum" master…
The paper is devoted to several questions related to the notion of Cohomological Hall algebra (COHA for short) introduced few years ago by Maxim Kontsevich and the author. In particular we discuss a class of representations of COHA in the…
We compute the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg decomposition of the Hochschild cohomology of generalised Grassmannians, i.e. partial flag varieties associated to maximal parabolic subgroups in a simple algebraic group. We explain how the…
The paper constructs new Hecke endomorphism algebras with a stratified structure. A novel feature of the proof is to approach difficult Ext^1 vanishing conditions by building entire exact category structures in which the analogous vanishing…
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…
This paper realises the Khovanov homology of a link in the 3-sphere as a Lagrangian Floer cohomology group, establishing a conjecture of Seidel and the second author. The starting point is the previously established formality theorem for…
The global formality of Dolgushev depends on the choice of a torsion-free covariant derivative. We prove that the globalized formalities with respect to two different covariant derivatives are homotopic. More explicitly, we derive the…
In this paper we generalize to associative superalgebras Gerstenhaber's work on cohomology structure of an associative algebra. We introduce two multiplications U and [-,-] on the cochain complex C^*(A;A) of an associative superalgebra A.…
We provide a simple construction of a Gerstenhaber-infinity algebra structure on a class of vertex algebras V, which lifts the strict Gerstenhaber algebra structure on BRST cohomology of V introduced by Lian and Zuckerman. We outline two…
We construct the Gerstenhaber bracket on Hochschild cohomology of a twisted tensor product of algebras, and, as examples, compute Gerstenhaber brackets for some quantum complete intersections arising in work of Buchweitz, Green, Madsen, and…
We develop the details of Kontsevich's proof of the formality of little N-disks operad over the field of real numbers. Formality holds in the category of operads of chain complexes and also in some sense in the category of commutative…
We construct a functor that associates to any dg cooperad of dg commutative algebras (satisfying some conditions) an augmented commutative algebra. When applied to the cohomology operad of Francis Brown's moduli spaces it produces an…
The goal of this article is to compute the Gerstenhaber bracket of the Hochschild cohomology of the Fomin-Kirillov algebra on three generators over a field of characteristic different from $2$ and $3$. This is in part based on a general…
We extend the Kontsevich formality $L_\infty$-morphism $\U\colon T^\ndot_\poly(\R^d)\to\D^\ndot_\poly(\R^d)$ to an $L_\infty$-morphism of an $L_\infty$-modules over $T^\ndot_\poly(\R^d)$, $\hat \U\colon C_\ndot(A,A)\to\Omega^\ndot(\R^d)$,…
Given a central arrangement of lines $\mathcal{A}$ in a $2$-dimensional vector space $V$ over a field of characteristic zero, we study the algebra $\mathcal D(\mathcal A)$ of differential operators on $V$ which are logarithmic along…
In the formulation of his celebrated Formality conjecture, M. Kontsevich introduced a universal version of the deformation theory for the Schouten algebra of polyvector fields on affine manifolds. This universal deformation complex takes…
For any formal group law, there is a formal affine Hecke algebra defined by Hoffnung, Malag\'on-L\'opez, Savage, and Zainoulline. Coming from this formal group law, there is also an oriented cohomology theory. We identify the formal affine…
Field theoretical models with first order Lagrangean can be formulated in a covariant Hamiltonian formalism. In this article, the geometrical construction of the Gerstenhaber structure that encodes the equations of motion is explained for…
We use Galois group actions on \'etale cohomology to prove results of formality for dg-operads and dg-algebras with torsion coefficients. Our theory applies, among other related constructions, to the dg-operad of singular chains on the…
