Let $\mathbb{E}_d$ denote the little discs operad for $1 \le d \le \infty$ and let $\mathcal{C}$ be an $\infty$-category all of whose mapping spaces are $n$-truncated. We prove that when considering $\mathbb{E}_d$-monoids in $\mathcal{C}$,…

Motivated by various developments in algebraic combinatorics and its applications, we investigate here the fine structure of a fundamental but little known theorem, the Gerstenhaber and Schack cohomology comparison theorem.The theorem…

Cubical cochains are equipped with an associative product, dual to the Serre diagonal, lifting the graded commutative structure in cohomology. In this work we introduce through explicit combinatorial methods an extension of this product to…

We compute the Poincare polynomial and the cohomology algebra with rational coefficeints of the manifold M_n of real points of the moduli space of algebraic curves of genus 0 with n labeled points. This cohomology is a quadratic algebra,…

A certain analysis of all possible associative binary operations on N is presented. This is equivalent with an analysis of all possible monoid structures on N. Several results and a conjecture in this regard are given.

Inspired by Rumin's work on a subcomplex in sub-Riemannian manifolds which is cohomologically equivalent to the de Rham complex, we present a more general construction that produces subcomplexes from any filtered cochain complex of finite…

We construct for any algebra over an operad an Hochschild chain complex. In the case of the singular cochain complex of a topological space, considered as a commutative algebra up to homotopy, we show that this complex computes the singular…

A family $({\mathbf D}_\lambda)_{\lambda\in \mathbb C}$ of differential operators on the sphere $S^n$ is constructed. The operators are conformally covariant for the action of the subgroup of conformal transformations of $S^n$ which…

This paper proves that the homotopy type of a pointed, simply-connected, 2-reduced simplicial set is determined by the chain-complex augmented by functorial diagonal and higher diagonal maps (a simple generalization of the ones used to…

When $\mathcal{M}$ is a smooth, oriented, compact and simply connected manifold, Luc Menichi has shown that $HH^\ast(C^\ast(\mathcal{M}; \mathbb{F}))$, the Hochschild cohomology of the singular cochain complex of $\mathcal{M}$ is a…

Let $X$ be a simply connected space and ${\Bbb F}_p$ be a prime field. The algebra of normalized singular cochains $N^*(X; {\Bbb F}_p)$ admits a natural homotopy structure which induces natural Steenrod operations on the Hochschild homology…

We construct an algebra of non-trivial homological operations on Khovanov homology with coefficients in $\mathbb Z_2$ generated by two Bockstein operations. We use the unified Khovanov homology theory developed by the first author to lift…

Let $M$ be a manifold and $T^*M$ be the cotangent bundle. We introduce a 1-cocycle on the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$ with values in the space of linear differential operators acting on $C^{\infty} (T^*M).$ When $M$ is the…

This is the first of two papers in which we prove that a cell model of the moduli space of curves with marked points and tangent vectors at the marked points acts on the Hochschild co--chains of a Frobenius algebra. We also prove that a…

Let $M^n$ be a compact orientable smooth Riemannian submanifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ in $\mathbb R^d$. We construct a family of deformed Hodge Laplacians $\Delta_t^*$, $t>0$, acting on differential forms and defined through the extrinsic…

We introduce two coloured operads in sets -- the lattice path operad and a cyclic extension of it -- closely related to iterated loop spaces and to universal operations on cochains. As main application we present a formal construction of an…

In this paper, we introduce the cohomology theory of $\mathcal{O}$-operators on Hom-associative algebras. This cohomology can also be viewed as the Hochschild cohomology of a certain Hom-associative algebra with coefficients in a suitable…

In 1979, Shearer and Kleitman conjectured that there exist $\lfloor n/2 \rfloor+1$ orthogonal chain decompositions of the hypercube $Q_n$, and constructed two orthogonal chain decompositions. In this paper, we make the first non-trivial…
