We give a direct proof that the proalgebraic graded Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group $\mathsf{GRT}_{\mathbb{K}}$ is isomorphic to the group of automorphisms of the prounipotent cyclic operad of parenthesized ribbon chord diagrams based on…
We define a version of Hochschild homology and cohomology suitable for a class of algebras admitting compatible actions of bialgebras, called module algebras. We show this (co)homology, called Hopf--Hochschild (co)homology, can also be…
We recall the construction of the Kontsevich graph orientation morphism $\gamma \mapsto {\rm O\vec{r}}(\gamma)$ which maps cocycles $\gamma$ in the non-oriented graph complex to infinitesimal symmetries $\dot{\mathcal{P}} = {\rm…
Using Kontsevich's identification of the homology of the Lie algebra l_infty with the cohomology of Out(F_r), Morita defined a sequence of 4k-dimensional classes mu_k in the unstable rational homology of Out(F_{2k+2}). He showed by a…
This note discusses the cyclic cohomology of a left Hopf algebroid ($\times_A$-Hopf algebra) with coefficients in a right module-left comodule, defined using a straightforward generalisation of the original operators given by Connes and…
We consider cohomology of diagrams of algebras by Beck's approach, using comonads. We then apply this theory to computing the cohomology of $\Psi$-rings. Our main result is that there is a spectral sequence connecting the cohomology of the…
Motivated by Kontsevich's graph complexes, this paper gives a systematic study of matroid complexes. We construct deletion and contraction bicomplexes on the vector space spanned by matroid classes equipped with ground-set orientations,…
We define Hochschild cohomology of the second kind for differential graded (dg) or curved algebras as a derived functor in the twisted derived category, and show that it is invariant under suitable Morita equivalences of the second kind. A…
We introduce a new and rich class of graph coloring manifolds via the Hom complex construction of Lovasz. The class comprises examples of Stiefel manifolds, series of spheres and products of spheres, cubical surfaces, as well as examples of…
We compute the weight 2 cohomology of the Feynman transforms of the cyclic (co)operads $\mathsf{BV}$ and $\mathsf{HyCom}$, and the top$-2$ weight cohomology of the Feynman transforms of $D\mathsf{BV}$ and $\mathsf{Grav}$. Using a result of…
The Torelli group of a manifold is the group of all diffeomorphisms which act as the identity on the homology of the manifold. In this paper, we calculate the invariant part (invariant under the action of the automorphisms of the homology)…
It is well-known that the Thom polynomial in Stiefel--Whitney classes expressing the cohomology class dual to the locus of the cusp singularity for codimension-$k$ maps and that of the corank-$2$ singularity for codimension-$(k-1)$ maps…
We introduce the notion of cyclic cohomology of an A-infinity algebra and show that the deformations of an A-infinity algebra which preserve an invariant inner product are classified by this cohomology. We use this result to construct some…
We give a construction of cyclic cocycles representing the equivariant characteristic classes of equivariant bundles. Our formulas generalize Connes' Godbillon-Vey cyclic cocycle. An essential tool of our construction is Connes-Moscovici's…
The algebra of truncated polynomials A_m=Z[x]/(x^m) plays an important role in the theory of Khovanov and Khovanov-Rozansky homology of links. We have demonstrated that Hochschild homology is closely related to Khovanov homology via…
The quantum Bruhat graph, which is an extension of the graph formed by covering relations in the Bruhat order, is naturally related to the quantum cohomology ring of G/B. We enhance a result of Fulton and Woodward by showing that the…
In this paper we study a natural extension of Kontsevich's characteristic class construction for A-infinity and L-infinity algebras to the case of curved algebras. These define homology classes on a variant of his graph homology which…
It is well known how the linking number and framing can be extracted from the degree 1 part of the (framed) Kontsevich integral. This note gives a general formula expressing any product of powers of these two invariants as combination of…
In this paper, we study equivariant real cycle class maps for group actions on real schemes, with a view toward Witt-sheaf characteristic classes. The cycle class maps take values in singular cohomology of the real points of the quotient…
We define the appropriate homological setting to study deformation theory of complete locally convex (curved) dg-algebras based on Positselski's contraderived categories. We define the corresponding Hochschild complex controlling…
