This paper is a survey of our previous works on open-closed homotopy algebras, together with geometrical background, especially in terms of compactifications of configuration spaces (one of Fred's specialities) of Riemann surfaces,…

In a recent paper, the second author and Joana Cirici proved a theorem that says that given appropriate hypotheses, $n$-formality of a differential graded algebraic structure is equivalent to the existence of a chain-level lift of a…

A consistent action for heterotic and type II superstring field theory was recently proposed by Sen. We give an algebraic formulation of this action in terms of certain twisted $L_\infty$-algebra. We further show that Sen's Wilsonian…

We study the relationship between the higher Massey products on the cohomology $H$ of a differential graded algebra, and the $A_\infty$ structures induced on $H$ via homotopy transfer techniques.

We prove a conjecture of Morel identifying Voevodsky's homotopy invariant sheaves with transfers with spectra in the stable homotopy category which are concentrated in degree zero for the homotopy t-structure and have a trivial action of…

Looking back over 55 years of higher homotopy structures, I reminisce as I recall the early days and ponder how they developed and how I now see them. From the history of $A_\infty$-structures and later of $L_\infty$ -structures and their…

For a Koszul operad $\mathcal{P}$, there are several existing approaches to the notion of a homotopy between homotopy morphisms of homotopy $\mathcal{P}$-algebras. Some of those approaches are known to give rise to the same notions. We…

We extend homological perturbation theory to encompass algebraic structures governed by operads and cooperads. The main difficulty is to find a suitable notion of algebra homotopy that generalizes to algebras over operads O. To solve this…

Transfer systems are a combinatorial model for $N_{\infty}$-operads, which encode commutative structures in equivariant homotopy theory. Blumberg--Hill and Chan gave criteria for when two transfer systems are a compatible pair, meaning they…

Building on Kadeishvili's original theorem inducing $A_\infty$-algebra structures on the homology of dg-algebras, several directions of algorithmic research in $A_\infty$-algebras have been pursued. In this paper we will survey work done on…

The notion of conformal algebras was introduced by Victor G. Kac using the axiomatic description of the operator product expansion of chiral fields in conformal field theory. The structure theory, representations and cohomology of Lie and…

For finite coverings we elucidate the interaction between transferred Chern classes and Chern classes of transferred bundles. This involves computing the ring structure for the complex oriented cohomology of various homotopy orbit spaces.…

Transfer maps and projection formulas are undoubtedly one of the key tools in the development and computation of (co)homology theories. In this note we develop an unified treatment of transfer maps and projection formulas in the…

We study $A_{\infty}$-structures extending the natural algebra structure on the cohomology of $\oplus_n L^n$, where $L$ is a very ample line bundle on a projective $d$-dimensional variety $X$ such that $H^i(X,L^n)=0$ for $0<i<d$ and all…

We prove a filtered version of the Homotopy Transfer Theorem which gives an A-infinity algebra structure on any page of the spectral sequence associated to a filtered dg-algebra. We then develop various applications to the study of the…

We prove that the Becker-Gottlieb transfer is functorial up to homotopy, for all fibrations with finitely dominated fibers. This resolves a lingering foundational question about the transfer, which was originally defined in the late 1970s…

Let $M$ be a closed spin manifold and $N$ be a codimension 1 submanifold of it. Given certain homotopy conditions, Zeidler shows that the Rosenberg index of $N$ is an obstruction to the existence of positive scalar curvature on $M$. He…

We develop a theory of generalized characters of local systems in $\infty$-categories, which extends classical character theory for group representations and, in particular, the induced character formula. A key aspect of our approach is…

The assignment of classifying spectra to saturated fusion systems was suggested by Linckelmann and Webb and has been carried out by Broto, Levi and Oliver. A more rigid (but equivalent) construction of the classifying spectra is given in…

We continue our study of effective field theory via homotopy transfer of $L_\infty$-algebras, and apply it to tree-level non-Wilsonian effective actions of the kind discussed by Sen in which the modes integrated out are comparable in mass…
