We study the string topology of a closed oriented Riemannian manifold M. We describe a compact moduli space of diagrams, and show how the cellular chain complex of this space gives algebraic operations on the singular chains of the free…

The purpose of this paper is to study $W(2,2)$ Lie conformal algebra, which has a free $\mathbb{C}[\partial]$-basis $\{L, M\}$ such that $[L_\lambda L]=(\partial+2\lambda)L$, $[L_\lambda M]=(\partial+2\lambda)M$, $[M_\lambda M]=0$. In this…

A theorem of Kontsevich relates the homology of certain infinite dimensional Lie algebras to graph homology. We formulate this theorem using the language of reversible operads and mated species. All ideas are explained using a pictorial…

We explore complex Riemannian geometry and Hermitian metrics on complex algebraic varieties and analytic spaces, respectively. In particular, we introduce Hermitian metrics on holomorphic Lie algebroids and examine the associated…

In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…

Let M be a closed, oriented, n -manifold, and LM its free loop space. Chas and Sullivan defined a commutative algebra structure in the homology of LM, and a Lie algebra structure in its equivariant homology. These structures are known as…

In recent work, Stokes and Vermant considered graph-of-groups realisations of hypergraphs as a new description of rigidity-theoretic problems. In this paper, we show that the infinitesimal aspects of graph-of-groups realisations can be…

In the realm of invertible symmetry, the topological approach based on classifying spaces dominates the classification of 't Hooft anomalies and symmetry protected topological phases. We explore the alternative algebraic approach based on…

Convergence spaces are a generalization of topological spaces. The category of convergence spaces is well-suited for Algebraic Topology, one of the reasons is the existence of exponential objects provided by continuous convergence. In this…

We study the homology of free loop spaces via techniques arising from the theory of topological coHochschild homology (coTHH). Topological coHochschild homology is a topological analogue of the classical theory of coHochschild homology for…

We consider the space of linear maps from a coassociative coalgebra C into a Lie algebra L. Unless C has a cocommutative coproduct, the usual symmetry properties of the induced bracket on Hom(C,L) fail to hold. We define the concept of…

It was shown by Claus Scheiderer prior to 1994 that real closed spaces have \'{e}tale cohomology. Following Scheiderer, study of real closed spaces fell out of fashion and o-minimal geometry became the focus for those at the intersection of…

We introduce loop spaces (in the sense of derived algebraic geometry) into the representation theory of reductive groups. In particular, we apply the theory developed in our previous paper arXiv:1002.3636 to flag varieties, and obtain new…

The correspondence between Lie algebras, Lie groups, and algebraic groups, on one side and commutative Hopf algebras on the other side are known for a long time by works of Hochschild-Mostow and others. We extend this correspondence by…

Let $S$ be the affine plane $\C^2$ together with an appropriate $\mathbb T = \C^*$ action. Let $\hil{m,m+1}$ be the incidence Hilbert scheme. Parallel to \cite{LQ}, we construct an infinite dimensional Lie algebra that acts on the direct…

Let $A \subseteq E$ be a given extension of Hopf (respectively Lie) algebras. We answer the \emph{classifying complements problem} (CCP) which consists of describing and classifying all complements of $A$ in $E$. If $H$ is a given…

We are interested in the asymptotics of random trees built by linear preferential attachment, also known in the literature as Barab\'asi-Albert trees or plane-oriented recursive trees. We first prove a conjecture of Bubeck, Mossel \& R\'acz…

For any dg algebra $A$, not necessarily commutative, and a subset $S$ in $H(A)$, the homology of $A$, we construct its derived localisation $L_S(A)$ together with a map $A\to L_S(A)$, well-defined in the homotopy category of dg algebras,…

We discuss the category $\cal I$ of level zero integrable representations of loop algebras and their generalizations. The category is not semisimple and so one is interested in its homological properties. We begin by looking at some…
