We examine the completely isometric automorphisms of a free product of noncommutative disc algebras. It will be established that such an automorphism is given simply by a completely isometric automorphism of each component of the free…

First we argue that many BV and homotopy BV structures, including both familiar and new examples, arise from a common underlying construction. The input of this construction is a cyclic operad along with a cyclically invariant Maurer-Cartan…

We study integrable systems on the semidirect product of a Lie group and its Lie algebra as the representation space of the adjoint action. Regarding the tangent bundle of a Lie group as phase space endowed with this semidirect product Lie…

The structure space S(M) of a closed topological m-manifold M classifies bundles whose fibers are closed m-manifolds equipped with a homotopy equivalence to M. We construct a highly connected map from S(M) to a concoction of algebraic…

Given two Frobenius algebras, we describe the BV operator on the Hochschild cohomology of their tensor product twisted by a bicharacter in terms of twisted BV operators on summands of the Hochschild cohomology described by Briggs and…

We revisit Stasheff's construction of a minimal Lie-Quillen model of a simply-connected closed manifold $M$ using the language of infinity-algebras. This model is then used to construct a graded Lie bracket on the equivariant homology of…

In this paper, classical gravity is reformulated in terms of loops, via an algebraic topological approach. The main component is the loop group, whose elements consist of pairs of cobordant loops. A Chas-Sullivan product is described on the…

A garland based on a manifold $P$ is a finite set of manifolds homeomorphic to $P$ with some of them glued together at marked points. Fix a manifold $M$ and consider a space $\NN$ of all smooth mappings of garlands based on $P$ into $M$. We…

We give a finite dimensional approach to the Chas-Sullivan product on the free loop space of a manifold, orientable or not.

Let $G \to P \to M$ be a flat principal bundle over a closed and oriented manifold $M$ of dimension $m=2d$. We construct a map of Lie algebras $\Psi: \H_{2\ast} (L M) \to {\o}(\Mc)$, where $\H_{2\ast} (LM)$ is the even dimensional part of…

As a sequel to [Duan-Shu-Yao], we introduce here a category $\mathscr{LC}$ arising from the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ defined in [Duan-Shu-Yao] for Lie algebras of polynomial vector fields. The objects of $\mathscr{LC}$ are so-called…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…

We consider the Lie algebra consisting of all derivations on the free associative algebra, generated by the first homology group of a closed oriented surface, which kill the symplectic class. We find the first non-trivial abelianization of…

We classify compact, connected Hamiltonian and quasi-Hamiltonian manifolds of cohomogeneity one (which is the same as being multiplicity free of rank one). Here the group acting is a compact connected Lie group (simply connected in the…

It is well-known that the homology of the classifying space of the unitary group is isomorphic to the ring of symmetric functions, Symm. We offer the cohomology of the loop space of the suspension of the infinite complex projective space as…

An almost-direct product of free groups is an iterated semidirect product of finitely generated free groups in which the action of the constituent free groups on the homology of one another is trivial. We determine the structure of the…

We construct and study an algebraic analogue of the loop coproduct in string topology, also known as the Goresky-Hingston coproduct. Our algebraic setup, which under this analogy takes the place of the complex of chains on the free loop…

We show that the secondary Hochschild cohomology associated to a triple $(A,B,\varepsilon)$ has several of the properties of the usual Hochschild cohomology. Among others, we prove the existence of the cup and Lie products, discuss the…

We endow the cohomology of configuration spaces of a manifold with a product arising from superposing configurations. We prove that, under the scanning isomorphism, this product corresponds to the cup-product of the section space of the…

The rational Borel equivariant cohomology for actions of a compact connected Lie group is determined by restriction of the action to a maximal torus. We show that a similar reduction holds for any compact Lie group $G$ when there is a…
