Let $X$ be a simply connected path connected topological space which is formal in the sense of rational homotopy theory. Let $Y=X\cup_\alpha\mathbb{D}^{n}$ where $\alpha:\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\to X$ is a non-torsion element. Then we obtain a…
We complete the details of a theory outlined by Kontsevich and Soibelman that associates to a semi-algebraic set a certain graded commutative differential algebra of "semi-algebraic differential forms" in a functorial way. This algebra…
We prove the formality theorem for the differential graded Lie algebra module of Hochschild chains for the algebra of endomorphisms of a smooth vector bundle. We discuss a possible application of this result to a version of the algebraic…

A first goal of this paper is to precisely relate the homotopy theories of bialgebras and $E_2$-algebras. For this, we construct a conservative and fully faithful $\infty$-functor from pointed conilpotent homotopy bialgebras to augmented…
We construct a 2-colored operad G^+ which, on the one hand, extends the operad G governing homotopy Gerstenhaber algebras and, on the other hand, extends the 2-colored operad governing open-closed homotopy algebras (OCHA). We show that…
A hyperplane arrangement is called formal provided all linear dependencies among the defining forms of the hyperplanes are generated by ones corresponding to intersections of codimension two. The significance of this notion stems from the…
We introduce partial formality and relate resonance with partial formality properties. For instance, we show that for finitely generated nilpotent groups that are k-formal, the resonance varieties are trivial up to degree k. We also show…
In his seminal paper "Formality conjecture", M. Kontsevich introduced a graph complex $GC_{1ve}$ closely connected with the problem of constructing a formality quasi-isomorphism for Hochschild cochains. In this paper, we express the…
Let X be a separated finite type scheme over a noetherian base ring K. There is a complex C(X) of topological O_X-modules on X, called the complete Hochschild chain complex of X. To any O_X-module M - not necessarily quasi-coherent - we…
This expository note describes two convenient techniques in the context of homotopy type theory for proving and formalizing that a given map is an equivalence. The first technique decomposes the map as a series of basic equivalences, while…
Homotopy Quantum Field Theories (HQFTs) were introduced by the second author to extend the ideas and methods of Topological Quantum Field Theories to closed $d$-manifolds endowed with extra structure in the form of homotopy classes of maps…
Given a locally presentable category together with a suitable functorial cylinder object, we construct model structures which are sensitive to the `direction' of the cylinder. We show that the Covariant and Contravariant model structures on…
A procedure for constructing bivariant theories by means of Grothendieck duality is developed. This produces, in particular, a bivariant theory of Hochschild (co)homology on the category of schemes that are flat, separated and essentially…
In this paper we prove Lie algebroid versions of Tsygan's formality conjecture for Hochschild chains both in the smooth and holomorphic settings. In the holomorphic setting our result implies a version of Tsygan's formality conjecture for…
We present the theory of higher order invariants and higher order automorphic forms in the simplest case, that of a compact quotient. In this case many things simplify and we are thus able to prove a more precise structure theorem than in…
The primary aim of this essay, drawn from the author's MMath dissertation at Oxford, is to present and explain Kontsevich's formality theorem. The first two sections introduce the main topic. Sections 3 and 4 discuss Hochschild…
Fix a noetherian scheme S. For any flat map f: X->Y of separated essentially-finite-type perfect S-schemes we define a canonical derived-category map c(f):\H(X)->f^!\H(Y), the fundamental class of f, where \H(Z) is the (pre-)Hochschild…
For a $2n+1$-dimensional compact Sasakian manifold, if $n\ge 2$, we prove that the analytic germ of the variety of representations of the fundamental group at every semi-simple representation is quadratic. To prove this result, we prove the…
We prove that the ordered configuration space of 4 or more points in the plane has a non-formal singular cochain algebra in characteristic two. This is proved by constructing an explicit non trivial obstruction class in the Hochschild…
