We present an approach to Morse theory on symmetric products of surfaces using the notion of folded ribbon trees. We introduce an $A_\infty$-category with objects defined as $\kappa$-tuples of Morse functions, where the differential of the…

Elaborating on works by Abouzaid and Mescher, we prove that for a Morse function on a smooth compact manifold, its Morse cochain complex can be endowed with an $\Omega B As$-algebra structure by counting moduli spaces of perturbed Morse…

We construct an isomorphism between the wrapped higher-dimensional Heegaard Floer homology of $\kappa$-tuples of cotangent fibers and $\kappa$-tuples of conormal bundles of homotopically nontrivial simple closed curves in $T^*\Sigma$ with a…

Let M_n be the class of all multiloop algebras of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras relative to n-tuples of commuting finite order automorphisms. It is a classical result that M_1 is the class of all derived algebras modulo their…

A classical result in Morse theory is the determination of the homotopy type of the loop space of a manifold. In this paper, we study this result through the lens of discrete Morse theory. This requires a suitable simplicial model for the…

Given a Liouville manifold $M$, we introduce an invariant of $M$ that we call the Heegaard Floer symplectic cohomology $SH^*_\kappa(M)$ for any $\kappa \ge 1$ that coincides with the symplectic cohomology for $\kappa=1$. Writing $\hat{M}$…

This paper introduces the notion of $n$-morphisms between two $A_\infty$-algebras, such that 0-morphisms correspond to standard $A_\infty$-morphisms and 1-morphisms correspond to $A_\infty$-homotopies between $A_\infty$-morphisms. The set…

On a symplectic manifold $M$, the quantum product defines a complex, one parameter family of flat connections called the A-model or Dubrovin connections. Let $\hbar$ denote the parameter. Associated to them is the quantum $\mathcal{D}$ -…

We present an elementary and self-contained construction of $A_\infty$-algebras, $A_\infty$-bimodules and their Hochschild homology and cohomology groups. In addition, we discuss the cup product in Hochschild cohomology and the spectral…

We elaborate on an idea of M. Abouzaid of equipping the Morse cochain complex of a smooth Morse function on a closed oriented manifold with the structure of an $A_\infty$-algebra. This is a variation on K. Fukaya's definition of…

We establish a structure theorem, analogous to the classical result of Milnor and Moore, for differential graded Hopf algebras: any differential Hopf algebra $H$ that is free as a coalgebra carries an underlying $B_\infty$ algebra structure…

In this paper we establish the existence of certain structures on the ordinary and equivariant homology of the free loop space on a manifold or, more generally, a formal Poincar\'e duality space. These structures; namely the loop product,…

The Hecke algebras for all symmetric groups taken together form a braided monoidal category that controls all quantum link invariants of type A and, by extension, the standard canon of topological quantum field theories in dimension 3 and…

In the spirit of Morse homology initiated by Witten and Floer, we construct two $\infty$-categories $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$. The weak one $\mathcal{A}$ comes out of the Morse-Samle pairs and their higher homotopies, and the strict…

Stasheff's $A(\infty)$-algebra $(M,\{m_i:\otimes^iM\to M, i=1,2,3,...\})$ in fact is a DG-algebra $(M,m_1,m_2)$ with not necessarily associative product $m_2$ but this nonassociativity is measured by higher homotopies $m_{i>2}$.…

We use the Hecke algebras of affine symmetric groups and their associated Schur algebras to construct a new algebra through a basis, and a set of generators and explicit multiplication formulas of basis elements by generators. We prove that…

Given a $C_\infty$ coalgebra $C_*$, a strict dg Hopf algebra $H_*$, and a twisting cochain $\tau:C_* \rightarrow H_*$ such that $Im(\tau) \subset Prim(H_*)$, we describe a procedure for obtaining an $A_\infty$ coalgebra on $C_* \otimes…

We define objects made of marked complex disks connected by metric line segments and construct nonsymmetric and symmetric moduli spaces of these objects. This allows choices of coherent perturbations over the corresponding versions of the…

The loop homology of a closed orientable manifold $M$ of dimension $d$ is the ordinary homology of the free loop space $M^{S^1}$ with degrees shifted by $d$, i.e. $\mathbb H_*(M^{S^1}) = H_{*+d}(M^{S^1})$. Chas and Sullivan have defined a…

Given a closed surface $C$ and a real exact Lagrangian $\Sigma \subset T^*C$ associated to a spectral curve, we construct a homomorphism $\operatorname{BSk}_\kappa(C)\to\operatorname{Mat}(N^{\kappa},\operatorname{BSk}_\kappa(\Sigma))$ from…
