Higher enveloping algebras (Q1757331): Difference between revisions

As the structure inherited by the tangent space to the identity element of a Lie group, Lie algebras are classically tied to the smooth geometry of manifolds. \par The author explores a more primitive source for this, same type of algebraic structure. He provides spectral Lie algebras with enveloping algebras over the operad of little \(G\)-framed \(n\)-dimensional disks for any choice of dimension \(n\) and the structure group \(G\), and he describes these objects in two complementary ways. The first description is an abstract characterization and the second, a generalization of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt Theorem. The presented construction pairs the theories of Koszul duality and Day convolution [\textit{B. Day}, Lect. Notes Math. 137, 1--38 (1970; Zbl 0203.31402)] in order to lift to the world of higher algebra the fundamental combinatorics of Beilinson-Drinfeld's theory [\textit{A. Beilinson} and \textit{V. Drinfeld}, Chiral algebras. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (2004; Zbl 1138.17300)] of chiral algebras. Like that theory, the author's is linked to the geometry of configuration spaces and has the study of these spaces among its applications. Then, it is used to show that the stable homotopy types of configuration spaces are proper homotopy invariants.
