Abstract: We introduce the abstract notion of a necklical set in order to describe a functorial combinatorial model of the path fibration over the geometric realization of a path connected simplicial set. In particular, to any path connected simplicial set $X$ we associate a necklical set $widehatmathbfOmegaX$ such that its geometric realization $|widehatmathbfOmegaX|$, a space built out of gluing cubical cells, is homotopy equivalent to the based loop space on $|X|$ and the differential graded module of chains $C_{\ast }(widehatmathbfOmegaX)$ is a differential graded associative algebra generalizing Adams' cobar construction.

Review text

In this article the authors construct a combinatorial model of the path space fibration over the geometric realization of a path-connected simplicial set. To this end they define necklical sets as contravariant functors from the category of necklaces [\textit{D. Dugger} and \textit{D. Spivak}, Algebr. Geom. Topol. 11, No. 1, 225--261 (2011; Zbl 1213.55015)] to the category of sets, as well as their geometric realizations, which are cubical complexes. The loop space and the path space of the geometric realization of a path-connected simplicial set are then modeled by necklical sets. In the last section of the article, the relationship between the necklical model of the loop space and Adams' cobar construction [\textit{J. Adams}, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 42, 409--412 (1956; Zbl 0071.16404)] is described.
