HIGHER STRING TOPOLOGY ON GENERAL SPACES

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, I give a generalized analogue of the string topology results of Chas and Sullivan, and of Cohen and Jones. For a finite simplicial complex X and kgeq1, I construct a spectrum Maps(Sk,X)S(X), and show that the corresponding chain complex is naturally homotopy equivalent to an algebra over the (k+1)-dimensional unframed little disk operad mathcalCk+1. I also prove Kontsevich's conjecture that the Quillen cohomology of a based mathcalCk-algebra (in the category of chain complexes) is equivalent to a shift of its Hochschild cohomology, as well as prove that the operad CastmathcalCk is Koszul-dual to itself up to a shift in the derived category. This gives one a natural notion of (derived) Koszul dual CastmathcalCk-algebras. I show that the cochain complex of X and the chain complex of OmegakX are Koszul dual to each other as CastmathcalCk-algebras, and that the chain complex of Maps(Sk,X)S(X) is naturally equivalent to their (equivalent) Hochschild cohomology in the category of CastmathcalCk-algebras.
