The Salvetti complex and the little cubes (Q2428719)

From the author's abstract: We study how the combinatorial structure of the Salvetti complex of braid arrangements is related to homotopy theoretic properties of iterated loop spaces. As a consequence, we prove that the skeletal filtration on the Salvetti complex of braid arrangements gives rise to the cobar-type Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence converging to the homology of \(\Omega^2\Sigma^2 X\). We also construct a new spectral sequence that computes the homology of \(\Omega^{\ell}\Sigma^{\ell} X\) for \(\ell>2\) by using a higher order analogue of the Salvetti complex. The \(E^1\)-term of the spectral sequence is described in terms of the homology of \(X\). The spectral sequence is different from known spectral sequences that compute the homology of iterated loop spaces, such as the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence and the spectral sequence studied by \textit{S. T. Ahearn} and \textit{N. J. Kuhn} [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 2, 591--647 (2002; Zbl 1015.55006)].
