Higher order Hochschild cohomology (Q2473005)

This paper introduces higher order Hochschild cohomology over spheres \(S^d\) following Pirashvili's ideas. There is an increasing interest for string topology and for its relation to Hochschild cohomology. In this paper, the author dualizes Pirashvili's construction in order to define Hochschild cohomology over spheres \(S^d\). It is then proved that this cohomology is equipped with graded commutative algebra and compatible Adams operations. The link with brane topology is also discussed.
