Homotopy properties of \(\infty\)-simplicial coalgebras and homotopy unital supplemented \(A_\infty\)-algebras. (Q295962)

Let \(X\) be a graded module. It is known that \(A_\infty\)-structures on \(X\) are equivalent to differential bigraded coalgebra structures on the tensor bigraded coalgebra of \(X\). This paper introduces a class of \(\infty\)-simplicial coalgebras in order to obtain an analogous result for homotopy unital \(A_\infty\)-algebra structures. To be precise, it is shown that homotopy unital supplemented \(A_\infty\)-algebra structures on \(X\) are equivalent to \(\infty\)-simplicial graded coalgebra structures on the tensor bigraded coalgebra of \(X\); in the case that \(X\) is connected, a homotopy unital supplemented \(A_\infty\)-algebra structure is the same as a homotopy unital \(A_\infty\)-algebra structure. The class of \(\infty\)-simplicial coalgebras is based on the class of differential \(\infty\)-simplicial modules, which are homotopy invariant analogues of differential simplicial modules.
