Universal operations in Hochschild homology (Q334477)

This paper addresses the question of finding all natural operations on the Hochschild complex for various \(A_\infty\) algebras. The author introduces a chain of formal operations and identifies this chain complex up to quasi-isomorphism with well-known objects. For instance, with an open topological conformal field, the author recovers the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundaries. With open topological quantum field theories, the identification with Sullivan diagrams is investigated. In several cases, the author obtains explicit computations.
