Hochschild homology of structured algebras (Q900851)

This paper develops a general method for constructing explicit operations on the Hochschild complex of \(A_{\infty}\)-algebras. First, the authors introduce the relevant chain complexes of graphs and review the basic results about the double bar construction. Then, the properties of the Hochschild complex are examined. An integral version of the Costello-Kontsevich-Soibelman moduli space action is obtained. The case of strict Frobenius algebras and Sullivan diagrams is studied. Finally, the authors give applications to string topology in characteristic zero.
