A Free Frobenius Bialgebra Structure of Differential Forms

Abstract: Let

M

be a closed, oriented manifold. We prove that the quasi-isomorphism class of the

F r o b_{i} n f t y^{0}

-bialgebra structure on

H^{*} (M)

induced by the open TFT on

O m e g a^{*} (M)

is a homotopy invariant of the manifold. This is a three step process. First, we describe the

F r o b_{i} n f t y^{0}

-bialgebra on

H^{*} (M)

induced by the partial

F r o b_{i} n f t y^{0}

-bialgebra on

O m e g a^{*} (M)

. We then describe the

F r o b_{i} n f t y^{0}

-bialgebra on

H^{*} (M)

induced by the cyclic

C_{i} n f t y

-algebra on

H^{*} (M)

. Finally, we show these two

F r o b_{i} n f t y^{0}

-bialgebras are the same. Since the cyclic

C_{i} n f t y

-algebra is a homotopy invariant, this proves our claim.
