Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to study generalizations of Gamma-homology in the context of operads. Good homology theories are associated to operads under appropriate cofibrancy hypotheses, but this requirement is not satisfied by usual operads outside the characteristic zero context. In that case, the idea is to pick a cofibrant replacement Q of the given operad P. We can apply to P-algebras the homology theory associated to Q in order to define a suitable homology theory on the category of P-algebras. We make explicit a small complex to compute this homology when the operad P is binary and Koszul. In the case of the commutative operad P=Com, we retrieve the complex introduced by Robinson for the Gamma-homology of commutative algebras.

Review text

The homology of Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero is an important gadget of algebra and topology. It is well understood and a lot of computations have been performed. However, the situation is dramatically different when working over a finite field, where homology of Lie algebras is expected to have relationships with algebraic \(K\)-theory. In fact, it is a priori unclear what is the meaning of such a homology theory. Homotopy of operads gives a satisfactory answer to this problem: homology of Lie algebras should be defined as Quillen homology of algebras over a cofibrant replacement of the Lie operad. Such a definition has very good homotopical properties but is very hard to deal with. Inspired by Robison's work on homology of commutative algebras up to homotopy, the author defines a very nice model for Quillen homology of algebras over a Koszul operad (in particular over the Lie operad) namely the Gamma-homology. This model is defined via a reasonably small chain complex. In the case of commutative algebras one recovers the Robinson's complex. Such a model has been used by the author to develop in another paper obstruction theory for algebras over an operad. The paper is very well written and should be of interest for everyone interested in homology of algebras.
