Let $X$ be a (connected, smooth) closed aspherical manifold. Let $LX:=Map(S^1,X)$ be the free loop space of $X$. Pick $x_0\in X$ and let $\Omega_{x_0}(X)$ be the based loop space of $X$ (based at $x_0$...

Let $G$ be a group and $A$ a group with a $G$-action. Then in general, $H^0(G;A)=A^G$ is a group, and $H^1(G;A)$ is simply a pointed set. If $A$ is an abelian group, then $H^i(G;A)$ exists and is an ...

$\mathit{Diff}(S^1)$ refers to the group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of the circle. The semigroup of annuli $\mathcal A$ is its "complexification": the elements of $\mathcal A$ are ...
