Is being graded commutative a necessary condition on $A$ such that $H^*(A)$ is commutative?

If we consider any differential graded algebra $A^\bullet$, then its homology is a graded algebra, since the tensor product interacts well with homology. A sufficient condidtion for the homology to be ...

Correct notion of "connected" for dga of bundle-valued forms

Consider a vector bundle $E$ over a manifold $M$ with flat connection, $\nabla$. From this data I can form the associative/unital differential graded algebra $\mathcal{A} = \left(\Omega^{\bullet}(M, ...

Exponential of a sum in a non-commutative graded algebra

Let $a,b$ be two elements of a graded algebra $A$ such that $\deg(a)=1$, $\deg(b)=0$ and $[a,b]\neq 0$. I would like to know whether there exits an explicit expression for the degree 1 component $$\...

Reason to apply the Koszul sign rule everywhere in graded contexts

The Koszul sign rule is a sign rule that arises from graded-commutative algebras. For instance, let $\bigwedge(x_1,\dots, x_n)$ be the free graded-commutative algebra generated by $n$ elements of ...

Universal bimodule for homotopy biderivations

Recall the commutative story: for a commutative algebra $A$, its module of differentials $\Omega (A)$ is characterized by the universal property that any derivation $\delta \colon A \to M$ is in a ...

dg-resolution of the polynomial algebra

I am intersted in constructing a cofibrant resolution of the commutative polynomial algebra in some number of variables in the category of dg-algebras(not necceserily commutative). The resolutions ...

Turning left modules into right modules over a homotopy Gerstenhaber algebra

For simplicity's sake, let $A$ be a dg-algebra over $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. In the case when $A$ is a commutative algebra, we can turn a left $A$ module into a right $A$ module trivially. Of course ...
