What algebraic structure characterizes all natural operations between differential operators and differential forms?
On a smooth manifold $M$ one can define various algebraic structures, natural with respect to diffeomorphisms:
the differential graded-commutative algebra $\Omega(M)$ of differential forms on $M$;

Does the $(\mathbb Z/2)$-graded isomorphism $E_n \cong E_{n+2}$ have any nice properties?
This question assumes everything is dg. Let's decide to work over the "field" $\mathbb Q[\mu,\mu^{-1}]$ where $\mu$ has homological degree $+2$. Then chain complexes are just $\mathbb Z/2$-graded. ...

Quadratic algebras, quadratic operads, quadratic categories and quantum cohomology
Motivated by the quantisation of the symmetric laws in physics, the category of quadratic algebras has been endowed with two tensor products by Manin in his Montreal lectures notes. These products ...

Operad-free proofs of rectification of homotopy ($A_\infty/L_\infty$) algebras?
If (say) $L$ is an $L_\infty$-algebra, then it is known that under certain conditions there exists a quasi-isomorphic $L_\infty$-algebra $L'$ which is a differential graded Lie algebra: all ternary ...

What is the endomorphism cooperad?
In Loday and Vallette's book on algebraic operads, they use the "Endomorphism cooperad $End^c_{s\mathbb{K}}$", where $s\mathbb{K}$ is the base field, shifted into (homological) degree one. This is an ...

Quantum polynomial rings and singularities
Something I've been thinking about lately has led me to wonder about the following. Consider the quantum polynomial ring $ Q= \mathbb{C}_{-1}[x_1,...x_n]$ generated as a graded ring in degree 1 with ...

Homotopy transfer of cyclic L-infinity algebras
Suppose $W$ is a cyclic $L_\infty$ algebra, i.e. $W$ has a non-degenerate, symmetric, invariant pairing $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle_W$. Let $V$ be a cochain complex, and suppose given the data of a ...

Covariant splittings of Hopf algebra projections
What is an example of a pair of Hopf algebras $(A,B)$ with a surjective Hopf algebra map $\phi:A \to B$ such that $\phi$ does not admit a $B$-bi-comodule splitting $s:B \to A$? To be clear, the right $...

Cotensoring by a Hopf Algebra
For $H$ a Hopf algebra, with bijective antipode. For a right, and a left, $H$-comodule $(V,\alpha_R)$, and $(W,\alpha_L)$ respectively, the cotensor product of $V$ and $W$ is
$$
V \square_H W := \ker(...

Why are relations of degree 3 or less enough in a presentation of the polynomial current Lie algebra g[t]?
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$.
The polynomial current Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}[t] = \mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathbb{C} [t]$
has the bracket

Brace algebra structure on the Hochschild complex of an associative algebra
As shown by Gerstenhaber and Voronov [Higher operations on the Hochschild complex], the Hochschild complex of an associative algebra is endowed with a natural structure of brace algebra. The first ...
