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 ...

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 ...

Formality of the little $n$-disks operad and deformation theory

In [Another proof of M. Kontsevich formality theorem], Tamarkin provides a proof of the formality of the differential graded Lie algebra controlling the deformation of a polynomial associative algebra....

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 ...

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. ...
