Poincare duality and the $A_\infty$ structure on cohomology
If $X$ is a topological space then the rational cohomology of $X$ carries a canonical $A_\infty$ structure (in fact $C_\infty$) with differential $m_1: H^\ast(X) \to H^{\ast+1}(X)$ vanishing and ...

Homotopy equivalence vs gauge equivalence
Let $(\mathfrak{g},[-,-])$ be a pronilpotent Lie algebra (considered of degree zero). We can consider $(\mathfrak{g},[-,-])$ as a differential graded Lie algebra endowed with the $0$-differential. Let ...

Relation between $Tor_{C^*(BG;K)}(K,K) $ and $K^G$?
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field and $G$ a group.
Given a dg-algebra $A$, a left $A$-module $M$ and a right $A$-module $N$
let $Tor_A(M,N)$ denote the homology of the derived tensor product $M ...

Rational model for composition of linear isometries
There is a composition map on spaces of linear isometries (over $\mathbb{C}$ say)
$$
\mathcal{L}(\mathbb{C}^k, \mathbb{C}^\ell) \times \mathcal{L}(\mathbb{C}^\ell, \mathbb{C}^m) \longrightarrow \...
