Distributive laws and Koszulness

Martin Markl — 1996

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Distributive law is a way to compose two algebraic structures, say 𝒰 and 𝒱 , into a more complex algebraic structure 𝒲 . The aim of this paper is to understand distributive laws in terms of operads. The central result says that if the operads corresponding respectively to 𝒰 and 𝒱 are Koszul, then the operad corresponding to 𝒲 is Koszul as well. An application to the cohomology of configuration spaces is given.

Cohomology operations and the Deligne conjecture

Martin Markl — 2007

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The aim of this note, which raises more questions than it answers, is to study natural operations acting on the cohomology of various types of algebras. It contains a lot of very surprising partial results and examples.

G L n -Invariant tensors and graphs

Martin Markl — 2008

Archivum Mathematicum

We describe a correspondence between GL n -invariant tensors and graphs. We then show how this correspondence accommodates various types of symmetries and orientations.

Homotopy Lie algebras and fundamental groups via deformation theory

Martin MarklStefan Papadima — 1992

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We formulate first results of our larger project based on first fixing some easily accessible invariants of topological spaces (typically the cup product structure in low dimensions) and then studying the variations of more complex invariants such as π * Ω S (the homotopy Lie algebra) or gr * π 1 S (the graded Lie algebra associated to the lower central series of the fundamental group). We prove basic rigidity results and give also an application in low-dimensional topology.

Operads for n -ary algebras – calculations and conjectures

Martin MarklElisabeth Remm — 2011

Archivum Mathematicum

In [8] we studied Koszulity of a family t 𝒜 𝑠𝑠 d n of operads depending on a natural number n and on the degree d of the generating operation. While we proved that, for n 7 , the operad t 𝒜 𝑠𝑠 d n is Koszul if and only if d is even, and while it follows from [4] that t 𝒜 𝑠𝑠 d n is Koszul for d even and arbitrary n , the (non)Koszulity of t 𝒜 𝑠𝑠 d n for d odd and n 8 remains an open problem. In this note we describe some related numerical experiments, and formulate a conjecture suggested by the results of these computations.

Combinatorial differential geometry and ideal Bianchi–Ricci identities II – the torsion case

Josef JanyškaMartin Markl — 2012

Archivum Mathematicum

This paper is a continuation of [2], dealing with a general, not-necessarily torsion-free, connection. It characterizes all possible systems of generators for vector-field valued operators that depend naturally on a set of vector fields and a linear connection, describes the size of the space of such operators and proves the existence of an ‘ideal’ basis consisting of operators with given leading terms which satisfy the (generalized) Bianchi–Ricci identities without corrections.

Deformation Theory (Lecture Notes)

M. DoubekMartin MarklPetr Zima — 2007

Archivum Mathematicum

First three sections of this overview paper cover classical topics of deformation theory of associative algebras and necessary background material. We then analyze algebraic structures of the Hochschild cohomology and describe the relation between deformations and solutions of the corresponding Maurer-Cartan equation. In Section  we generalize the Maurer-Cartan equation to strongly homotopy Lie algebras and prove the homotopy invariance of the moduli space of solutions of this equation. In the last...

Towards one conjecture on collapsing of the Serre spectral sequence

Markl, Martin — 1990

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] A fibration F E B is called totally noncohomologuous to zero (TNCZ) with respect to the coefficient field k, if H * ( E ; k ) H * ( F ; k ) is surjective. This is equivalent to saying that π 1 ( B ) acts trivially on H * ( F ; k ) and the Serre spectral sequence collapses at E 2 . S. Halperin conjectured that for c h a r ( k ) = 0 and F a 1-connected rationally elliptic space (i.e., both H * ( F ; 𝒬 ) and π * ( F ) 𝒬 are finite dimensional) such that H * ( F ; k ) vanishes in odd degrees, every fibration F E B is TNCZ. The author proves this being the case...
