Let M be a closed orientable manifold of dimension and 𝒞 * ( M ) be the usual cochain algebra on M with coefficients in a field. The Hochschild cohomology of M, H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝒞 * ( M ) ) is a graded commutative and associative algebra. The augmentation map ε : 𝒞 * ( M ) → 𝑘 induces a morphism of algebras I : H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝒞 * ( M ) ) → H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝑘 ) . In this paper we produce a chain model for the morphism I. We show that the kernel of I is a nilpotent ideal and that the image of I is contained in the center of H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝑘 ) , which is in general quite small. The algebra H H * ( 𝒞 * ( M ) ; 𝒞 * ( M ) ) is expected to...

Homotopy Lie algebras and fundamental groups via deformation theory

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.
