On several varieties of cacti and their relations.
In this short note we compute the Chas-Sullivan BV-algebra structure on the singular homology of the free loop space of complex projective spaces. We compare this result with computations in Hochschild cohomology.
In [8] we studied Koszulity of a family of operads depending on a natural number and on the degree of the generating operation. While we proved that, for , the operad is Koszul if and only if is even, and while it follows from [4] that is Koszul for even and arbitrary , the (non)Koszulity of for odd and remains an open problem. In this note we describe some related numerical experiments, and formulate a conjecture suggested by the results of these computations.
