Homotopy Lie algebras, lower central series and the Koszul property

Homotopy Lie algebras, lower central series and the Koszul property

Let X and Y be finite-type CW–complexes (X connected, Y simply connected), such that the rational cohomology ring of Y is a k–rescaling of the rational cohomology ring of X . Assume H∗(X,Q) is a Koszul algebra. Then, the homotopy Lie algebra π∗(ΩY ) ⊗ Q equals, up to k–rescaling, the graded rational Lie algebra associated to the lower central series of π1(X). If Y is a formal space, this equali...

Rational homotopy groups and Koszul algebras

Let X and Y be finite-type CW-spaces (X connected, Y simply connected), such that the ring H∗(Y,Q) is a k-rescaling of H∗(X,Q). If H∗(X,Q) is a Koszul algebra, then the graded Lie algebra π∗(ΩY )⊗Q is the k-rescaling of gr∗(π1X)⊗Q. If Y is a formal space, then the converse holds, and Y is coformal. Furthermore, if X is formal, with Koszul cohomology algebra, there exist filtered group isomorphi...

Koszul Duality for Modules over Lie Algebras

Let g be a reductive Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero. Suppose that g acts on a complex of vector spaces M by iλ and Lλ, which satisfy the same identities that contraction and Lie derivative do for differential forms. Out of this data one defines the cohomology of the invariants and the equivariant cohomology of M. We establish Koszul duality between them.

Homotopy Lie Algebras and the Courant Bracket

We consider two different constructions of higher brackets. First, based on a Grassmann-odd, nilpotent ∆ operator, we define a non-commutative generalization of the higher Koszul brackets, which are used in a generalized Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra, and we show that they form a homotopy Lie algebra. Secondly, we investigate higher, so-called derived brackets built from symmetrized, nested Lie br...
