چکیده
We study cohomology theories of strongly homotopy algebras, namely A∞, C∞ and L∞-algebras and establish the Hodge decomposition of Hochschild and cyclic cohomology of C∞-algebras thus generalising previous work by Loday and Gerstenhaber-Schack. These results are then used to show that a C∞-algebra with an invariant inner product on its cohomology can be uniquely extended to a symplectic C∞-algebra (an ∞-generalisation of a commutative Frobenius algebra introduced by Kontsevich). As another application, we show that the 'string topology' operations (the loop product, the loop bracket and the string bracket) are homotopy invariant and can be defined on the homology or equivariant homology of an arbitrary Poincaré duality space.

This paper builds a general framework in which to study cohomology theories of strongly homotopy algebras, namely A∞, C∞ and L∞-algebras. This framework is based on noncommutative geometry as expounded by Connes and Kontsevich. The developed machinery is then used to establish a general form of Hodge decomposition of Hochschild and cyclic cohomology of C∞-algebras. This generalizes and puts in ...

A standard combinatorial construction, due to Kontsevich, associates to any A∞-algebra with an invariant inner product, an inhomogeneous class in the cohomology of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with marked points. We describe an alternative version of this construction based on noncommutative geometry and use it to prove that homotopy equivalent algebras give rise to the same cohomology...

This review paper is a continuation of hep-th/0012145 and it deals primarily with noncommutative R d spaces. We start with a discussion of various algebras of smooth functions on noncommutative R d that have different asymptotic behavior at infinity. We pay particular attention to the differences arising when working with nonunital algebras and the unitized ones obtained by adjoining the unit e...

Noncommutative geometry is used to study the local geometry of ultrametric spaces and the geometry of trees at infinity. Connes's example of the noncommutative space of Penrose tilings is interpreted as a non-Hausdorff orbit space of a compact, ultrametric space under the action of its local isometry group. This is generalized to compact, locally rigid, ultrametric spaces. The local isometry ty...
