The Cobar Construction: a Modern Perspective

چکیده
These are lecture notes from a minicourse given at Louvain-laNeuve in May 2007. There is a high, but not perfect, correlation between the contents of these notes and the subjects covered in the minicourse. Note that since these are lecture notes and not an article, many proofs are not included, while those that are included are only sketches, which are particularly brief when the proofs have already appeared in published articles or in articles available on the arXiv. With thanks to Yves, Enrico and Pascal for catching various errors during the lectures!

On the E1–term of the gravity spectral sequence
The author constructed a spectral sequence strongly converging to h∗(ΩΣX) for any homology theory in [13]. In this note, we prove that the E1 –term of the spectral sequence is isomorphic to the cobar construction, and hence the spectral sequence is isomorphic to the classical cobar-type Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequence based on the geometric cobar construction from the E1 –term. Similar argume...
متن کاملThe Loop Group and the Cobar Construction
We prove that for any 1-reduced simplicial set X, Adams’ cobar construction ΩCX on the normalised chain complex of X is naturally a strong deformation retract of the normalised chains CGX on the Kan loop group GX. In order to prove this result, we extend the definition of the cobar construction and actually obtain the existence of such a strong deformation retract for all 0-reduced simplicial s...
متن کاملBar-cobar Duality for Operads in Stable Homotopy Theory
We extend bar-cobar duality, defined for operads of chain complexes by Getzler and Jones, to operads of spectra in the sense of stable homotopy theory. Our main result is the existence of a Quillen equivalence between the category of reduced operads of spectra (with the projective model structure) and a new model for the homotopy theory of cooperads of spectra. The crucial construction is of a ...
متن کاملOperadic Cobar Constructions, Cylinder Objects and Homotopy Morphisms of Algebras over Operads
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we review applications of the bar duality of operads to the construction of explicit cofibrant replacements in categories of algebras over an operad. In view toward applications, we check that the constructions of the bar duality work properly for algebras over operads in unbounded differential graded modules over a ring. In a second part, we use the...
متن کاملBrace Bar-cobar Duality
Using Kadeishvili’s [11] formulas with appropriate signs, we show that the classical cobar construction from coalgebras to algebras Ω : CoAlg → Alg can be enhanced to a functor from Hopf algebras to E2 algebras (for a certain choice of E2 operad) Ω : HopfAlg → E2Alg, which, unlike its classical counterpart, is not strictly adjoint, but homotopically equivalent to the left adjoint of the enhance...
