Infinity structure of Poincaré duality spaces

Thomas Tradler and Mahmoud Zeinalian

Appendix: Dennis Sullivan

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 7 (2007) 233–260
Abstract

We show that the complex CX of rational simplicial chains on a compact and triangulated Poincaré duality space X of dimension d is an A coalgebra with duality. This is the structure required for an A version of the cyclic Deligne conjecture. One corollary is that the shifted Hochschild cohomology HH+d(CX,CX) of the cochain algebra CX with values in CX has a BV structure. This implies, if X is moreover simply connected, that the shifted homology H+dLX of the free loop space admits a BV structure. An appendix by Dennis Sullivan gives a general local construction of structures.
