Representations up to coherent homotopy
Tim Porter, Jim Stasheff
Homotopy coherence has a considerable history, albeit also by other names. We provide a brief semi-historical survey providing some links that may not be common knowledge.
Homotopy coherent representations
Tim Porter, Jim Stasheff
Homotopy coherence has a considerable history, albeit also by other names. For this volume highlighting symmetries, the appropriate use is: Homotopy coherence of representations, a…
How Dennis realized he had `invented' -algebras a.k.a. strongly homotopy Lie algebras
Jim Stasheff
This is my attempt to rediscover how Dennis realized that he had discovered/invented -algebras a.k.a. strongly homotopy Lie algebras before my colleagues and I defined th…
-actions and Recognition of Relative Loop Spaces
Eduardo Hoefel, Muriel Livernet, Jim Stasheff
We show that relative loop spaces are recognized by -actions. A certain version of the 2-sided bar construction is used to prove such recognition theorem. The operad ${\s…
"Parallel" transport - revisited
Jim Stasheff
Parallel transport in a fibre bundle with respect to smooth paths in the base space B have recently been extended to representations of the smooth singular simplicial set Sing_{smo…
Čech cocycles for differential characteristic classes -- An infinity-Lie theoretic construction
Domenico Fiorenza, Urs Schreiber, Jim Stasheff
What are called secondary characteristic classes in Chern-Weil theory are a refinement of ordinary characteristic classes of principal bundles from cohomology to differential cohom…
