Lectures

Benoit Fresse (Université Lille 1)

The homotopy theory of En-operadsEn-operads are structures introduced at the origin of operad theory for the study of iterated

loop spaces (works of Boardman-Vogt and May). The study of En-operads has been completelyrenewed during the last decade, and many new applications of this notion have been discovered inthe fields of topology and algebra, mostly after the proof of the Deligne conjecture on Hochschildcochains.

The purpose of this lecture series is to give an introduction to the homotopy theory of En-operads. I will mostly focus on the case of E2-operads, and I will explain a deep connectionbetween E2-operads and the theory of Drinfeld’s associators.

Synopsis:(1) Intro: the definition and the significance of En-operads in topology and in algebra.(2) Braids, monoidal structures, and Fiedorowicz’s characterization of E2-operads. General-

ization for higher En-operads.(3) Drinfeld’s associators and Tamarkin’s proof of the formality of E2-operads. Generaliza-

tion for higher En-operads.(4) Homotopy automorphisms of E2-operads, the Grothendieck-Teichmüller group, and out-

look.Reference:The book in preparation "Homotopy of operads and Grothendieck-Teichmüller groups I"

(updated preprint to appear soon) will serve as an overall reference for this lecture series, andgives a comprehensive bibliography of the subject.

Algebraic Models for Homotopy TypesThis talk series will give an introduction to what is currently known about modeling the

homotopy theory of topological spaces by algebraic structures refining cohomology.Lecture 1: Models in Homotopy TheoryQuillen invented model categories precisely to study the question of algebraic models for

homotopy theory. The language of closed model categories gives powerful tools for studyingabstract homotopy theory. This talk will review the concepts and language of closed modelcategories for use in later talks.

Lecture 2: Algebraic Models in Rational Homotopy TheoryHomotopy theory can be "localized" and studied at different primes. Rational homotopy

theory is a piece of homotopy theory that keeps only the information seen by the rationalnumbers, for example, the rational homology and the torsion-free part of the higher homotopygroups of simply connected spaces. Quillen and Sullivan proved that the rational homotopytheory of finite type simply connected spaces is modeled by commutative differential gradedalgebras.

Lecture 3: Algebraic Models in p-adic Homotopy TheoryFor a prime p, p-adic homotopy theory keeps track of p-torsion phenomena. For example,

information about a space remaining in the p-adic homotopy category includes cohomologywith coefficients in the p-adic numbers and for finite type simply connected spaces, the p-completion of their higher homotopy groups. Although p-adic homotopy theory of finite type

Page 7: Topology Conf

simply connected spaces cannot be modeled by commutative differential graded algebras, it ismodeled by a generalization, E∞ differential graded algebras.

Lecture 4: Algebraic Models for Integral Homotopy TypesAfter fracturing a space into its rational and p-adic parts, it can be reconstituted by patching

data to its original homotopy type. However, the models described in the previous lectures do notpatch together to give a model for homotopy theory, and there is currently no known algebraicmodel for the homotopy theory of finite type simply connected spaces. Nevertheless, they do fittogether well enough to find models to distinguish different homotopy types of finite type simplyconnected spaces.

Twisted polynomials for knots and 3-manifolds with applications to concordance,slicing and fibering

The purpose of my talk is to present some applications of twisted Alexander polynomials.After a short introduction of Alexander-Conway and Jones polynomials, I shall present thedefinition of twisted Alexander polynomials and modules after Wada [4] and Lin [3]. The mainpart of my talk will be concerned with the applications of twisted polynomials to concordance,slicing and fibering of knots and/or 3-manifolds following Kirk-Livingston [2] and Friedl-Vidussi[1].

Topology and Combinatorics of Quasitoric ManifoldsQuasitoric manifolds are introduced by Davis and Januszkiewicz in [5] where they described

their cohomology ring and various topological invariants. They have nice combinatorial andgeometrical properties which are exposed in monograph [4]. The orbit space of torus actionis combinatorial simple polytope and these manifolds are closely related to Polyhedral productfunctor.

Our goal is to show some interesting facts about these manifolds based on papers [1] and[2]. We described several sets D(M,N) of integers which could be realized as the mappingdegree of certain map f : M → N where M and N are 2n-dimensional quasitoric manifolds.Also we construct quasitoric manifold over cube In that could not be totally skew embedded

in R8n−4α(n)+1, which is by famous result of Massey [9], the best possible bound that could beobtained using the theory of Stiefel-Whitney classes for complex manifolds. Using combinatorialproperties of the cohomology ring H∗(Q2n,Z2), we construct an interesting general non-trivialexample distinct then known example of complex projective spaces.

Combinatorial properties of polytope P and the characteristic matrix Λ say lot about topol-ogy and geometry of quasitoric manifolds over P . This is important class of complex manifoldswhich are topological analogue of toric varieties from algebraic geometry. Quasitoric manifoldsare common point of modern mathematical disciplines such as toric topology, algebraic geometry,topology, combinatorics and etc.

Homotopy operations on simplicial algebras over an operadIt is well known, following H. Cartan’s classic results, that the homotopy of a commutative

algebra, in positive characteristics, is endowed with a divided power algebra structure. B. Fressedemonstrated that it is possible to extend this result to any simplicial P -Algebra, with P anoperad. Here a divided power algebra structure is to be understood as ΓP -Algebra structure.In this talk I wish to introduce the definition of ΓP -Algebra and to discuss the structure of thehomotopy of a simplicial P -Algebra.

Poincare Duality for orbifold in Morava K-theoryIt was showed by Greenlees and Sadofsky that the classifying spaces of finite groups are

self-dual with respect to Morava K-theory K(n). Their duality map was constructed using atransfer map. I will describe a generalization of their map which would induce a K(n)-versionof Poincare duality for classifying spaces of orbifolds. Some examples of K(n)-fundamental classand intersection product will be given. If time permits, I will explain the similarity of thisduality map with that of the Spanier-Whitehead duality for manifolds from the point of view ofdifferentiable stacks.

Algorithmic algebraic topologyThe problem of computing the structure of the set [X,Y ], i.e. the set of homotopy classes of

maps f : X → Y is one of the classical problems in algebraic topology and the pursuit of resultsin this field has introduced a lot of ideas. Therefore it is natural to ask under what conditionsthe structure can be computed algorithmically or decide whether in some cases there is no suchalgorithmic solution. As we are dealing with algorithms, this topic has obvious overlaps intocomputer science.

It is well known, that when the spaces X,Y are in the stable range, [X,Y ] has a structureof finitely generated Abelian group. Recently, it has been proven that there is an algorithmthat computes the presentation of this group. In the talk I will present an algorithm decidingwhether two maps f, g ∈ [X,Y ] are homotopic in the case that Y is simply–connected finitesimplicial set and X is a finite simplicial set.

A quasicategorical theory of E-infinity bimonoidsMay’s theory of ‘pairs of operads’ aff ords us entry to the well-forti fied land of spaces which

have two operad actions, one of which distributes over the other. From this springs the def-inition of an E-infinity ring space, the natural topological analog of a commutative semiring.We summon various combinatorial entities which allow us to reconstruct this coherent bicom-mutativity in the language of quasicategories. By way of application, we give a new proof thatthe K-theory of a commutative ring is an E-infinity ring spectrum, as well as a definition ofsymmetric bimonoidal quasicategory.

A (monoidally) refined picture of stabilizationThis talk is based on joint work with David Gepner and Thomas Nikolaus. The stabilization

of presentable ∞-categories as described by Lurie is given by the pointed reflection followed bythe passage to internal spectrum objects. Abstractly, this amounts to passing from∞-categoriesfirst to pointed ∞-categories and then to stable ∞-categories.

We introduce two additional intermediate steps given by preadditive and additive ∞-cate-gories, and show that E∞-spaces and grouplike E∞-spaces are universal examples. Moreover,all ∞-categories showing up in the stabilization process admit unique closed monoidal struturescharacterized by the fact that the free functors are uniquely symmetric monoidal. If time allowswe will indicate an application to multiplicative infinite loop space machines and algebraic K-theory.

Massey products in A-infinity algebrasMassey products arise as obstruction classes to higher order operations. We frequently

encounter objects in a category equipped with a multiplication in practice. We would like toknow whether or not the multiplication is associative. The obstruction to associativity can begiven in terms of a Massey product. When dealing with multiplicative structure, one frequentlyencounters objects equipped with an “almost but not quite” associative multiplication, or moreprecisely a homotopy associative multiplication. Such objects are known as A-infinity objectsand arise in topology as loop spaces. During the talk, I will develop the relation between Masseyproducts and multiplicative structure in such a way that the generalization of a Massey productfrom a strictly associative to an A-infinity structure arises naturally.

A Pattern in Ljusternik-Schnirelmann categoryThe Ljusternik-Schnirelmann category of a space is one less than the number of contractible

open sets with which we can cover the space. If we look at the LS categories of the skeleta of aCW complex, we find a sequence of dimensions where the LS category changes. In this talk Idiscuss whether certain "categorical sequences" (defined in the paper of this name by Nendorf,Scoville, and Strom) could be realized as the categorical sequences of rational spaces. I will firstreduce from looking at all rational spaces to only Postnikov sections of finite wedges of spheres.Time permitting, I will show a simple pattern in the rational realizability of these sequences.

Towards an algebraic model of rational equivariant cohomology theoriesCohomology theories are represented by spectra. However, the category of spectra is quite

complicated. The machinery of model categories allows us to look for different (easier, algebraic)models with the same homotopy information as the category of spectra. It is well known thatrational chain complexes give an algebraic model for the rational cohomology theories. However,for G-equivariant cohomology theories, no general result of this form is known when G is acompact Lie group. In this talk I will describe some earlier work and introduce a framework forconstructing algebraic models in general. It is conjectured that the models will take the form ofsheaves of modules over a topological category of subgroups of G.

The Farrell-Jones and Baum-Connes ConjecturesWe introduce the Farrell-Jones conjectures concerning algebraic K-and L-theory of group

rings and the Baum-Connes conjecture concerning the topological K-theory of a certain com-pletion of the group ring to a C∗-algebra, which are formally very similar. The conjectures areimportant in the study of high-dimensional manifolds - the Farrell- Jones conjecture is connectedto surgery theory and the Baum-Connes conjecture to index theory. We want to mention someof these applications, for example to the Borel conjecture or the Novikov conjecture. Despitetheir formal similarities, nearly all known proofs of cases of the conjecture are very different.We will try to give the basic idea behind a common proof strategy.

A Multiplicative Delooping of Bimonoidal BicategoriesAt least since Robert Thomason’s paper "Symmetric Monoidal Categories model all Connec-

tive Spectra" in 1995 and the infinite loop space machines of May and Segal it has been a fruitfulendeavour to use symmetric monoidal categories as combinatorial models for phenomena in sta-ble homotopy theory. Further refinements of those machines by May and Elmendorf-Mandellallow for the study of ring spectra by bimonoidal categories. A result of Baas, Dundas, Richterand Rognes allows to interpret the two-step process of building K-theory of the spectrum as-sociated to a symmetric bimonoidal category as just one construction on the category itself.By work of Angelica Osorno this equivalence is indeed one of spectra. She used an adequatedelooping of monoidal bicategories for that effort.

In order to understand the multiplicative structure on such a spectrum I want to refine thisdelooping to a multiplicative delooping of bicategories in the spirit of Elmendorf’s and Mandell’s"Rings, Modules and Algebras in Infinite Loop Space Theory". By uniqueness results regardingK-theory and the trace map K → THH of Blumberg, Gepner and Tabuada this should yield anillumating proof to the phrase: The trace map from algebraicK-theory to topological Hochschildhomology is compatible with involutions.

In particular this result would allow to structure Christian Ausoni’s calculation of V (1)∗K(ku)with respect to the natural involution given by complex conjugation on ku = K(C), which isthe endeavour that started this work.

Double point self-intersection surfaces of immersionsGiven a smooth, compact, closed manifold M , the bordism classes of codimension k immer-

sions into n-dimensional real space are in one-to-one correspondence with elements of the stablehomotopy group πSnMO(k). By taking an element of this group and studying its image un-der the stable Hurewicz homomorphism hS : πSnMO(k) → HnMO(k) we can recover geometricinformation about the corresponding immersion.

In particular, given a self-transverse immersion f : Mk+2 → R2k+2 the set of all doubleintersection points in the image of f is itself the image of an immersion of a smooth surface.We then ask which surfaces can arise in this way. Following joint work by Peter Eccles andMohammad Asadi-Golmankhaneh and using the method outlined above, we shall see that thisself-intersection surface can be non-orientable only for certain odd values of k. If time andenthusiasm remain we shall then look at which stably complex structures can arise on these

surfaces if we insist that our immersion itself has a stably complex structure, which is my ownwork.

Dendroidal weak 2- and 3-categoriesDendroidal sets are a tool that let us study operads and infinity-operads similarly how

simplicial sets allow us studying categories and infinity-categories via the nerve functor. Aconsequence of this property is that we can give a compact definition of weak n-categories withdendroidal sets. The first goal of the talk is to show that the dendroidal definition of weakn-categories agrees with the classical notions of bicategories and tricategories in degree 2 and 3.I will also motivate why dendroidal weak n-categories are better than the other notions of weakn-categories with examples and formulations of some open problems in higher category theory.

The sense and (abstract) nonsense of triangulated categoriesTriangulated categories play a central role in many branches of mathematics, such as algebra,

geometry, topology and mathematical physics. By providing examples we discuss two sides of acoin: one side being the triangulated structures, the other one model structures. As an outlookwe hint at to what extent the coin can be flipped, transfering model structures into triangulatedstructures, and how far these structures are apart from each other.

Dyer-Lashof Operations and String TopologyDyer-Lashof operations are mod p homology operations on algebras over the little n-disks

operad. I will briefly describe how they’re constructed and how to calculate them. CraigWesterland showed that Dyer-Lashof operations appear non-trivially in the string topology ofspheres and real, complex, and quaternionic projective spaces. I will discuss prospects for similarcalculations in the string topology of other manifolds.

Homological stability for spaces of disconnected submanifoldsThis talk will be concerned with spaces of disconnected submanifolds: more precisely let M

be a connected open manifold and let Q be a closed manifold (which may be disconnected). Weare interested in the space (suitably topologised) of submanifolds of M diffeomorphic to Q, andhow the homology of this space depends on Q (for fixed M).

Since M is open, one can choose a canonical way of adding a new component P to a sub-manifold, which determines a map to the space of submanifolds of M diffeomorphic to Q q P .The question is then: is this map an isomorphism on homology up to some degree? (In fact,it’s easy to see that in general it is not surjective on H0, but this simply means that we shouldinstead look at each path-component of the space of submanifolds separately.)

When Q is zero-dimensional we are talking about classical (unordered) configuration spacesof points, for which there is a well-known homological stability result. The aim of this talk is todescribe a generalisation of this result to higher-dimensional submanifolds, in which the "rate"of stability depends on the number of components of Q which are isotopic to P .

Burnside rings and fusion systemsFor a finite group G, the Segal conjecture states that the 0’th stable cohomotopy group of

BG+, i.e. the homotopy classes of stable maps BG+, S0, is isomorphic to a suitable completion

A(G)∧ of the Burnside ring – which is the Grothendieck group of isomorphism classes of finiteG-sets, with disjoint union as addition, and cartesian product as multiplication. Every saturatedfusion system F over a p-group S has a classifying spectrum BF constructed by Kári Ragnarsson,and there is a version of the Segal conjecture relating BF to a subring of A(S) which we callthe Burnside ring A(F) for F . During this talk, I will give an introduction to the Burnside ringof a saturated fusion system and describe an explicit transfer map from A(S)∧ to A(F)∧. Wewill also see how we can use this map to get a better understanding of structure of A(F)∧.

Phantom Maps: Results and Conjectures.The study of topological phantom maps arguably began with Brayton Gray’s thesis in 1965.

A map X → Y of CW complexes is a phantom map if for any finite dimensional CW complexW the composition W → X → Y is trivial. Chuck McGibbon’s article "Phantom Maps" in theHandbook of Algebraic Topology is a wonderful survey of the basic theory. We write Ph(X,Y )for the set of phantom maps from X to Y . Since the constant map is phantom, we can be surephantom maps exist. Of more interest are essential phantom maps, i.e. phantom maps that arenot nullhomotopic. Since the property of being a phantom map is, in some sense, the propertyof being "nearly" trivial, we arrive at a natural question: can we quantify how nearly trivial anessential phantom map is? This question led to the development of the Gray index of a phantommap. Using the notion of Gray index, we construct a filtration on Ph(X,Y ) following Le MinhHa and Jeff Strom. Time permitting we will turn our attention to a new homotopy invariantderived from the Gray index, and state our preliminary findings for this invariant.

Witt-vectors and Nil-groupsLet R be a ring with 1, the Nil-groups of R are given by

NKn(R) = Kerε∗ : Kn(R(t))→ Kn(R)

where ε∗ is the map induced in K-theory by the agumentation map ε : R(t) → R sending t tozero. These groups appear in the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory as direct summandsof the K-theory of its (Lauerent) polynomial ring. It is well-known that NKn(R) = 0 for everyregular ring and that NKn(R) is either trivial or infinitely generated (as abelian group). Thisfact make them difficult to compute.

We study the case R = Z[G] for a finite group G. For a geometric taste think of G asthe fundamental group of space. A general strategy to study Nil-groups is to use the so-called“Verschiebung” and “Frobenius” operators. Moreover, the Nil-groups are modules over theVerschiebung and Frobenius algebra Z[N× N].

Once we assume that NKn(R) is not zero (thus infinitely generated abelian group) then wewonder whether Nil-groups are finitely generated as Z[N×N]-modules. A general answer is notknown yet and we give two examples of such computations.

We finish with a more combinatorial description of the Z[N×N]-module structure in terms ofthe completed Burnside ring. For this we introduce the concept of Witt-vector ring of the integers

W (Z) and use an isomorphism due to Dress and Siebeneicher between W (Z) and the completedBurnside ring of the infinite cyclic group Ω(C). Verschibung and Frobenius operators becomethen induction and restriction respectively, those are well-known in representation theory.

Cofibration categories and quasicategoriesApproaches to abstract homotopy theory fall into roughly two types: classical and higher

categorical. Classical models of homotopy theories are some structured categories equippedwith weak equivalences, for example model categories or cofibration categories in the sense ofAnderson, Baues, Brown and others. From the perspective of higher category theory homotopytheories are the same as (∞, 1)-categories and those have plenty of models, including quasicat-egories, complete Segal spaces and Segal categories.

The higher categorical approach sheds new light on homotopy theory, namely, it allows usto consider the homotopy theory of homotopy theories. Thus we can use homotopy theoreticmethods to compare various notions of homotopy theory. Most of the known notions of (∞, 1)-categories are equivalent to each other by explicit constructions and there is also a generalapproach to such comparisons due to Barwick, Schommer-Pries and Toën.

This raises a question: are the classical approaches equivalent to the higher categorical ones?I will provide a positive answer by constructing the homotopy theory of cofibration categories andexplaining how it is equivalent to the homotopy theory of (finitely) cocomplete quasicategories.

Exotic smooth structures on non-orientable 4-manifolds and involutionsWe describe how to construct inequivalent smooth structures for every closed non-orientable

4-manifold with fundamental group of order two that admits a Pin+-structure. A study of thesmooth structure on the universal cover of the manifolds constructed yield examples of exoticinvolutions. These results serve as a good excuse to review and exemplify the process of unveilingexotic smooth structures

Positive Curvature and TopologyWhich manifolds are positively curved? So far, only few objects are known to admit a

metric of positive sectional curvature. However, these examples have a rich but surprisinglysimple topological structure. In this talk we will study several topological quantities, such asthe cohomology ring and the elliptic genus, in the presence of positive curvature.

Bousfield lattices and smashing localizations of local categoriesGiven an object X in a well generated tensor triangulated category C (such as the stable

homotopy category, or its localizations), the Bousfield class of X is the collection of objectsthat tensor with X to zero. The set of Bousfield classes, ordered by reverse inclusion, forms alattice called the Bousfield lattice. The structure of this lattice gives insight into localizations,nilpotents, and subcategories of C. We will describe quotient functors that allow us to relatequotients of Bousfield lattices to Bousfield lattices of quotient categories. Specifically, we willdiscuss the Bousfield lattice of the E(n)-local, K(n)-local, and harmonic categories, and latticemorphisms between them. We will also discuss the telescope conjecture and generalized smashingconjecture on these local categories, and the relevance of Bousfield lattices to these questions.

Additional structures on En-cohomologyDifferential graded modules endowed with the structure of an En-algebra are algebraic ana-

logues of n-fold loop spaces. Since these algebras are defined as algebras over a certain operad,there is an associated notion of (co)homology of En-algebras. Recent efforts to understand En-homology better include a description of En-homology with trivial coefficients via an iteratedbar complex by Benoit Fresse. Based on this result Muriel Livernet and Birgit Richter give aninterpretation in terms of functor homology for commutative algebras, which Benoit Fresse thengeneralized to the case of arbitrary En -algebras. I will show how one can describe En-homologyof commutative algebras with a wider class of coefficients as functor homology. I will also discusshow the previous description allows us to define operations on the chain complex calculatingEn-cohomology.

Excursions

Hike: Haut-de-Caux → Col de Jaman → Montreux

Hiking time: 5 hours

Elevation gain: 360 m, Elevation loss: 1000 m

Approximate cost: 30 Fr. for the train ticket

To bring: Water (1.5 liters), lunch packet, sunscreen, rain jacket, shoes you are used to hikingwith

Difficulty: The hike is not technically difficult. Most of the hike is through meadows or theforest. The forest trail may be damp and thus a bit slippery at a few places. The physicaldifficulty is medium because of the change in elevation.

We will take a train to Montreux and then change to the Swiss Golden Pass Line. Gettingoff at Haut-de-Caux, we start our hike with a great view of the lake and the mountains. Thetrail through the alpine meadows leads to the Col de Jaman. Passing some cows, we will enterthe forest to hike down to the Gorge du Chauderon. This wild and natural landscape leads usback to Montreux.

You may spend the evening at the Montreux Jazz festival, enjoying some of the free concerts.

Page 20: Topology Conf

20

Rope Park

If you prefer a physically challenging activity but don’t want to go hiking, we will visit therope park in Aigle (30min by train + 20min walk). In the forest there, eight rope parcours, ofvarying difficulty, are waiting for us, on which you can cross the forest up to 15m above ground(of course always safely attached to a rope). On the way back, the train also stops in Montreux,where the well-known Jazz festival is taking place, which you might like to visit.

Unfortunately, the rope park is more on the pricey side, costing 35 Fr. per person plus thetrain ride (circa 30 Fr. round trip, depending on the group’s size). The cost of the harness andthe carabiner is included but you are required to bring stable footwear (sports shoes will do).

Art Gallery

Those who love art can join us to visit the Collection de l’Art Brut, offering a uniquecollection of international renown, committed to discovering, researching and preserving artisticcreations outside of mainstream practices.

The entrance fee is 10 Fr. (5 Fr. if you have a student card). If we are a group of at least6 people, it will cost only 5 Fr. per person. The gallery is open from 11:00 until 18:00 and islocated at Avenue des Bergières 11, Lausanne. To get there, you can take public buses n2, n3or n21 and get off at the stop “Beaulieu-Jomini”.

Conference DinnerThe Conference Dinner will take place at Le Châlet Suisse on Thursday, July 11, at 19:30. Itis an authentic Swiss restaurant located in the Sauvabelin woods, above Lausanne, and not farfrom the city center. The address of the restaurant is Route du Signal 40, Lausanne.

Before the dinner, starting from 19:00 there will be an Aperitif on a terrace near the restau-rant, with a picturesque view on Lausanne and Lake Geneva.

There are two ways to get to the restaurant: you can either walk from the metro stationFlon or Riponne-Maurice Béjart or use public transport.

To get there by public transport, you can take Bus n16 (direction: Grand-Vennes) at “Flon”and take off at “Signal” stop. The map below shows you how to get from the bus stop “Signal”to the terrace, where the Aperitif will be held.

If you prefer to walk, go to the Place du Tunnel. Walk up the stairs west of the tunnel. Crossthe road to take the Chemin du Petit Château. When you reach its end, turn right. Follow thewalking trail to the Museum Fondation de l’Hermitage and then continue walking uphill. After500m you reach the terrace from below.
