Gerstenhab er-Sc hac k diagram cohomology from op eradic p oin t of view Martin Doub ek ∗ , Charl es Univ ersity , Pragu e mart indo ubek@ seznam.cz April 25, 202 2 Abstract W e sho w that the op eradic cohomology for an y t yp e of algebras o v er a non-symmetric op erad A can b e computed as Ex t in the category of op eradic A -mo dules. W e use this principle to pro ve that the Gerstenhab er-S c hac k d iagram cohomology is op eradic co- homology . 1 In tro duction The O p eradic Cohomology (OC) giv es a systematic wa y of constru cting cohomology theories for algebras A o ve r an op erad A . It reco v ers the classical cases: Ho c hsc hild, Chev alle y-Eilenberg, Harrison etc. It also applies to algebras o v er coloured op erads (e.g. morphism of algebras) and o v er PR OPs (e.g. bialgebras). T he OC first app eared in pap ers [9], [8] by M. Markl. Abstractly , the OC is isomorp hic to the triple cohomolog y , at least for algebras ov er Koszul op erads [1]. It is also isomorph ic to the Andr´ e-Quillen Cohomolog y (AQC). In fact, the definition of OC is analogous to that of A QC: It co mpu tes the deriv ed functor of the functor Der of deriv atio ns lik e A QC, but does so in the cate gory of op erads. While AQC offers a wider f r eedom f or the c hoice of a r esolution of the giv en algebra A , OC uses a particular universal resolution f or all A -algebras (this resolution is implicit, tec hnically O C r esolv es the op er ad A ). Th us there is, for example, a u n iv ersal construction of an L ∞ structure on the complex computing OC [12], whose generalized Maurer-Cartan equation describ es formal deformations of A . The success of O C is du e to the Koszul dualit y theory [6], whic h allo ws u s to construct resolutions of Koszul op erads explicitly . Koszul theory has r eceiv ed a lot of atten tion recen tly [17] an d n o w goes b ey ond op erads . Ho w ev er, it still has its limitations: On one hand , it is b ound to quadratic relations in a present ation of the op erad A . The problem with higher relations can b e remedied by u sing a different pr esentati on, ∗ The author was supp or ted by GA ˇ CR 201/0 9/H012 . 1 but it comes at the cost of increasing the size of the r esolution (e.g. [18]). This is not a ma jor problem in applications, b ut the minimal resolutions hav e some n ice prop erties - namely they are unique up to an isomorph ism th us p ro viding a cohomology theory unique already at th e c hain lev el. So the construction of the minimal r esolutions is still of in terest. On the other h and, there are qu adratic op erads whic h are not Koszul and for those v ery little is kno wn [14]. In this pap er, we show that OC is isomorp hic to Ext in the category of op eradic A -mo dules. Th us ins tead o f resolving the op erad A , it suffices to fi nd a pro jectiv e resolution of a sp ecific A -mo dule MD A asso ciated to A . The id eas u sed h ere were already sk etc hed in th e pap er [12] by M. Markl. The resolution of op eradic mo du les are probably muc h easier to construct explicitly than resolutions of op erads, though this has to b e explored ye t. This sim p lification allo w s us to make a small step b eyond Koszul theory: An interesting examp le of a non-Koszul op erad is the coloured op erad describ ing a diagram of a fixed shap e consisting of algebras ov er a fixed op erad and m orphisms of those algebras. The case of a single morp h ism b et ween tw o algebras o v er a K oszul op erad is long wel l u ndersto o d . F or a m orp hism b et we en algebras o ve r a general op erad as well as for diagrams of a few simp le shap es, some partial results w ere ob tained in [11]. Th ese are h o w ev er not explicit enough to write do wn the O C. On the other hand, a satisfactory cohomology for diagrams w as inv ented by Ger- stenhab er and Sc hac k [4] in an ad-hoc manner. In [2], the authors pro v ed that the Gerstenhab er-Schac k cohomology of a single morphism of asso ciativ e or Lie algebras is op eradic cohomology . W e use our theory to extend this r esult to arb itrary diagrams. The metho d u sed can pr obably b e app lied in a more general con text to sho w that a gi ven co homology theory is isomorph ic to OC. The original example is [12] (and similar app roac h also a pp ears in [16]), wher e the author pro v es that Gerstenhab er- Sc hac k bialgebr a cohomol ogy is the op eradic cohomology . Also the metho d m ight give an insigh t in to th e stru cture of op eradic resolutions th ems elves, the problem we w on’t men tion in this p ap er. On th e wa y , w e obtain a mo d ification of the usual O C wh ic h includes the quotient b y infi nitesimal automorph isms (Section 3.3). Also an explicit description of a free resolution of the op erad A with adjoine d derivation is giv en if a free r esolution of A is explicitly give n. This app eared already in [12] an d pro duces sev eral n ew examples of m in imal resolutions and as such migh t b e of an indep enden t interest. W e assume the reader is familiar with the language of op erads (e.g. [15],[7]). Finally , I w ould lik e to thank Martin Markl for many usefu l d iscussions. 1.1 C on v en tion. As our main ob ject of in terest is a diagram of asso ciativ e algebras, w e will get b y with non-symmetric op erads, that is op erads with no actio n of the p ermutatio n group s . The resu lts can p robably b e generalized in a straigh tforward w a y to symmetric op erads. 2 Con ten ts 1 In tro duction 1 2 Basics 4 2.1 Op eradic mo dules . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 2.2 T ree comp osition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 2.3 F ree pro d uct of op erads . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 3 Op eradic cohomology of algebras 13 3.1 Reminder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 3.2 Algebras with deriv ation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 3.3 Augmen ted cotangen t complex . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 3.4 In termediate resolution of D A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 3.5 F rom op erads to op eradic m o dules . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26 4 Gerstenhab er-Sc hack diagram cohomology is op eradic cohomology 28 4.1 Op erad for diagrams . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 4.2 Gerstenhab er-Schac k d iagram cohomolog y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29 4.3 Resolution of MD A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 In Section 2 , we briefly recall b asic notions of the op erad th eory with focus on c olour e d op erad s (see also [10],[11 ]). W e pa y sp ecial atte ntio n to op eradic mo dules. W e in tro du ce the notion of tree comp osition whic h is just a conv enient wa y to write do wn complicat ed op eradic comp ositions. In Sectio n 2.3, w e discuss free pro d uct of op erads and obtain a form of the K ¨ unneth f orm ula compu ting homology of the free pro du ct. In Section 3 , we dev elop the theory sk etc hed b y M. Markl in App endix B of [12]. W e give full details for coloured op erads. W e b egin b y recalling the op eradic cohomology . In Section 3.2 , we constru ct an explicit resolution of the operad D A describing algebras ov er A with adjoined deriv ation assuming we kno w an explicit resolution of the op erad A . In Section 3.3, we clarify the significance of op eradic deriv ations on the resolution of D A with v alues in E nd A . Th is leads to an augmen tation of th e cotangen t complex whic h has n ice inte rp retation in terms of formal deformation theory . I n S ections 3.4 and 3.5, w e realize that all the information needed to construct augmen ted cohomology is con tained in a certain op eradic mo dule . This mo dule is in trinsically characte rized by b eing a resolution (in the category of op eradic mo d ules) of MD A , a certain mo d ule constru cted f r om A in a very simp le wa y . In Section 4 , we apply the theory to p ro v e that the Gerstenhab er-Sc hac k diagram cohomology is isomorphic to the operadic cohomolo gy . W e b egin by exp lainin g ho w a diagram of asso ciativ e algebras is describ ed b y an op erad A . W e also mak e the as- so ciated mo dule MD A explicit. Then w e recall the Gerstenhab er-Schac k cohomology and obtain a candidate for a resolution of MD A . In Section 4.3, w e v erify that the candidate is a v alid resolution. This computation is complicated, b ut still d emons trates the tec hnical adv an tage of passing to the mo dules. 3 2 Basics Fix the follo wing sym b ols: • C is a set of colours. • k is a field of c haracteristics 0. • N 0 is the set of natural num b ers in clud ing 0. W e will also us e the follo wing n otations and con ve ntio ns: • V ector spaces ov er k are called k -mo dules , c hain complexes of v ector spaces o v er k with differential of degree − 1 are called dg- k -mo dules and morph isms of c hain complexes are cal led just maps . Chain complexes are assum ed non-negativ ely graded unless stated otherwise. • | x | is the degree of an elemen t x of a dg- k -mo d ule. • H ∗ ( A ) is homology of the ob ject A , whatev er A is. • k h S i is the k -linear sp an of the set S . • ar( v ) is arity of th e ob ject v , wh atev er v is. • Quism is a map f of d g- k -mo dules suc h that th e in duced map H ∗ ( f ) on homology is an isomorphism. 2.1 Definit ion. A dg- C - collection X is a set  X  c c 1 , . . . , c n  | n ∈ N 0 , c, c 1 , . . . , c n ∈ C  of dg- k -mo dules. W e call c the output colour of elemen ts of X  c c 1 ,...,c n  , c 1 , . . . , c n are the input colours, n is the arity . W e also adm it n = 0. When the ab o v e dg- k -mo du les ha ve ze ro differential s, w e talk just ab ou t graded C -collection. If moreo ver no g radin g is giv en, we talk just about C -collecti on. All notions that follo w ha v e similar analogues. If the context is clear, we might omit the prefixes dg- C completely . A dg- C -op erad A is a dg- C -collection A together with a set of of dg- k -mo du le maps ◦ i : A  c c 1 , . . . , c k  ⊗ A  c i d 1 , · · · , d l  → A  c c 1 , · · · , c i − 1 , d 1 , · · · , d l , c i +1 , · · · c k  , called op er adic c omp ositions , one for eac h c hoice of k , l ∈ N 0 , 1 ≤ i ≤ k and c, c 1 , . . . , c k , d 1 , . . . , d l ∈ C , and a set of un its e : k → A  c c  , one for eac h c ∈ C . These maps satisfy the usual asso ciativit y and unit axioms, e.g. [15]. The initial dg- C -op erad is denoted I . 4 Equiv alentl y , d g- C -op erad is a monoid in the monoidal catego ry of dg- C -collections with the comp osition pro duct ◦ : ( A ◦ B )  c c 1 , . . . , c n  := M k ≥ 0 , i 1 ,...,i k ≥ 0 , d 1 ,...,d k ∈ C A  c d 1 , . . . , d k  ⊗ B  d 1 c 1 , . . . , c i 1  ⊗ · · · ⊗ B  d k c i 1 + ··· i k − 1 +1 , . . . , c n  . In contrast to the uncoloured op erads, the comp osition is defin ed only for the “correct” colours and there is one un it in eve ry colour, i.e. I  c c  = k for eve ry c ∈ C . Hence we usu ally talk ab out the un its . W e denote b y 1 c the image of 1 ∈ k = I  c c  , hence Im e = L c ∈ C k h 1 c i . The notation 1 c for units coincides with th e notation for iden tit y morphisms. The right meaning will alwa ys b e clear from the conte xt. F or a dg- C -op erad A , we can consid er its homology H ∗ ( A ). Th e op eradic comp o- sition d escends to H ∗ ( A ). Obviously , the un its 1 c are concent rated in degree 0 and by our conv ention on non-negativit y of the grading, 1 c defines a homology class [ 1 c ]. It is a unit in H ∗ ( A ). It can happ en th at [ 1 c ] = 0 in which case it is easily seen that H ∗ ( A )  c 0 c 1 ,...,c n  = 0 whenev er an y of c i ’s equals c . If all [ 1 c ]’s are nonzero, then H ∗ ( A ) is a graded C -operad. Let M 1 and M 2 b e t wo dg- C -col lections. Then dg- C -collection morphism f is a set of dg maps f  c c 1 , . . . , c n  : M 1  c c 1 , . . . , c n  → M 2  c c 1 , . . . , c n  , one for eac h n ∈ N 0 , c, c 1 , . . . , c n ∈ C . The dg- C -collection m orphisms are comp osed “colourwise” in the obvious wa y . A dg- C -op erad morphism is a d g- C -colle ction morphisms preserving the op - eradic comp ositions and un its. Recall th at give n a dg- k -mo d ule A , the endomorp hism op er ad E nd A is equipp ed with the differenti al ∂ E nd A f := ∂ A f − ( − 1) | f | f ∂ A ⊗ n for f ∈ E nd A ( n ) homogeneous. Let th ere b e a d ecomp osition ( A, ∂ A ) = M c ∈ C ( A c , ∂ A c ) . Then the endomorphism op erad is naturally a d g- C -op er ad via E nd A  c c 1 , . . . , c n  := Hom k ( A c 1 ⊕ · · · ⊕ A c n , A c ) . An algebra ov er a dg- C -operad A is a dg- C -op erad morphism ( A , ∂ A ) → ( E nd A , ∂ E nd A ) . 5 2.1 Op eradic mo dules 2.2 Definit ion. Let A = ( A , ∂ A ) b e a dg- C -op erad. An (op eradic) dg- A -mo dule M is a dg- C -c ollection  M  c c 1 , . . . , c n  | n ∈ N 0 , c, c 1 , . . . , c n ∈ C  with structure maps ◦ L i : A  c c 1 , · · · , c k  ⊗ M  c i d 1 , · · · , d l  → M  c c 1 , · · · , c i − 1 , d 1 , · · · , d l , c i +1 , · · · c k  , ◦ R i : M  c c 1 , · · · , c k  ⊗ A  c i d 1 , · · · , d l  → M  c c 1 , · · · , c i − 1 , d 1 , · · · , d l , c i +1 , · · · c k  , one for eac h c hoice of c, c 1 , · · · , d 1 , · · · ∈ C and 1 ≤ i ≤ k . T hese structure maps are required to satisfy the exp ected axioms: ( α 1 ◦ j α 2 ) ◦ L i m =      ( − 1) | α 2 || m | ( α 1 ◦ L i m ) ◦ R j +ar( m ) − 1 α 2 . . . i < j α 1 ◦ L j ( α 2 ◦ L i − j +1 m ) . . . j ≤ i ≤ j + ar( α 2 ) − 1 ( − 1) | α 2 || m | ( α 1 ◦ L i − ar( α 2 )+1 ) ◦ R j α 2 . . . i ≥ j + ar( α 2 ) , m ◦ R i ( α 1 ◦ j α 2 ) = ( m ◦ R i α 1 ) ◦ R j + i − 1 α 2 , ( α 1 ◦ L i m ) ◦ R j α 2 =      ( − 1) | α 2 || m | ( α 1 ◦ j α 2 ) ◦ L i +ar( α 2 ) − 1 m · · · j < i α 1 ◦ L i ( m ◦ R j − i +1 α 2 ) · · · i ≤ j ≤ i + ar( m ) − 1 ( − 1) | α 2 || m | ( α 1 ◦ j − ar( m )+1 α 2 ) ◦ L i m · · · j ≥ i + ar( m ) and 1 c ◦ 1 m = m = m ◦ i 1 c i . . . 1 ≤ i ≤ ar( m ) for α 1 , α 2 ∈ A and m ∈ M  c c 1 , ··· ,c ar( m )  in the correct colours. W e usually omit the upp er indices L, R , w riting on ly ◦ i for all the op erations. A morphism of dg- A -modules M 1 , M 2 is a d g- C -colle ction m orp hism M 1 f − → M 2 satisfying f ( a ◦ L i m ) = a ◦ L i f ( m ) , f ( m ◦ R i a ) = f ( m ) ◦ R i a. W e expand the d efinition of dg- A -mo dule. Recall that eac h M  c c 1 ,...,c n  is a a dg- k -mo dule. The differen tials of these dg- k -mo du les define a dg- C -collection morp hism ∂ M : M → M of degree − 1 sati sfying ∂ 2 M = 0. The structure m ap s ◦ L i and ◦ R i comm ute w ith the d ifferen tials on the tensor pro du cts. Hence ∂ M : M → M is a deriv ation in the f ollo w in g sense: ∂ M ( a ◦ i m ) = ∂ A a ◦ i m + ( − 1) | a | a ◦ i ∂ M m, ∂ M ( m ◦ i a ) = ∂ M m ◦ i a + ( − 1) | m | m ◦ i ∂ A a. As in the case of mo du les o v er a ring, A -mo dules form an ab elian category . W e hav e “colourwise” ke rn els, coke rn els, sub m o dules etc. There is a fr ee A -mo du le generated b y a C -col lection M , denoted A h M i 6 and satisfying the u sual universal p rop erty . As an example of an explicit description of A h M i , let A := F ( M 1 ) b e a free C -o p erad generated b y a C -collection M 1 . Then A h M 2 i is spanned b y all planar trees, wh ose exactl y o ne verte x is d ecorated by an elemen t of M 2 and all the other v ertices are decorated by elemen ts of M 1 suc h that the colours are resp ected in the obvio us sense. W e wa rn the reader that the notion of op eradic mo du le v aries in th e literature. F or example the monograph [3] uses a different defi nition. While dealing with A -mo dules, it is useful to in tro du ce the follo wing infinitesimal comp osition pro duct A ◦ ′ ( B , C ) of C -collec tions A , B , C : ( A ◦ ′ ( B , C ))  c c 1 , . . . , c n  := (1) M k ≥ 0 ,l> 0 , 0 ≤ i 1 ≤ ... ≤ i k − 1 ≤ n, d 1 ,...,d k ∈ C A  c d 1 ,..., d k  ⊗ B  d 1 c 1 ,..., c i 1  ⊗ · · · ⊗ C  d l c i l − 1 +1 ,..., c i l  | {z } l th − posi tion ⊗ · · · ⊗B  d k c i k − 1 +1 ,..., c n  . See also [7]. W e denote by A ◦ ′ l ( B , C ) the pro jection of A ◦ ′ ( B , C ) onto the comp onent w ith fi xed l . F or the free mo dule, we hav e the follo w ing d escription using the infi nitesimal com- p osition pr o duct: A h M i ∼ = A ◦ ′ ( I , M ◦ A ) . 2.2 T ree comp osition An (un orien ted) gr aph (without lo ops) is a set V of vertic es, a set H v of half edges for ev ery v ∈ V and a set E of (distinct) unordered pairs (called e dges ) of distinct elemen ts of V . If e := ( v , w ) ∈ E , w e sa y that the vertic es v , w are adjacen t to the edge e and the edge e is adjacen t to th e vertic es v , w . Denote E v the set of all edges adjacen t to v . Similarly , f or h ∈ H v , w e sa y that th e v ertex v is adjacen t to the half edge h and vice v ersa. A p ath connecting vertice s v , w is a sequence ( v , v 1 ) , ( v 1 , v 2 ) , . . . , ( v n , w ) of distinct edges. A tr e e is a graph suc h that for ev ery t wo vertic es v , w there is a path connecting them iff v 6 = w . A r o ote d tr ee is a tree with a c hosen half edge, called r o ot . The r o ot vertex is the un ique v ertex adjacent to the ro ot. The half edges other than the ro ot are called le aves . F or eve ry vertex v except for the ro ot v ertex, there is a unique edge e v ∈ E v con tained in the unique p ath connecting v to the ro ot ve rtex. T h e edge e v is called output and the other edges and h alf edges adj acen t to v are called le gs or inputs of v . Th e ro ot is, b y definition, the outpu t of the root v ertex. The n umber of legs of v is called arity of v and is denoted ar( v ) . Notice we also admit v ertices w ith no legs, i.e. vertic es of arit y 0. A planar tree is a tree with a given ordering of th e set H v ⊔ E v − { e v } for eac h v ∈ V (the notatio n ⊔ stands for the disjoint union). The planarit y induces an ordering on the s et of all leav es, e.g. by num b erin g them 1 , 2 , . . . . F or example, ro ot 1 2 1 2 1 2 7 is a planar tree w ith 3 v ertices, 3 half edges and 2 edges. W e use th e con v ent ion that the topm ost half edge is alw a ys the ro ot. Th en there are 2 lea ve s. The planar ordering of legs of all v ertices is denoted b y small n umb ers an d the induced ordering of lea ve s is denoted by big num b ers. Let T 1 , T 2 b e tw o planar ro oted tr ees, let T 1 ha v e n lea v es and for j = 1 , 2 let V j resp. H j,v resp. E j denote the set of vertices resp. half edges resp. edges of T j . F or 1 ≤ i ≤ n we hav e the grafting op eration ◦ i pro du cing a planar r o oted tree T 1 ◦ i T 2 defined as follo ws: first denote l the i th leg of T 1 and denote v 1 the vertex adjacent to l , den ote r the ro ot of T 2 and denote v 2 the ro ot v ertex of T 2 . Then the set of v ertices of T 1 ◦ i T 2 is V 1 ⊔ V 2 , th e set H v of h alf edges is H v =        H 1 ,v . . . v ∈ V 1 − { v 1 } H 1 ,v 1 − { l } . . . v = v 1 H 2 ,v . . . v ∈ V 2 − { v 2 } H 2 ,v 2 − { r } . . . v = v 2 , and finally th e set of edges is E 1 ⊔ E 2 ⊔ { ( v 1 , v 2 ) } . The planar s tr ucture is inh erited in the ob vious wa y . F or example, 1 2 1 2 1 2 ◦ 2 1 2 1 2 = 1 2 1 2 1 1 2 3 2 . F rom th is p oin t on, tr e e will alw a ys mean a planar rooted tree. Suc h trees can b e used to enco de comp ositio ns of elemen ts of an op erad includ ing th ose of arit y 0. Let T b e a tree with n vertice s v 1 , . . . , v n . Su pp ose moreo v er that the vertices of T are ordered, i.e. there is a bijection b : { v 1 , . . . , v n } → { 1 , . . . , n } . W e denote su c h a tree with ordered v ertices by T b . No w we exp lain how the bijection b induces a structure of tree with leve ls on T b suc h that eac h vertex is on a differen t lev el. Intuitiv ely , b en co d es in wh at or der are elemen ts of an op erad comp osed. W e form alize this as follo ws: Let p 1 , . . . , p n ∈ P be elemen ts of a d g- C -op erad P such that if t w o v ertices v i , v j are adjacen t to a common edge e , which is simultaneously the l th leg of v i and the output of v j , then the l th input colour of p i equals the output colour of p j . W e sa y that v i is de c or ate d by p i . Define inductiv ely: Let i b e su c h that v i is th e ro ot ve rtex. Define T 1 := v i , T 1 b ( p 1 , . . . , p n ) := p i . Here w e are identifying v i with the corresp ond ing corolla. Assume a subtree T k − 1 of T and T k − 1 b ( p 1 , . . . , p n ) ∈ P are already defined . Consider th e set J of all j ’s such that v j 6∈ T k − 1 and there is an edge e b et ween v j and some v ertex v in T k − 1 . Let i ∈ J b e suc h that b ( v i ) = min { b ( v j ) : j ∈ J } . Let l b e th e num b er of the leg e of v ertex v in the planar ordering of T and define T k := T k − 1 ◦ l v i , T k b ( p 1 , . . . , p n ) := T k − 1 b ( p 1 , . . . , p n ) ◦ l p i . 8 In the upp er equation, w e are u sing the op eration ◦ l of grafting of trees. Fi nally T b ( p 1 , . . . , p n ) := T n b ( p 1 , . . . , p n ) . T b ( p 1 , . . . , p n ) is called tree comp osition of p 1 , . . . , p n along T b . If T and p i ’s are fixed, c hanging b ma y change the sign of T b ( p 1 , . . . , p n ). Observe that if P is concent rated in ev en d egrees (in particular 0) then the sign d o esn’t c hange. If b is under s to o d and fixed, we usu ally omit it. F or example, let T := v 1 v 2 v 3 F or i = 1 , 2 , 3, let p i b e an elemen t of degree 1 and arity 2. Let b ( v 1 ) = 1, b ( v 2 ) = 2, b ( v 3 ) = 3 an d b ′ ( v 1 ) = 1, b ′ ( v 2 ) = 3, b ( v 3 ) = 2. Then T b ( p 1 , p 2 , p 3 ) = ( p 1 ◦ 1 p 2 ) ◦ 3 p 3 and T b ′ ( p 1 , p 2 , p 3 ) = ( p 1 ◦ 2 p 3 ) ◦ 1 p 2 and b y the asso ciativit y axiom T b ( p 1 , p 2 , p 3 ) = − T b ′ ( p 1 , p 2 , p 3 ) . A u seful observ ation is that we can alwa ys reindex p i ’s s o that T b ( p 1 , . . . , p n ) = ( · · · (( p 1 ◦ i 1 p 2 ) ◦ i 2 p 3 ) · · · ◦ i n − 1 p n ) (2) for some i 1 , i 2 , . . . , i n − 1 . T ree comp ositions are a conv enient n otation for dealing with op eradic d er iv ations. 2.3 F ree pro duct of op erads 2.3 Definit ion. F ree product A ∗ B of dg- C -op erads A , B is the co pr o duct A ` B in the category of dg- C -operads. Let A, B b e d g- k -mo dules. The usu al K ¨ unneth formula states th at th e map H ∗ ( A ) ⊗ H ∗ ( B ) ι − → H ∗ ( A ⊗ B ) (3) [ a ] ⊗ [ b ] 7→ [ a ⊗ b ] is a natur al isomorphism of dg- k -mo dules, wh er e [ ] denotes a homology class. Our aim here is to pro ve an analogue of the K ¨ unneth formula for th e free pro duct of op erads, that is H ∗ ( A ) ∗ H ∗ ( B ) ∼ = H ∗ ( A ∗ B ) (4) naturally as C -op er ad s . First w e describ e A ∗ B m ore exp licitly . In tuitiv ely , A ∗ B is spanned by trees whose v ertices are decorated by elemen ts of A or B s u c h that no t wo v ertices adjacent to a common edge are b oth decorated by A or b oth by B . Unfortunately , this is not quite true - there are problems with un its of the op erads. 9 Recall a dg- C -operad P is called augmente d iff th ere is a dg- C -operad morph ism P a − → I in v erting the unit of P on the left, i.e. the comp osition I e − → P a − → I is 1 I . The k ernel of a is d enoted by P and usually called augmenta tion ideal. If A , B are augmen ted, we let the v ertices b e decorated by the augmen tation ideals A , B instead of A , B and the ab o v e description of A ∗ B works wel l. I n fact, this has b een already treated in [10]. Ho w ev er we will w ork without the augment ation assump tion. Ch o ose a sub - C - collect ion A of A such that A ⊕ 1 A = A , (5) Im ∂ A ⊂ A , (6) where 1 A := M c ∈ C k h 1 c i . This is p ossible iff [ 1 c ] 6 = 0 for all c ∈ C, that is if H ∗ ( A ) is a graded C -o p erad. This m igh t not b e the case generally as we h a v e already seen at th e b eginning of Section 2 so let’s assume it. Choose B for B similarly . F or giv en A , B , a free pro duct tree is a tree T together with c ( v ) , c 1 ( v ) , c 2 ( v ) , . . . , c ar( v ) ( v ) ∈ C for eac h vertex v and a map P : vertic es of T → {A , B } (7) suc h that if vertices v 1 , v 2 are adjacen t to a common edge, whic h is simultaneo usly th e l th leg of v 1 and the output of v 2 , then c l ( v 1 ) = c ( v 2 ) and P ( v 1 ) 6 = P ( v 2 ) . Finally , the description of the free pro d uct is as follo ws: A ∗ B := M c ∈ C k h 1 c i ⊕ M T O v P ( v )  c ( v ) c 1 ( v ) , . . . , c ar( v ) ( v )  , (8) where T runs o v er all isomorphism classes of free pro duct trees and v run s ov er a ll v ertices of T and 1 c ’s are of degree 0. If the v ertices of T are v 1 , . . . , v n then every elemen t of N v P ( v )  c ( v ) c 1 ( v ) ,... ,c ar( v ) ( v )  can b e wr itten as a tree comp osition T ( x 1 , . . . , x n ) where x i ∈ P ( v i ). W e say that v i is d ecorated by x i . The op eradic comp osition T ( x 1 , . . . , x n ) ◦ i T ′ ( x ′ 1 , . . . , x ′ m ) in A ∗ B is defined in the ob vious wa y by grafting T an d T ′ (the result T ◦ i T ′ of the grafting ma y not b e a free pr o duct tree) and th en (rep eatedly) applying the follo wing r e duci ng op er ations : 10 1. Su pp ose w 1 , w 2 are v ertices of T ◦ i T ′ adjacen t to a common edge e which is sim ultaneously the l th leg of w 1 and the output of w 2 . Sup p ose moreo v er that w 1 is decorated by p 1 and w 2 b y p 2 . If b oth p 1 , p 2 are elemen ts of A or b oth of B , then con tract e and d ecorate th e resu lting v ertex by the comp osition of p 1 ◦ l p 2 . 2. If a v ertex is decorated by a unit fr om 1 A or 1 B (this ma y happ en s ince neither A nor B is generally closed under the comp osition!), omit it u n less it is the only remaining v ertex of the tree. After sev eral app lications of the ab o v e reducing op erations, we obtain a f ree pro d u ct tree or a tree with a single v ertex decorate d b y a unit. Ob viously , 1 c ’s are units f or th is comp osition. The differen tial ∂ on A ∗ B is determined by (8) and the requirement that ∂ ( 1 c ) = 0 for ev ery c ∈ C . It has the deriv ation prop ert y and equals the differen tial on A resp. B up on the r estriction o n the corresp onding sub- C -op er ad of A ∗ B . Exp licitly , for T ( x 1 , . . . , x n ) ∈ A ∗ B with x i ∈ A or B , assuming (2), we h a v e ∂ ( T ( x 1 , . . . , x n )) = n X i =1 ǫ i T ( x 1 , . . . , ∂ ( x i ) , . . . , x n ) , where ǫ i := ( − 1) P i − 1 j =1 | x j | . It is ea sily seen th at the dg- C -op erad ( A ∗ B , ∂ ) j ust describ ed has the required unive rsal p rop erty of th e copro duct. No w we are prepared to prov e a v ersion of (4) in a certain sp ecial case: 2.4 L e mma. Let ( A , ∂ A ) α − → ( A ′ , ∂ A ′ ) and ( B , ∂ B ) β − → ( B ′ , ∂ B ′ ) b e quism s of dg- C -op erads, that is we assume homology of A , A ′ , B , B ′ are graded C -op er ad s and H ∗ ( α ) , H ∗ ( β ) are g raded C -op erad isomorph isms. Then there are graded C -o p erad isomorphisms ι, ι ′ suc h that the follo wing diagram commutes: H ∗ ( A ) ∗ H ∗ ( B ) ι ✲ H ∗ ( A ∗ B ) H ∗ ( A ′ ) ∗ H ∗ ( B ′ ) H ∗ ( α ) ∗ H ∗ ( β ) ❄ ι ′ ✲ H ∗ ( A ′ ∗ B ′ ) H ∗ ( α ∗ β ) ❄ Pr o of. Cho ose A , B so that (5) and (6) hold. No w we wan t to c ho ose A ′ ⊂ A ′ so that A ′ ⊕ 1 A ′ = A ′ , α ( A ) ⊂ A ′ (9) and c ho ose B ′ ⊂ B ′ similarly . T o see th at th is is p ossible, we obser ve α ( A ) ∩ 1 A ′ = 0: If α ( a ) ∈ 1 A ′ for some a ∈ A , there is u ∈ 1 A suc h that α ( u ) = α ( a ), hen ce α ( a − u ) = 0 and ∂ A ( a − u ) = 0 since b oth a and u are of degree 0. Since α is a quism, a − u = ∂ A a for some a ∈ A and by the prop ert y (6) of A w e ha ve a − u ∈ A . But this im p lies u ∈ A , a con tradiction. 11 No w use the explicit description (8) of the free pro duct A ∗ B and the u sual K ¨ unneth form ula (3) to ob tain an isomorp hism H ∗ ( A ) ∗ H ∗ ( B ) = M T O v H ∗ ( P ( v )) ι − → H ∗ ( M T O v P ( v )) = H ∗ ( A ∗ B ) and similarly for A ′ , B ′ . Assume w e are giv en a f r ee pro duct tree T and its v ertex v . The tree T comes equipp ed with P as in (7). Let P ′ ( v ) := ( P ( v )) ′ = ( A ′ for P ( v ) = A B ′ for P ( v ) = B and define a map π ( v ) : P ( v ) → P ′ ( v ) , π ( v ) =  α for P ( v ) = A β for P ( v ) = B . This is justified by (9). Then the f ollo w ing diagram M T O v H ∗ ( P ( v )) ι ✲ H ∗ ( M T O v P ( v )) M T O v H ∗ ( P ′ ( v )) L T N v H ∗ ( π ( v )) ❄ ι ′ ✲ H ∗ ( M T O v P ′ ( v )) H ∗ ( L T N v π ( v )) ❄ comm utes by the naturality of the usu al K ¨ un n eth form ula. The horizon tal C -collection isomorphism ι is giv en in terms of tree comp ositio ns b y the formula ι ( T ([ x 1 ] , [ x 2 ] , . . . )) = [ T ( x 1 , x 2 , . . . )] , where x 1 , x 2 , . . . ∈ A or B . No w we verify th at ι preserves the op eradic comp osition: ι ( T x ([ x 1 ] , . . . )) ◦ i ι ( T y ([ y 1 ] , . . . )) = ι ( T x ([ x 1 ] , . . . ) ◦ i T y ([ y 1 ] , . . . )) . The left-hand side equals [ T x ( x 1 , . . . ) ◦ i T y ( y 1 , . . . )], so w e chec k [ T x ( x 1 , . . . ) ◦ i T y ( y 1 , . . . )] = ι ( T x ([ x 1 ] , . . . ) ◦ i T y ([ y 1 ] , . . . )) . W e wo uld lik e to p erform the same reducing op erations on T x ( x 1 , . . . ) ◦ i T y ( y 1 , . . . ) and T x ([ x 1 ] , . . . ) ◦ i T y ([ y 1 ] , . . . ) p arallely . F or the fi rst r educing op eration, this is OK. F or the second one, if, s a y , [ x 1 ] ∈ 1 H ∗ ( A ) , then x 1 = u + ∂ A a for some u ∈ 1 A and a ∈ A . Hence T x ( x 1 , . . . ) = T x ( u, . . . ) + T x ( ∂ A a, . . . ). So we ca n go on with T x ( u, . . . ) ◦ i T y ( y 1 , . . . ) and T x ([ x 1 ] , . . . ) ◦ i T y ([ y 1 ] , . . . ), ommiting th e verte x v 1 decorated by u resp. [ x 1 ], but w e also hav e to apply the r educing op erations to T x ( ∂ A a, . . . ) ◦ i T y ( y 1 , . . . ). As it turn s out, this tree comp osition is a b oundary in A ∗ B .

Pr o of (of The or em 3.5). Ob viously ρ D R has degree 0 and comm utes w ith differential s b ecause of the r elations in DA . Let’s abbreviate ∂ D R =: ∂ . Firs t we wan t to use a sp ectral s equ ence to s plit ∂ suc h that ∂ 0 , the 0 th page part of ∂ , is non trivial only on the generators from X . Let’s put an additional grad in g gr on the C -collec tion X ⊕ Φ ⊕ X of generators: gr( x ) := | x | , gr( φ ) := 1 , gr( x ) := | x | . This in duces a grad in g on D R determined b y th e requirement that the comp osition is of gr degree 0. Let F p := p M i =0 { z ∈ D R | gr( z ) = i } . Ob viously ∂ D R F p ⊂ F p . Consider the sp ectral sequence E ∗ asso ciated to the filtration 0 ֒ → F 0 ֒ → F 1 ֒ → · · · of D R . O n DA we hav e the trivial filtration 0 ֒ → D A and the asso ciated sp ectral sequence E ′∗ .

T o see that ρ D R 1 : E 1 → E ′ 1 induced b y ρ D R is a qu ism, observe that we can use the r elations (12) in D A to ”mo v e all the φ ’s to the b ottom of the tree comp ositions”, hence, denoting Φ ′ := F (Φ) , w e hav e D A ∼ = A ◦ Φ ′ . The comp osition and the different ial on A ◦ Φ ′ are trans f erred along this isomorphism from D A . S imilarly , F ( X ⊕ Φ) D ∼ = F ( X ) ◦ Φ ′ . (17) Under these quisms ρ D R 1 b ecomes ρ R ◦ 1 Φ ′ . (18) It remains to use the usu al K ¨ unneth formula (3) to fi nish the p ro of. Pr o of (of Sublemma 3.7). Denote φ m c := φ c ◦ 1 · · · ◦ 1 φ c the m -fold comp osition of φ c . Let D R 0 := F ( X ⊕ Φ) and, for n ≥ 0, let D R n +1 ⊂ D R b e spann ed by element s φ m c ◦ 1 x ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , x ar( x ) ) and φ m c ◦ 1 x ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , x ar( x ) ) 18 for all x ∈ X  c c 1 ,...,c ar( x )  , m ≥ 0 , x i ∈ D R n  c i ···  , 1 ≤ i ≤ ar( x ). In other wo rds , D R n +1 = Φ ′ ◦ ( X ⊕ X ) ◦ DR n . D R n is ob viously closed u nder ∂ 0 and D R 0 ֒ → D R 1 ֒ → · · · → colim n D R n ∼ = D R , where the colimit is tak en in the category of dg- C -colle ctions. Before we go furth er, w e m ust make a short notatio nal digression. Let T ( g 1 , . . . , g m ) b e a tree comp osition with g i ∈ X ⊔ Φ ⊔ X for 1 ≤ i ≤ m . Recall the tree T has vertices v 1 , . . . , v m decorated b y g 1 , . . . , g m (in that order). W e say that g j is in depth d in T ( g 1 , . . . , g j , . . . , g m ) iff th e sh ortest p ath from v j to the root ve rtex passes through exactly d v ertices (includ ing v j and the ro ot v ertex) d ecorated by elemen ts of X ⊔ X . As an example, consider g 1 g 2 g 3 g 4 If g 1 , g 3 , g 4 ∈ X and g 2 ∈ Φ, then g 1 , g 2 are in d epth 1 and g 3 , g 4 are in depth 2. Using the notion of depth, the d efi nition of D R n can b e rephrased as follo ws: D R n is sp anned by T ( g 1 , . . . , g m ) with g i ∈ X ⊔ Φ ⊔ X , 1 ≤ i ≤ m , suc h that if g j ∈ X for some j , then g j is in d epth ≤ n in T ( g 1 , . . . , g m ). Consider the quotien t Q n of F ( X ⊕ Φ) by the id eal generated by elemen ts T ( g 1 , . . . , g j − 1 , φ c ◦ 1 x j − ar( x j ) X i =0 x j ◦ i φ c i , g j +1 , . . . , g m ) for any tree T , an y g 1 , . . . , g j − 1 , g j +1 , . . . , g m ∈ X ⊔ Φ and any x j ∈ X in depth ≤ n in T ( g 1 , . . . , g j − 1 , x j , g j +1 , . . . , g m ). Th ere are obvio us pro jections F ( X ⊕ Φ) = Q 0 ։ Q 1 ։ · · · → colim n Q n ∼ = F ( X ⊕ Φ) D . T o see the la st isomorphism, observ e that w e ca n us e the relatio ns d efining Q n to ”mo v e” the φ c ’s in tree comp ositions so that th ey are all in depth ≥ n or in p ositions suc h that their in puts are lea ves, then use (17). F or example, consider the follo wing computation in Q 2 , where the b lac k v ertices are decorated by X and white vertice s b y Φ: = + = = + 2 + + + . Notice that we can’t get the white v ertices any deep er in Q 2 . 19 In p articular, Q n +1 ∼ = X ◦ Q n . (19) Ob viously H ∗ ( D R 0 , ∂ 0 ) ∼ = Q 0 and w e claim that H ∗ ( D R n , ∂ 0 ) ∼ = Q n for n ≥ 1. Supp ose th e claim holds for n and we pr o v e it for n + 1. The idea is to use a sp ectral sequence to get rid of the last su m in the formula ∂ 0 ( φ m c ◦ 1 x ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , x ar( x ) )) = φ m +1 c ◦ 1 x ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , x ar( x ) ) + − ar( x ) X i =1 φ m ◦ 1 x ◦ i φ ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , x ar( x ) ) + +( − 1) | x | ar( x ) X i =1 ( − 1) P i − 1 j =1 | x j | φ m ◦ 1 x ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , ∂ 0 ( x i ) , . . . , x ar( x ) ) . Consider the sp ectral sequence E 0 ∗ on D R n +1 asso ciated to the filtration 0 ֒ → G 0 ֒ → G 1 ֒ → · · · ֒ → D R n , where G k is s panned b y φ m ◦ 1 g ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , x ar( x ) ) for all m ≥ 0, g ∈ X ⊕ X , x i ∈ D R n and P ar( x ) i =1 | x i | ≤ k . Obvio usly ∂ 0 : G k → G k . W e will use the comparison theorem for the obvious pr o jection D R n +1 pr − → Q n +1 . W e consider the zero d ifferential on Q n +1 . It is easily seen that pr ∂ 0 = 0, hen ce pr is dg- C -collection morphism. W e equ ip Q n +1 with th e trivial fi ltration 0 ֒ → Q n +1 and consider the asso ciated sp ectral sequ ence E ′ 0 ∗ . Again, b oth filtrations are b ound ed b elo w and exh austiv e. On th e 0 th page E 00 ∼ = D R n +1 , the differen tial ∂ 00 has the desired form: ∂ 00 ( φ m ◦ 1 x ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , x ar( x ) )) = φ m +1 c ◦ 1 x ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , x ar( x ) ) − ar( x ) X i =1 φ m ◦ 1 x ◦ i φ ◦ ( x 1 , . . . , x ar( x ) ) and ∂ 00 is zero on other elemen ts. F or this differential ∂ 00 , it is (at last!) clear h o w its k ernel lo oks (compare to ∂ 0 ), namely Ker ∂ 00 = F ( X ⊕ Φ) ◦ D R n . Hence H ∗ ( E 00 , ∂ 00 ) ∼ = X ◦ D R n . This is E 01 and the differen tial ∂ 01 is equal to the restriction of ∂ 0 on to X ◦ D R n . 20 F or E ′ 0 ∗ ev erything is trivial, E ′ 01 ∼ = Q n +1 and ∂ ′ 01 = 0. Then pr 1 : E 01 → E ′ 01 induced by pr is quism, b ecause H ∗ ( E 01 , ∂ 01 ) ∼ = X ◦ H ∗ ( D R n , ∂ 0 ) ∼ = X ◦ Q n ∼ = Q n +1 , where the first isomorphism follo ws fr om the usual K ¨ u n neth formula (3), the second one follo ws from th e in duction hypothesis and the last on e wa s already observ ed in (19). This conclud es the pro of of the claim H ∗ ( D R n , ∂ 0 ) ∼ = Q n . Finally H ∗ ( D R , ∂ 0 ) ∼ = H ∗ (colim n D R n ) ∼ = colim n H ∗ ( D R n ) ∼ = colim n Q n ∼ = F ( X ⊕ Φ) D pro ve s S ublemma 3.7.  No w that the sublemma is pro v ed, we easily go through all the isomorphisms to c hec k (16) and (18) .  3.3 Augmen ted cotangen t c omplex Let ( A , ∂ A ) α − → ( E nd A , ∂ E nd A ) b e an A -algebra stru cture on A .
