                           “Some Naturally Occurring Examples of A-infinity Bialgebras”

 

              ABSTRACT: (Joint work with A. Bersiano) Let p be an odd prime. When n > 3, each

                           tensor factor of form E \otimes Γ in the homology of K(Z,n) with Zp coefficients is an

                           A-infinity bialgebra with non-trivial structure. We give explicit formulas for the structure

                           maps and the quadratic relations among them. Thus E \otimes Γ is a naturally occurring

                           example of an A-infinity bialgebra whose internal structure is well-understood.
