“From
Topology to Algebra”
In the
sixties, J. Stasheff introduced the notion of an A-infinity algebra, which is an algebra whose product is
associative up to homotopy. Today, A-infinity structures appear in many
areas of mathematics and have many important applications. In this talk we show how contractions can be
used to compute A-infinity structures.
We apply this technique to compute the A-infinity coalgebra
structure on the mod p homology of
