Using the properties of algebras over the Barratt-Eccles operad, we show that this results holds even when the manifold is not simply connected. Furthermore, we prove a similar result for pseudomanifolds. Namely, we explain why $HH^\\ast_\\bullet(\\widetilde N^\\ast_\\bullet(X;\\mathbb{F}))$, the Hochschild cohomology of the blown-up intersection cochain complex of a compact, oriented pseudomanifold $X$, is endowed with a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-03-28T15:57:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16E40", "55N33" ], "keywords": [ "batalin-vilkovisky algebra structure", "hochschild cohomology", "blown-up intersection cochain complex", "singular cochain complex", "pseudomanifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 38, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
