We are able to prove that E_2-algebras whose cohomology ring is a polynomial algebra on even degree classes are intrinsically formal. As a consequence we prove E_2-formality of the classifying space of some compact Lie group or of Davis-Januszkiewicz spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-23T07:21:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "obstruction theory", "e2 formality", "compact lie group", "davis-januszkiewicz spaces", "differential graded algebras" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
