\section{The blob complex for $A_\infty$ $n$-categories} |

Given an $A_\infty$ $n$-category $\cC$ and an $n$-manifold $M$, we define the blob |
|
146 | 7 |
complex $\bc_*(M)$ to the be the homotopy colimit $\cC(M)$ of Section \ref{sec:ncats}. |

that this agrees (up to homotopy) with our original definition of the blob complex |
12 |
in the case of plain $n$-categories. |

When we need to distinguish between the new and old definitions, we will refer to the |

An important technical tool in the proofs of this section is provided by the idea of `small blobs'. |
342 | 19 |
Fix $\cU$, an open cover of $M$. |
20 |
Define the `small blob complex' $\bc^{\cU}_*(M)$ to be the subcomplex of $\bc_*(M)$ of all blob diagrams in which every blob is contained in some open set of $\cU$. |

\nn{KW: We need something a little stronger: Every blob diagram (even a 0-blob diagram) is splittable into pieces which are small w.r.t.\ $\cU$. |

\begin{thm} \label{product_thm} |
342 | 50 |
Given a topological $n$-category $C$ and a $n{-}k$-manifold $F$, recall from |
51 |
Example \ref{ex:blob-complexes-of-balls} that there is an $A_\infty$ $k$-category $C^{\times F}$ defined by |
|
291 | 52 |
\begin{equation*} |
53 |
C^{\times F}(B) = \cB_*(B \times F, C). |
|
54 |
\end{equation*} |
|
342 | 55 |
Now, given a $k$-manifold $Y$, there is a homotopy equivalence between the `old-fashioned' |
56 |
blob complex for $Y \times F$ with coefficients in $C$ and the `new-fangled' |
|
57 |
(i.e.\ homotopy colimit) blob complex for $Y$ with coefficients in $C^{\times F}$: |

$D(a)$ is acyclic. |

||
113 |
\begin{proof} |
|
114 |
We will prove acyclicity in the first couple of degrees, and \nn{in this draft, at least} |
|
115 |
leave the general case to the reader. |
|
116 | 116 |
|
115 | 117 |
Let $K$ and $K'$ be two decompositions of $Y$ compatible with $a$. |
116 | 118 |
We want to show that $(a, K)$ and $(a, K')$ are homologous via filtration degree 1 stuff. |
119 |
\nn{need to say this better; these two chains don't have the same boundary.} |
|
120 |
We might hope that $K$ and $K'$ have a common refinement, but this is not necessarily |
|
121 |
the case. |
|
122 |
(Consider the $x$-axis and the graph of $y = x^2\sin(1/x)$ in $\r^2$.) |
|
123 |
However, we {\it can} find another decomposition $L$ such that $L$ shares common |
|
124 |
refinements with both $K$ and $K'$. |
|
125 |
Let $KL$ and $K'L$ denote these two refinements. |
|
126 |
Then filtration degree 1 chains associated to the four anti-refinemnts |
|
127 |
$KL\to K$, $KL\to L$, $K'L\to L$ and $K'L\to K'$ |
|
128 |
give the desired chain connecting $(a, K)$ and $(a, K')$ |
|
119 | 129 |
(see Figure \ref{zzz4}). |

Consider a different choice of decomposition $L'$ in place of $L$ above. |
|
149 |
This leads to a cycle consisting of filtration degree 1 stuff. |
|
150 |
We want to show that this cycle bounds a chain of filtration degree 2 stuff. |
|
151 |
Choose a decomposition $M$ which has common refinements with each of |
|
152 |
$K$, $KL$, $L$, $K'L$, $K'$, $K'L'$, $L'$ and $KL'$. |

(We also also require that $KLM$ antirefines to $KM$, etc.) |

Then we have a filtration degree 2 chain, as shown in Figure \ref{zzz5}, which does the trick. |

The next theorem shows how to reconstruct a mapping space from local data. |
353 |
Let $T$ be a topological space, let $M$ be an $n$-manifold, |
|
354 |
and recall the $A_\infty$ $n$-category $\pi^\infty_{\leq n}(T)$ |
|
355 |
of Example \ref{ex:chains-of-maps-to-a-space}. |
|
356 |
Think of $\pi^\infty_{\leq n}(T)$ as encoding everything you would ever |
|
357 |
want to know about spaces of maps of $k$-balls into $T$ ($k\le n$). |
|
358 |
To simplify notation, let $\cT = \pi^\infty_{\leq n}(T)$. |

\begin{rem} |
342 | 366 |
Lurie has shown in \cite[Theorem 3.8.6]{0911.0018} that the topological chiral homology |
367 |
of an $n$-manifold $M$ with coefficients in a certain $E_n$ algebra constructed from $T$ recovers |
|
368 |
the same space of singular chains on maps from $M$ to $T$, with the additional hypothesis that $T$ is $n-1$-connected. |
|
369 |
This extra hypothesis is not surprising, in view of the idea described in Example \ref{ex:e-n-alg} |
|
370 |
that an $E_n$ algebra is roughly equivalent data to an $A_\infty$ $n$-category which |
|
371 |
is trivial at all but the topmost level. |
|
372 |
Ricardo Andrade also told us about a similar result. |

% old proof (just start): |
212 | 435 |
We begin by constructing chain map $g: \cB^\cT(M) \to C_*(\Maps(M\to T))$. |
325 | 436 |
We then use Lemma \ref{extension_lemma_c} to show that $g$ induces isomorphisms on homology. |
212 | 437 |
|
438 |
Recall that the homotopy colimit $\cB^\cT(M)$ is constructed out of a series of |
|
439 |
$j$-fold mapping cylinders, $j \ge 0$. |
|
440 |
So, as an abelian group (but not as a chain complex), |
|
441 |
\[ |
|
442 |
\cB^\cT(M) = \bigoplus_{j\ge 0} C^j, |
|
443 |
\] |
|
444 |
where $C^j$ denotes the new chains introduced by the $j$-fold mapping cylinders. |
|
445 |
||
446 |
Recall that $C^0$ is a direct sum of chain complexes with the summands indexed by |
|
447 |
decompositions of $M$ which have their $n{-}1$-skeletons labeled by $n{-}1$-morphisms |
|
448 |
of $\cT$. |
|
449 |
Since $\cT = \pi^\infty_{\leq n}(T)$, this means that the summands are indexed by pairs |
|
450 |
$(K, \vphi)$, where $K$ is a decomposition of $M$ and $\vphi$ is a continuous |
|
451 |
maps from the $n{-}1$-skeleton of $K$ to $T$. |
|
452 |
The summand indexed by $(K, \vphi)$ is |
|
453 |
\[ |
|
454 |
\bigotimes_b D_*(b, \vphi), |
|
455 |
\] |
|
456 |
where $b$ runs through the $n$-cells of $K$ and $D_*(b, \vphi)$ denotes |
|
457 |
chains of maps from $b$ to $T$ compatible with $\vphi$. |
|
458 |
We can take the product of these chains of maps to get a chains of maps from |
|
459 |
all of $M$ to $K$. |
|
460 |
This defines $g$ on $C^0$. |
|
461 |
||
462 |
We define $g(C^j) = 0$ for $j > 0$. |
|
463 |
It is not hard to see that this defines a chain map from |
|
464 |
$\cB^\cT(M)$ to $C_*(\Maps(M\to T))$. |
