347 Fix a target space $T$. There is an $A_\infty$ $n$-category $\pi_{\leq n}^\infty(T)$ defined by |
|
348 $$\pi_{\leq n}^\infty(T)(B) = C_*(\Maps(B\to T)).$$ |
|
349 \end{block} |
|
350 \begin{thm} |
|
351 The blob complex recovers mapping spaces: |
|
352 $$\bc_*(M; \pi_{\leq n}^\infty(T)) \iso C_*(\Maps(M \to T))$$ |
|
353 \end{thm} |
|
354 This generalizes a result of Lurie: if $T$ is $n-1$ connected, $\pi_{\leq n}^\infty(T)$ is an $E_n$-algebra and the blob complex is the same as his topological chiral homology. |
