An $A_{\infty}$ structure on simplicial complexes
V. V. Dolotin, A. Yu. Morozov, Sh. R. Shakirov Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (Russian Federation State Scientific Center)
Abstract:
We consider a discrete (finite-difference) analogue of differential
forms defined on simplicial complexes, in particular, on triangulations of
smooth manifolds. Various operations are explicitly defined on these forms
including the exterior differential $d$ and the exterior product $\wedge$.
The exterior product is nonassociative but satisfies a more general relation,
the so-called $A_{\infty}$ structure. This structure includes an infinite set of
operations constrained by the nilpotency relation $(d+\wedge+m+\dotsb)^n=0$ of
the second degree, $n=2$.
Keywords:
simplicial complex, topology, discrete exterior form, infinity structure.
