5.3. Factorization homology from Lie algebras

We now discuss factorization homology of nn-disk algebras coming from Lie algebras. Our results are closely analogous to those above about the factorization homology of nn-disk algebras coming from topological spaces. For simplicity, we assume our Lie algebras are defined over a fixed field kk of characteristic zero.

As we proceed, we make use of the fact that Lie algebras in π–¬π—ˆπ–½k{\sf Mod}_{k} admit totalizations, and therefore the ∞\infty-category of such is cotensored over pointed spaces in a natural and standard way: (X,𝔀)↦𝔀X(X,\mathfrak{g})\mapsto{\mathfrak{g}}^{X}. For MM an nn-manifold, we notate 𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(𝖬,𝔀):=𝔀𝖬+\Map_{\sf c}(M,\mathfrak{g}):={\mathfrak{g}}^{M^{+}}, where M+M^{+} is the 1-point compactification. One can describe this as 𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(M,𝔀)β‰ƒπ–’π–Όβˆ—β€‹(M,𝔀)\Mapc(M,\mathfrak{g})\simeq\mathsf{C}_{\sf c}^{\ast}(M,\mathfrak{g}), the compactly supported cochains of MM with coefficients in 𝔀\mathfrak{g}. See also [Gw] and [CG] for a discussion of the following.

Proposition 5.13. For 𝔀\mathfrak{g} a Lie algebra over kk, there is a natural equivalence of chain complexes over kk,

∫Mπ–’βˆ—π–«π—‚π–Ύβ€‹(𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(ℝn,𝔀))β‰ƒπ–’βˆ—π–«π—‚π–Ύβ€‹(𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(M,𝔀)),\int_{M}\mathsf{C}_{\ast}^{\Lie}\bigl(\Mapc(\mathbb{R}^{n},\mathfrak{g})\bigr)~\simeq~\mathsf{C}^{\Lie}_{\ast}\bigl(\Mapc(M,\mathfrak{g})\bigr)~,

between the factorization homology of the Lie algebra chains of Ξ©n​𝔀\Omega^{n}{\mathfrak{g}} and the Lie algebra chains of the Lie algebra 𝔀M+\mathfrak{g}^{M^{+}}.

Proof. Lie algebra chains defines a functor between ∞\infty-categories π–’βˆ—π–«π—‚π–Ύ:𝖠𝗅𝗀𝖫𝗂𝖾⁑(π–¬π—ˆπ–½k)β†’π–¬π—ˆπ–½k\mathsf{C}^{\Lie}_{\ast}:\Alg_{\Lie}({\sf Mod}_{k})\rightarrow{\sf Mod}_{k}. This functor carries finite products of Lie algebras to finite tensor products of kk-modules, which is to say that it is symmetric monoidal. Furthermore, this functor preserves geometric realizations, so Lemma 3.25 applies to give a natural identification: ∫Mπ–’βˆ—π–«π—‚π–Ύβ€‹(𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(ℝn,𝔀))β‰ƒπ–’βˆ—π–«π—‚π–Ύβ€‹(∫M𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(ℝn,𝔀))\int_{M}\mathsf{C}_{\ast}^{\Lie}\bigl(\Mapc(\mathbb{R}^{n},\mathfrak{g})\bigr)\simeq\mathsf{C}_{\ast}^{\Lie}\bigl(\int_{M}\Mapc(\mathbb{R}^{n},\mathfrak{g})\bigr). The equivalence ∫M𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(ℝn,𝔀)≃𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(M,𝔀)\int_{M}\Mapc(\mathbb{R}^{n},\mathfrak{g})\simeq\Mapc(M,\mathfrak{g}) now follows from the argument of nonabelian PoincarΓ© duality (CorollaryΒ 4.6), only here we apply it in the usual abelian setting.66 6 See [AF2] for a complete account, where nonabelian PoincarΓ© duality is an instance of a version of PoincarΓ©/Koszul duality for Cartesian-presentable ∞\infty-categories.

Remark 5.14. The nn-disk algebra π–’βˆ—π–«π—‚π–Ύβ€‹(𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(ℝn,𝔀))\mathsf{C}_{\ast}^{\Lie}\bigl(\Mapc(\mathbb{R}^{n},\mathfrak{g})\bigr) has an interesting separate interpretation that we state here, and prove as a separate work. There is a forgetful functor from β„°n\mathcal{E}_{n}-algebras in chain complexes over kk to Lie algebras over kk (seeΒ [Coh] for an account at the level of homology). The adjoint functor theorem (CorollaryΒ 5.5.2.9 ofΒ [Lu1]) applies to this functor, and so there is an adjunction

𝖴n:𝖠𝗅𝗀𝖫𝗂𝖾⁑(π–¬π—ˆπ–½k)β‡„π– π—…π—€π’Ÿβ€‹π—‚π—Œπ—„π—‡π–Ώπ—‹β‘(π–¬π—ˆπ–½k):𝖿𝗀𝗍.\mathsf{U}_{n}\colon\Alg_{\Lie}({\sf Mod}_{k})~\rightleftarrows~\Alg_{\disk_{n}^{\sf fr}}({\sf Mod}_{k})\colon{\sf fgt}~.

In the case n=1n=1, this left adjoint 𝖴1\mathsf{U}_{1} agrees with the familiar universal enveloping algebra functor. In general, there is an identification of π’Ÿβ€‹π—‚π—Œπ—„π—‡π–Ώπ—‹\disk_{n}^{\sf fr}-algebras,

𝖴nβ€‹π”€β‰ƒπ–’βˆ—π–«π—‚π–Ύβ€‹(𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(ℝn,𝔀)),\mathsf{U}_{n}\mathfrak{g}~\simeq~\mathsf{C}_{\ast}^{\Lie}\bigl(\Mapc(\mathbb{R}^{n},\mathfrak{g})\bigr)~,

through which PropositionΒ 5.13 can be reformulated as an equivalence of chain complexes over kk:

∫M𝖴nβ€‹π”€β‰ƒπ–’βˆ—π–«π—‚π–Ύβ€‹(𝖬𝖺𝗉𝖼⁑(M,𝔀)).\int_{M}\mathsf{U}_{n}\mathfrak{g}~\simeq~\mathsf{C}^{\Lie}_{\ast}\bigl(\Mapc(M,\mathfrak{g})\bigr)~.
