Recollection: The Hill-Lawson Formula

Working in , the theorem of Hill-Lawson on -pushouts (which makes sense in more general monoidal categories) says the following.

Given a sequence of two maps We can produce --algebras by -tensor:

  • The theorem of Hill Lawson say the diagram

is a pushout of -algebras under . Here, is the free algebra on .

Example Take our input data to be

The theorem then says That is, suspension in the category of augmented algebras, a priori a pushout, can be calculated as a -tensor.

-formal loop stacks

Consider the -presheaf

where denotes -Koszul duality. We calcuate, using the above formula

This therefore gives an explicit algebraic description of the group stack struture via a coalgebra structure.
