Motivations

  • Motivations: factorization homology forms an important class of topological field theories: the ones in which the global observables are determined by the local observables. It can be modeled using labeled configuration spaces; in fact, it originates from configuration space models for mapping spaces.

  • Descriptions of the factorization homology of free E_n algebra and of \(E_n{\hbox{-}}\)enveloping algebras of Lie algebras are known.

  • suspension spectra provide another class of algebras for which factorization homology is known.

    • This follows from nonabelian Poincare duality: describes factorization homology of \(n\)-fold loop spaces in terms of mapping spaces or section spaces.
  • For \(M = S^1\) , factorization homology specializes to Topological Hochschild homology.

  • There is an equivalence of categories \begin{align*} {}_{E_1{\hbox{-}}A}{\mathsf{Mod}} \cong ({A}, {A}){\hbox{-}}\mathsf{biMod}.\end{align*}
