Homotopy Lie algebras, lower central series and the Koszul property
Stefan Papadima, Alexander I Suciu
Abstract.
Let X and Y be finite-type CW--complexes (X connected, Y simply
connected), such that the rational cohomology ring of Y is a
k-rescaling of the rational cohomology ring of X. Assume H^*(X,Q) is a
Koszul algebra. Then, the homotopy Lie algebra pi_*(Omega Y) tensor Q
equals, up to k-rescaling, the graded rational Lie algebra associated
to the lower central series of pi_1(X). If Y is a formal space, this
equality is actually equivalent to the Koszulness of H^*(X,Q). If X is
formal (and only then), the equality lifts to a filtered isomorphism
between the Malcev completion of pi_1(X) and the completion of [Omega
S^{2k+1} ,Omega Y]. Among spaces that admit naturally defined
homological rescalings are complements of complex hyperplane
arrangements, and complements of classical links. The Rescaling
Formula holds for supersolvable arrangements, as well as for links
with connected linking graph.
