The Whitehead-product conjecture for the derivation bracket
The Whitehead-product conjecture for the derivation bracket
Let be an -algebra. Write for the monoid of -algebra self-maps, for its classifying space, and for the derived spectrum of -derivations. The Gerstenhaber bracket on induces, via the preceding construction, a Poisson bracket on for . The Whitehead-product conjecture. The bracket described above agrees with the Whitehead product on . This asks whether the bracket arising from the derivation or Gerstenhaber structure is the topological Whitehead product on the classifying space; the supplied text states the question but gives no resolution.
