Description
Let X be a simplicial set. H.-J. Baues constructed an explicit coproduct on the cobar construction of X.
This coproduct can be expressed as co-operations on the chain complex of X. We establish a criterion in terms of these co-operations for the obtention of a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structure up to homotopy (in the sense of Gerstenhaber-Voronov) on the double cobar construction.
As an application we obtain a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structure up to homotopy on the double construction of an iterated simplicial suspension.
We also discuss the particular case when the ground ring is a characteristic zero field.
