Nonabelian Poincare duality after stabilizing

Abstract

We generalize the nonabelian Poincare duality theorems of Salvatore in [Sal01] and Lurie in [Lur09] to the case of not necessarily grouplike E_n-algebras (in the category of spaces). We define a stabilization procedure based on McDuff's "brining points in from infinity" maps from [McD75]. For open connected parallelizable n-manifolds, we prove that, after stabilizing, the topological chiral homology of M with coefficients in an E_n-algebra A, is homology equivalent to Map^c(M,B^n A), the space of compactly supported maps to the n-fold classifying space of A. The two models of topological chiral homology used in this paper are Andrade's model from [And10] and Salvatore's from [Sal01].
