The Zigzag Hochschild Complex

Abstract

In this paper, a new higher Hochschild Complex is defined with an Iterated Integral map to locally model differential forms on the space of bigons on $M$. In particular, given the local data for a gerbe with structure 2-group given by a crossed module of matrix-groups, there is an element in our curved zigzag Hochschild complex associated to the local 2-holonomy given by such a gerbe. This paper introduces an initial construction central to the author's PhD Thesis.
