    I talked to Chris Rogers today and I wound up trying to remember an amazing result by Mandell. I’ve added it to

    That paper is published. I fixed the link and added the publication data.

    What is the reference that defines an E-infinity algebra structure on simplicial cochains C *(X,Z)C^*(X,Z) of a simplicial set XX?

    The article claims its existence, but does not give a reference.

    To be clear: such a structure can of course be quickly constructed using abstract machinery, but I am looking for a concrete description, with explicitly written down operations etc.

    McClure-Smith (here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0106024.pdf) write down something very explicit for singular cochains on a space, and at first glance it doesn't seem like they use anything very special about it coming from a space (i.e. it ought to work for cochains on a simplicial set). Their other paper also seems relevant: https://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0211368.pdf.

    Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I was looking for. They do not seem to use anything specific to singular cochains; the operations involved generalize the cup product and Steenrod’s cup-i products, and are naturally defined for simplicial cochains.

    I added a description of their work to the main article.

    Should the contents of commutative monoid in a symmetric monoidal (infinity,1)-category be merged into this page?

    (that other page doesn’t even have a ’discuss’ page)

    added the requirement that CC be stable to justify saying “E E_\infty-algebras” for these E E_\infty-monoids.
