Higher order self-distributivity
by
Emanuele Zappala
University of South Florida
Coauthors: Mohamed Elhamdadi, Masahico Saito

In this talk I will introduce the notion of higher order self-distributive operation, along with its geometrical interpretation and a (co)homology theory that generalizes the usual one for shelves.

I will present chain maps between binary rack complexes and certain suitably defined total complexes of ternary racks. I will also describe an "operadic" approach to the subject.
