Title: Stasheff associahedra, A_{infinity} spaces and loop spaces

Abstract:

A loop space is a good example of an A_{infinity} space as its multiplication is not strictly associative but only associative up to coherent homotopy. In this seminar I will talk about the Stasheff associahedra, A_{infinity} spaces and the recognition principle for loop spaces.
