The Berkovits Complex and Semi-free Extensions of Koszul Algebras
Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques, Serie 6, Volume 25 (2016) no. 2-3, pp. 363-384.

In his extension [3] of W. Siegel’s ideas on string quantization, N. Berkovits made several observations which deserve further study and development. Indeed, interesting accounts of this work have already appeared in the mathematical literature [8, 15] and in a different guise due to L. Avramov. In this paper we bridge between these three approaches, by providing a complex that is useful in the calculation of some homologies.

En étendant des idées de W.Siegel sur la quantisation des cordes, N. Berkovits [3] a fait quelques remarques qui méritent d’être étudiées et développées. En fait, des rapports intéressants sur ce travail sont déjà parus dans la littérature mathématique [8, 15], liés aussi à une contruction due à L. Avramov. Dans cet article, on tend des ponts entre ces trois approches, en utilisant la construction d’un complexe approprié au calcul de certains groupes d’homologie.
