Abstract

In statistics cumulants are dened to be functions that measure the linear independence of random variables. Cumulants can be described as functions that measure deviation of a map between algebras from being an algebra morphism. In Algebraic topology maps that are homotopic to being algebra morphisms are studied using the theory of A-infinity and C-infinity algebras. In this thesis we will explore the link between these two points of views on maps between algebras that are not algebra maps. | 56 pages
