Let , the free algebra functor
On the free algebra , two notions coincide.
- A. Based loop space at the origin (co-algebraic Koszul dual). (Aside: observe this is a way to construct the additive structure on the group-stacks Super- (smooth version))
- B. Functions on free loop space (THH)
Observe the structure A uses the augmentation, while B does not. So these notions certainly diverge when is replaced by a general ring .
