Abstract

We introduce the abstract notion of a necklical set in order to describe a functorial combinatorial model of the path fibration over the geometric realization of a path connected simplicial set. In particular, to any path connected simplicial set X we associate a necklical set \({\widehat{{\varvec{\Omega }}}}X\) such that its geometric realization \(|{\widehat{{\varvec{\Omega }}}}X|\), a space built out of gluing cubical cells, is homotopy equivalent to the based loop space on |X| and the differential graded module of chains \(C_*({\widehat{{\varvec{\Omega }}}}X)\) is a differential graded associative algebra generalizing Adams’ cobar construction.
