Abstract
We define an operad in Top, called . The spaces in come with CW decompositions, such that the operad compositions are cellular. In fact, each space in is the realization of a simplicial set. We expect, but do not prove here, that is isomorphic to the 2-dimensional Fulton-MacPherson operad . Our construction is connected to the author's work on the symplectic -category, and suggests a strategy toward equipping the symplectic cochain complex with the structure of a homotopy Batalin-Vilkoviskiy algebra.
