Algebras over not too little discs
Abstract
By the introduction of locally constant prefactorization algebras at a fixed scale, we show a mathematical incarnation of the fact that observables at a given scale of a topological field theory propagate to every scale over euclidean spaces. The key is that these prefactorization algebras over are equivalent to algebras over the little -disc operad. For topological field theories with defects, we get analogous results by replacing with the spaces modelling corners . As a toy example in , we quantize, once more, constant Poisson structures.

Comments
Comments are welcome! v3/v4: Accepted version in Communications in Mathematical Physics. v2: New proof strategy for the main theorem that avoids the use of an incorrect description of the hammock localization in the literature ([21] in v1). A version with closed discs and cubes has been added
