Equivalence of formalities of the little discs operad

Quantum Algebra 2019-12-19 v1

Abstract

We show that Kontsevich's formality of the little disk operad, obtained using graphs, is homotopic to Tamarkin's formality, for a special choice of a Drinfeld associator. The associator is given by parallel transport of the Alekseev-Torossian connection.
