Formality of a higher-codimensional Swiss-Cheese operad

Algebraic Topology 2022-05-04 v3

Abstract

We study bicolored configurations of points in the Euclidean nn-space that are constrained to remain either inside or outside a fixed Euclidean mm-subspace, with nm2n - m \ge 2. We define a higher-codimensional variant of the Swiss-Cheese operad, called the complementarily constrained disks operad CDmn\mathsf{CD}_{mn}, associated to such configurations. The operad CDmn\mathsf{CD}_{mn} is weakly equivalent to the operad of locally constant factorization algebras on the stratified space {RmRn}\{\mathbb{R}^{m} \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}\}. We prove that this operad is formal over R\mathbb{R}.

47 pages, comments welcome. v3: The operad has been renamed. The abstract, introduction and background sections have been rewritten with a more expert audience in mind and pared down. The terrestrially bound graph complexes have been introduced in Section 5.1
