Homotopical rigidity of the pre-Lie operad

K-Theory and Homology 2021-04-02 v2 Category Theory

Abstract

We show that the celebrated operad of pre-Lie algebras is very rigid: it has no "non-obvious" degrees of freedom from either of the three points of view: deformations of maps to and from the "three graces of operad theory", homotopy automorphisms, and operadic twisting. Examining the latter, it is possible to answer two questions of Markl from 2005, including a Lie-theoretic version of the Deligne conjecture.
