Mapping spaces of Swiss cheese operads

Algebraic Topology 2026-02-17 v3

Abstract

We show that the color restriction map Oph(SCm,SCn)Oph(Em1,En1)\mathrm{Op}^h({\mathcal{SC}}_m,{\mathcal{SC}}_n)\to \mathrm{Op}^h({\mathcal E}_{m-1},{\mathcal E}_{n-1}) from the derived mapping space of Swiss cheese operads to that of little discs operads, is a weak homotopy equivalence. We explain how this can help in the study of disc concordance embedding spaces.
