On the additivity of the little cubes operads

Algebraic Topology 2024-10-08 v2

Abstract

We give a new proof of Dunn's additivity for the little nn-cubes operads CnC_n, which has the advantage of being considerably shorter than the ones in the literature. At the end we remark on how our proof can be adjusted to work for the tensor product of a finite number of factors.
