Abstract

An affine action of an associative algebra AA on a vector space VV is an algebra morphism AVEnd(V)A \to V \rtimes {\rm End}(V), where VV is a vector space and VEnd(V)V \rtimes {\rm End}(V) is the algebra of affine transformations of VV. The one dimensional version of the Swiss-Cheese operad, denoted sc1{\mathrm{\bf{sc}}}_1, is the operad that governs affine actions of associative algebras. This operad is Koszul and admits a minimal model denoted by (sc1)({\mathrm{\bf{sc}}}_1)_\infty. Algebras over this minimal model are called Homotopy Affine Actions, they consist of an AA_\infty-morphism AVEnd(V)A \to V \rtimes {\rm End}(V), where AA is an AA_\infty-algebra. In this paper we prove a relative version of Deligne's conjecture. In other words, we show that the deformation complex of a homotopy affine action has the structure of an algebra over an SC2{\rm SC}_2 operad. That structure is naturally compatible with the E2{\rm E}_2 structure on the deformation complex of the AA_\infty-algebra.
