We discuss structural similarities between Knizhnik--Zamolodchikov equations (in fact, their simplest version needed to introduce the Drinfeld associator) and Dyson--Schwinger equations. We emphasize that the latter allow for a filtration…

We present a formalism within which the relationship (discovered by Drinfel'd) between associators (for quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf algebras) and (a variant of) the Grothendieck-Teichmuller group becomes simple and natural, leading to a…

It is known that one can associate a Kontsevich-type formality morphism to every Drinfeld associator. We show that this morphism may be extended to a Kontsevich-Shoikhet formality morphism of cochains and chains, by describing the action of…

We give explicit formulas for the first few coefficients of the Alekseev-Torossian associator and a second Drinfeld associator. This is done by analyzing the free and transitive action of the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group and its Lie…

We solve the regularized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation and find an explicit expression for the Drinfeld associator. We restrict to the case of the fundamental representation of $gl(N)$. Several tests of the results are presented. It can…

We give a generalization of the Reshetikhin-Turaev functor for tangles to get a combinatorial formula for the universal Vassiliev-Kontsevich invariant of framed oriented links which is coincident with the Kontsevich integral. The universal…

Drinfeld associator is a key tool in computing the Kontsevich integral of knots. A Drinfeld associator is a series in two non-commuting variables, satisfying highly complicated algebraic equations - hexagon and pentagon. The logarithm of a…

We show that Kontsevich's formality of the little disk operad, obtained using graphs, is homotopic to Tamarkin's formality, for a special choice of a Drinfeld associator. The associator is given by parallel transport of the…

We show that the zeroth cohomology of M. Kontsevich's graph complex is isomorphic to the Grothendieck-Teichmueller Lie algebra grt_1. The map is explicitly described. This result has applications to deformation quantization and Duflo…

By considering spaces of directed Jacobi diagrams, we construct a diagrammatic version of the Etingof-Kazhdan quantization of complex semisimple Lie algebras. This diagrammatic quantization is used to provide a construction of a directed…

We construct a genus one analogue of the theory of associators and the Grothendieck-Teichmueller group. The analogue of the Galois action on the profinite braid groups is an action of the arithmetic fundamental group of a moduli space of…

Let $G$ be a simple complex Lie group with Lie algebra $\mf g$ and let $\af$ be the affine Lie algebra. We use intertwining operators and Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations to construct a family of $\N$-graded vertex operator algebras…

For every semi-simple Lie algebra one can construct the Drinfeld-Jimbo algebra U. This algebra is a deformation Hopf algebra defined by generators and relations. To study the representation theory of U, Drinfeld used the KZ-equations to…

Kontsevich has proven that the Lie homology of the Lie algebra of symplectic vector fields can be computed in terms of the homology of a graph complex. We prove that the Leibniz homology of this Lie algebra can be computed in terms of the…

We establish an isomorphism between the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller Lie algebra $\mathfrak{grt}_1$ in depth two modulo higher depth and the cohomology of the two-loop part of the graph complex of internally connected graphs…

We give a presentation in terms of generators and relations of the cohomology in degree zero of the Campos-Willwacher graph complexes associated to compact orientable surfaces of genus $g$. The results carry a natural Lie algebra structure,…

This paper explains a method to calculate the coefficients of the Alekseev-Torossian associator as linear combinations of iterated integrals of Kontsevich weight forms of Lie graphs.

Recall that Tamarkin's construction arXiv:math/9803025, arXiv:math/0003052 gives us a map from the set of Drinfeld associators to the set of homotopy classes of L-infinity quasi-isomorphisms for Hochschild cochains of a polynomial algebra.…

We develop a notion of ellipsitomic associators by means of operad theory. We take this opportunity to review the operadic point-of-view on Drinfeld associators and to provide such an operadic approach for elliptic associators too. We then…

We compute the first cohomology group of the symmetric algebra of the universal \'etale $p$-adic local system on the tower of coverings of Drinfeld's $p$-adic half-plane. The result takes a factorized form, using the $p$-adic Langlands…
