We show that the group of homotopy automorphisms of the profinite completion of the genus zero surface operad is isomorphic to the (profinite) Grothendieck-Teichm\"{u}ller group. Using a result of Drummond-Cole, we deduce that the…

We compute the automorphisms of the Bousfield-Kan completion at a prime p of the little two-disks operads and show that they are given by the pro-p Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group. We also show that the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group…

We characterise the profinite Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group $\widehat{\mathsf{GT}}$ as the group of automorphisms of the profinite completion of a cyclic operad of parenthesised ribbon braids. This operad generates a symmetric monoidal…

We show that finite (i.e. locally finite and decomposition-finite) objects of a connected Grothendieck topos span a Boolean pretopos with an essentially unique Galois point. The automorphism group of this point carries a profinite topology…

We show that the particular profinite completion used by Boavida-Horel-Robertson in their study of the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group fits in the framework of profinite completion as a left Quillen functor. More precisely, we construct a…

We prove that several properties of absolute Galois groups are preserved under a profinite completion.

We establish the faithfulness of a geometric action of the absolute Galois group of the rationals that can be defined on the discriminantal variety associated to a finite complex reflection group, and review some possible connections with…

Our aim of this and subsequent papers is to enlighten (a part of, presumably) arithmetic structures of knots. This paper introduces a notion of profinite knots which extends topological knots and shows its various basic properties.…

For $S=S_{g,n}$ a closed orientable differentiable surface of genus $g$ from which $n$ points have been removed, such that $\chi(S)=2-2g-n<0$, let $\mathrm{P}\Gamma(S)$ be the pure mapping class group of $S$ and…

We show that a profinite completion functor for (simplicial or topological) operads with good homotopical properties can be constructed as a left Quillen functor from an appropriate model category of infinity-operads to a certain model…

Using a variant of the Boardman-Vogt tensor product, we construct an action of the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group on the completion of the little n-disks operad $E_n$. This action is used to establish a partial formality theorem for $E_n$…

In this paper we determine the automorphism groups of the profinite braid groups with four or more strings in terms of the profinite Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group.

We study the deformation complex of the standard morphism from the degree $d$ shifted Lie operad to its polydifferential version, and prove that it is quasi-isomorphic to the Kontsevich graph complex $\mathbf{GC}_d$. In particular, we show…

For a profinite group, we construct a model structure on profinite spaces and profinite spectra with a continuous action. This yields descent spectral sequences for the homotopy groups of homotopy fixed point space and for stable homotopy…

We investigate the profinite completions of a certain family of groups acting on trees. It turns out that for some of the groups considered, the completions coincide with the closures of the groups in the full group of tree automorphisms.…

This paper is a survey on the homotopy theory of $E_n$-operads written for the new handbook of homotopy theory.

For every number field and every Cartan Killing type, there is an associated split simple algebraic group. We examine whether the corresponding arithmetic subgroups are profinitely solitary so that the commensurability class of the…

We give a new proof of formality of the operad of little disks. The proof makes use of an operadic version of a simple formality criterion for commutative differential graded algebras due to Sullivan. We see that formality is a direct…

In this work, we introduce a variant of the Grothendieck-Teichm{\"u}ller group, defined in terms of complements of hyperplane arrangements and pro-$\ell$ two-step nilpotent fundamental groups, and prove that it is isomorphic to the absolute…

For $2g-2+n>0$, the Teichm\"uller modular group $\Gamma_{g,n}$ of a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$ with $n$ points removed $S_{g,n}$ is the group of homotopy classes of diffeomorphisms of $S_{g,n}$ which preserve the orientation of…
