We introduce a new operad, which we call the Swiss-cheese operad. It mixes naturally the little disks and the little intervals operads. The Swiss-cheese operad is related to the configuration spaces of points on the upper half-plane and…
We describe combinatorial Hopf (co-)operadic models for the Swiss Cheese operads built from Feynman diagrams. This extends previous work of Kontsevich and Lambrechts-Voli\'c for the little disks operads.
For an associative algebra A we consider the pair "the Hochschild cochain complex C*(A,A) and the algebra A". There is a natural 2-colored operad which acts on this pair. We show that this operad is quasi-isomorphic to the singular chain…
From a coloured operad $\mathcal{P}$ and a $\mathcal{P}$-algebra $A$, we construct a new operad $\mathrm{SC}(\mathcal{P})$ and a Hochschild object $\mathrm{Hoch}(A)$ together with an $\mathrm{SC}(\mathcal{P})$-action on the pair…
In the present work, we extract pairs of topological spaces from maps between coloured operads. We prove that those pairs are weakly equivalent to explicit algebras over the one dimensional Swiss-Cheese operad SC_{1}. Thereafter, we show…
We prove that the homology of the Swiss-cheese operad is a Koszul operad. As a consequence, we obtain that the spectral sequence associated to the stratification of the compactification of points on the upper half plane collapses at the…
We introduce two coloured operads in sets -- the lattice path operad and a cyclic extension of it -- closely related to iterated loop spaces and to universal operations on cochains. As main application we present a formal construction of an…
We build a model in groupoids for the Swiss-Cheese operad, based on parenthesized permutations and braids, and we relate algebras over this model to the classical description of algebras over the homology of the Swiss-Cheese operad. We…
In this paper we show that the relation between Kajiura-Stasheff's OCHA and A. Voronov's swiss-cheese operad is analogous to the relation between SH Lie algebras and the little discs operad. More precisely, we show that the OCHA operad is…
We prove that if a pair of semi-cosimplicial spaces (X,Y) arise from a coloured operad then the semi-totalization sTot(Y) has the homotopy type of a relative double loop space and the pair (sTot(X),sTot(Y)) is weakly equivalent to an…
In this note, we prove that the Swiss-cheese operad is not formal. We also give a criteria in terms of Massey operadic product for the non-formality of a topological operad.
We introduce a notion of an operad of complexity $m$, for $m \geq 1$. Operads of complexity $1$ are monoids in the category of $\mathbb{N}$-indexed collections, with monoidal product given by the Day convolution, and operads of complexity…
We study two colored operads of configurations of little $n$-disks in a unit $n$-disk, with the centers of the small disks of one color restricted to an $m$-plane, $m<n$. We compute the rational homotopy type of these \emph{extended Swiss…
Let $A$ be a $1$-algebra. The Kontsevich Swiss Cheese conjecture [K2] states that the homotopy category $\mathrm{Ho}(\mathrm{Act}(A))$ of actions of $2$-algebras on $A$ has a final object and that this object is weakly equivalent to the…
We study bicolored configurations of points in the Euclidean $n$-space that are constrained to remain either inside or outside a fixed Euclidean $m$-subspace, with $n - m \ge 2$. We define a higher-codimensional variant of the Swiss-Cheese…
A theorem of Kontsevich relates the homology of certain infinite dimensional Lie algebras to graph homology. We formulate this theorem using the language of reversible operads and mated species. All ideas are explained using a pictorial…
A detailed combinatorial analysis of planar lattice convex polygonal lines is presented. This makes it possible to answer an open question of Vershik regarding the existence of a limit shape when the number of vertices is constrained. The…
Lattice fermion actions are constructed with path integrals which are equivalent to the free one-flavour staggered fermion determinant. The Dirac operators used are local and have an identical spectrum of states to the staggered theory.…
In this paper we study the homology of 2 versions of the swiss-cheese operad. We prove that the zeroth homology of these two versions are Koszul operads and relate this to strong homotopy Lebiniz pairs and OCHA, defined by Kajiura and…
We show that the color restriction map $\mathrm{Op}^h({\mathcal{SC}}_m,{\mathcal{SC}}_n)\to \mathrm{Op}^h({\mathcal E}_{m-1},{\mathcal E}_{n-1})$ from the derived mapping space of Swiss cheese operads to that of little discs operads, is a…
