The little $n$-disks operad is $SO(n)$ and $O(n)$-equivariantly formal over the rationals. Equivalently, the oriented and unoriented framed little disks operads are rationally formal as $\infty$-operads.

We extend Tamarkin's formality of the little disk operad to the framed little disk operad.

We show that the little discs operad $D_2$ is not formal over $\mathbb{F}_2$ as a planar (or non-symmetric) operad. We compute explicitly the homological obstruction using as chain model the cells of the spineless cacti operad

We prove that the chain operad of small squares is formal. This fact clarifies situation with the proof of M. Kontsevich formality theorem in the paper of the author math.QA/9803025, revised Sept 24. The formality of the operad follows…

We construct a canonical chain of formality quasiisomorphisms for the operad of chains on framed little disks and the operad of chains on little disks. The construction is done in terms of logarithmic algebraic geometry and is remarkable…

The operad of moulds is realized in terms of an operational calculus of formal integrals (continuous formal power series). This leads to many simplifications and to the discovery of various suboperads. In particular, we prove a conjecture…

We develop the details of Kontsevich's proof of the formality of little N-disks operad over the field of real numbers. Formality holds in the category of operads of chain complexes and also in some sense in the category of commutative…

We prove that the operad of framed little 2-discs is formal. Tamarkin and Kontsevich each proved that the unframed 2-discs operad is formal. The unframed 2-discs is an operad in the category of S^1-spaces, and the framed 2-discs operad can…

We study the action of the orthogonal group on the little $n$-disks operads. As an application we provide small models (over the reals) for the framed little $n$-disks operads. It follows in particular that the framed little $n$-disks…

It is shown that the operad maps $E_n\to E_{n+k}$ are formal over the reals for $k\geq 2$ and non-formal for $k=1$. Furthermore we compute the cohomology of the deformation complex of the operad maps $E_{n}\to E_{n+1}$, proving an algebraic…

In his famous paper entitled "Operads and motives in deformation quantization", Maxim Kontsevich constructed (in order to prove the formality of the little d-disks operad) a topological operad, which is called in the literature the…

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.

The operad of framed little discs is shown to be equivalent to a cyclic operad. This answers a conjecture of Salvatore in the affirmative, posed at the workshop `Knots and Operads in Roma,' at Universita di Roma ``La Sapienza'' in July of…

Let $M^{(k)}_{d}(n)$ be the manifold of $n$-tuples $(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in(\mathbb{R}^d)^n$ having non-$k$-equal coordinates. We show that, for $d\geq2$, $M^{(3)}_{d}(n)$ is rationally formal if and only if $n\leq 6$. This stands in sharp…

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…

The Swiss-Cheese operads, which encode actions of algebras over the little $n$-cubes operad on algebras over the little $(n-1)$-cubes operad, comes in several variants. We prove that the variant in which open operations must have at least…

This paper is an introduction to a series of papers in which we give combinatorial models for certain important operads (including A-infinity and E-infinity operads, the little n-cubes operads, and the framed little disks operad) and…

Operads are algebraic devices offering a formalization of the concept of operations with several inputs and one output. Such operations can be naturally composed to form bigger and more complex ones. Coming historically from algebraic…

We construct a model for the (non-unital) S^1-framed little 2d-dimensional disks operad for any positive integer d using logarithmic geometry. We also show that the unframed little 2d-dimensional disks operad has a model which can be…

I exhibit a pair of non-symmetric operads that, although not themselves isomorphic, induce isomorphic monads. The existence of such a pair implies that if `algebraic theory' is understood as meaning `monad', operads cannot be regarded as…
