Generalisation of the notion of operad

Let $\mathscr P$ be an operad in the category of vector spaces. An algebra (of the type encoded by $\mathscr P$) on the vector space $V$ is a morphism of operads $\mu:\mathscr P\to End_V$ with $End_V$ …

Operad structure on Kontsevich's admissible graphs

In his celebrated 97' preprint q-alg/9709040, M. Kontsevich constructs a $L_\infty$-quasi-isomorphism $\mathcal U:\mathcal D_{\rm poly}\to\mathcal T_{\rm poly}$ between the differential graded algebra …

3-Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the cohomology of deformation complexes?

In a seminal paper "On the Deformation of Rings and Algebras", M. Gerstenhaber showed that the deformation complex of any associative algebra (known as the Hochschild complex) is naturally endowed wit …

Equivalence of deformations of non-associative algebras

Let $(\mathcal A,\mu)$ be an associative algebra. According to usual deformation theory, deformations of $(\mathcal A,\mu)$ as an associative algebra are controlled by a differential graded algebra (D …

Weak associativity

Let $(V,*)$ be an algebra and denote $A_*\in \text{Hom}(V^{\otimes 3},V)$ the associator of the binary product $*\in \text{Hom}(V^{\otimes 2},V)$ defined as $A_*(a,b,c):=(a*b)*c-a*(b*c)$. The assoc …

Brace algebra structure on the Hochschild complex of an associative algebra

As shown by Gerstenhaber and Voronov [Higher operations on the Hochschild complex], the Hochschild complex of an associative algebra is endowed with a natural structure of brace algebra. The first bra …

Intrinsic formality versus rigidity of a differential graded Lie algebra

Let $\mathfrak g:=(V,d,[\cdot,\cdot])$ be a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) where $d$ is the zero differential. Intrinsic formality: The DGLA $\mathfrak g$ will be said intrinsically formal i …
