# Operadic twisting – with an application to Deligne's conjecture

Dolgushev, Vasily; Willwacher, Thomas (2015). Operadic twisting – with an application to Deligne's conjecture. Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 219(5):1349-1428.

## Abstract

We study categorial properties of the operadic twisting functor Tw. In particular, we show that Tw is a comonad. Coalgebras of this comonad are operads for which a natural notion of twisting by Maurer-Cartan elements exists. We give a large class of examples, including the classical cases of the Lie, associative and Gerstenhaber operads, and their infinity-counterparts Lie$_\infty$, As$_\infty$, Ger$_\infty$. We also show that Tw is well behaved with respect to the homotopy theory of operads. As an application we show that every solution of Deligne's conjecture is homotopic to a solution that is compatible with twisting.

## TrendTerms

TrendTerms displays relevant terms of the abstract of this publication and related documents on a map. The terms and their relations were extracted from ZORA using word statistics. Their timelines are taken from ZORA as well. The bubble size of a term is proportional to the number of documents where the term occurs. Red, orange, yellow and green colors are used for terms that occur in the current document; red indicates high interlinkedness of a term with other terms, orange, yellow and green decreasing interlinkedness. Blue is used for terms that have a relation with the terms in this document, but occur in other documents.
You can navigate and zoom the map. Mouse-hovering a term displays its timeline, clicking it yields the associated documents.
