Kontsevich's Swiss cheese conjecture

Justin Thomas

Geometry & Topology 20 (2016) 1–48
Abstract

We prove a conjecture of Kontsevich, which states that if A is an Ed 1 algebra then the Hochschild cochain object of A is the universal Ed algebra acting on A. The notion of an Ed algebra acting on an Ed1 algebra was defined by Kontsevich using the Swiss cheese operad of Voronov. The degree 0 and 1 pieces of the Swiss cheese operad can be used to build a cofibrant model for A as an Ed1A–module. The theorem amounts to the fact that the Swiss cheese operad is generated up to homotopy by its degree 0 and 1 pieces.
