Abstract |
|
We show that the group of homotopy automorphisms of the profinite completion of the genus zero surface operad is isomorphic to the (profinite) Grothendieck–Teichmüller group. Using a result of Drummond-Cole, we deduce that the Grothendieck–Teichmüller group acts nontrivially on , the operad of stable curves of genus zero. As a second application, we give an alternative proof that the framed little –disks operad is formal. |
