Cohomology of operad algebras and Deligne's conjecture

Benjamin C Ward, Purdue University

Abstract

We consider various classes of generalized operads and associated odd Lie algebras and study the algebraic structure present after choice of solution to the Maurer-Cartan equation. In particular we construct and study operads which act universally on such pairs. As a consequence we study universal operations on operadic cohomology theories and give generalizations of Deligne's conjecture in both the cyclic and non-cyclic cases.
