In our recent papers [Sh1,2], we introduced a {it twisted tensor product} of dg categories, and provided, in terms of it, {it a contractible 2-operad $mathcal{O}$}, acting on the category of small dg categories, in which the natural transformations are derived. We made use of some homotopy theory developed in [To] to prove the contractibility of the 2-operad $mathcal{O}$. The contractibility is an important issue, in vein of the theory of Batanin [Ba1,2], according to which an action of a contractible $n$-operad on $C$ makes $C$ a weak $n$-category. In this short note, we provide a new elementary proof of the contractibility of the 2-operad $mathcal{O}$. The proof is based on a direct computation, and is independent from the homotopy theory of dg categories (in particular, it is independent from [To] and from Theorem 2.4 of [Sh1]).
It is well-known that the pre-2-category $mathscr{C}at_mathrm{dg}^mathrm{coh}(k)$ of small dg categories over a field $k$, with 1-morphisms defined as dg functors, and with 2-morphisms defined as the complexes of coherent natural transformations, fai
This article investigates duals for bimodule categories over finite tensor categories. We show that finite bimodule categories form a tricategory and discuss the dualities in this tricategory using inner homs. We consider inner-product bimodule categ
We show that the celebrated operad of pre-Lie algebras is very rigid: it has no non-obvious degrees of freedom from either of the three points of view: deformations of maps to and from the three graces of operad theory, homotopy automorphisms, and op
Given two small dg categories $C,D$, defined over a field, we introduce their (non-symmetric) twisted tensor product $Coverset{sim}{otimes} D$. We show that $-overset{sim}{otimes} D$ is left adjoint to the functor $Coh(D,-)$, where $Coh(D,E)$ is the
Boris Shoikhet noticed that the proof of lemma 1 in section 2.3 of math.QA/0504420 contains an error. In this note I give a correct proof of this lemma which was suggested to me by Dmitry Tamarkin. The correction does not change the results of math.QA/0504420.
