nLab BD operad

Contents

Idea

The Beilinson-Drinfeld operad is the operad whose algebras over an operad are BD algebras.

See at relation between BV and BD.

Definition

The underlying graded vector spaces are

BDP 0[[]] BD \coloneqq P_0 \otimes \mathbb{R}[ [\hbar] ]

and the differential is

d(()())={,}. d ( (-)\cdots (-)) = \hbar \{-,-\} \,.
