The diagonal of the operahedra (Q2155191): Difference between revisions

The paper introduces a general theory of coherent cellular approximations of the diagonal for families of polytopes. The results are applied to various classes of polytopes including associahedra and permutahedra. Compatible topological cellular operad structure on the Loday realizations of the operahedra is obtained providing a model for topological and algebraic homotopy operads and an explicit functorial formula for their tensor product. The fundamental hyperplane arrangement of a polytope plays an important role in the considerations.
