Operadic actions on long knots and 2-string links

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In the present work, we realize the space of string 2-links mathcalL as a free algebra over a colored operad denoted mathcalSCL (for "Swiss-Cheese for links"). This result extends works of Burke and Koytcheff about the quotient of mathcalL by its center and is compatible with Budney's freeness theorem for long knots. From an algebraic point of view, our main result refines Blaire, Burke and Koytcheff's theorem on the monoid of isotopy classes of string links. Topologically, it expresses the homotopy type of the isotopy class of a string 2-link in terms of the homotopy types of the classes of its prime factors.
