Abstract: This is the first of two papers in which we prove that a cell model of the moduli space of curves with marked points and tangent vectors at the marked points acts on the Hochschild co--chains of a Frobenius algebra. We also prove that a there is dg--PROP action of a version of Sullivan Chord diagrams which acts on the normalized Hochschild co-chains of a Frobenius algebra. These actions lift to operadic correlation functions on the co--cycles. In particular, the PROP action gives an action on the homology of a loop space of a compact simply--connected manifold. In this first part, we set up the topological operads/PROPs and their cell models. The main theorems of this part are that there is a cell model operad for the moduli space of genus $g$ curves with $n$ punctures and a tangent vector at each of these punctures and that there exists a CW complex whose chains are isomorphic to a certain type of Sullivan Chord diagrams and that they form a PROP. Furthermore there exist weak versions of these structures on the topological level which all lie inside an all encompassing cyclic (rational) operad.

Review text

This is the first of two papers to prove that the cell model of the moduli space of curves with marked points and tangent vectors acts on the Hochschild cochains of a Frobenius algebra. There are several combinatorially defined objects that underlie operads and PROPs which act on chain and cochain modules. These include \textit{Cacti}, \textit{Arc}s, chord diagrams, little discs, etc. Interest is strong for these structures because they induce operations on homology under the right circumstances. The second part of this series promises the definitions of the actions. In this paper, the constructions and relations between constructions are given of the various operads and PROPs, sometimes defined weakly to gain flexibility. The starring role is played by versions of the \textit{Arc} operad, studied by \textit{R. M. Kaufmann, M. Livernet} and \textit{R. C. Penner} [Geom. Topol. 7, 511--568 (2003; Zbl 1034.18009)] which is then related to moduli spaces via a dual graph construction taking us through marked metric ribbon graphs.
