Gravity formality

Abstract

We show that Willwacher's cyclic formality theorem can be extended to preserve natural Gravity operations on cyclic multivector fields and cyclic multidifferential operators. We express this in terms of a homotopy Gravity quasi-isomorphism with explicit local formulas. For this, we develop operadic tools related to mixed complexes and cyclic homology and prove that the operad M⥀ of natural operations on cyclic operators is formal and hence quasi-isomorphic to the Gravity operad.
