Boavida-Weiss equivalence conjecture for the PL Stiefel space
Boavida-Weiss equivalence conjecture for the PL Stiefel space
Let . Write for the PL Stiefel space, and let be the derived mapping space of the little discs operads, pointed at the inclusion . Boavida-Weiss equivalence conjecture. The natural map
is an equivalence. This would identify the smoothing-theoretic and operadic deloopings of disc embedding spaces and would imply compatibility of the operadic delooping with the little discs action for .
