Operadic structure on the Gerstenhaber-Schack complex for prestacks
Abstract
We introduce an operad which acts on the Gerstenhaber-Schack complex of a prestack as defined by Dinh Van and Lowen, and which in particular allows us to endow this complex with an underlying $L_{\infty}$-structure. We make use of the operad $\operatorname{Quilt}$ which was used by Hawkins in order to solve the presheaf case. Due to the additional difficulty posed by the presence of twists, we have to use $\operatorname{Quilt}$ in a fundamentally different way (even for presheaves) in order to allow for an extension to prestacks. The resulting $L_{\infty}$-algebra governs the deformation theory of the prestack.
