added statement of and references to the weak equivalence with the Fulton-MacPherson operad (here)
added the same statement also at Fulton-MacPherson operad
The statement that can be identified with an open subset of is wrong, isn’t it?
For example, can be identified with the set of pairs satisfying , , which is a triangle that includes part of its boundary.
I suppose this is about this Definition (which, somewhat awkwardly, somebody had copied verbatim from HA p. 758; I have now at least added some hyperlinks and touched the formatting and wording).
Regarding the point you raise: Scanning through Higher Algebra, it looks like the identity map is meant to count as a rectilinear embedding (explicit in Ex. 5.1.0.6, p. 759), while would-be open-ness of the space of rectilinear embedding seems not to be used. That makes me think that the “open subset” on p. 758 is a glitch and that the line was just meant to say that is equipped with the subspace topology.
Oh good; I’m not missing something and it’s harmless. Since I’ve just started trying to digest the little cubes operad and still find it somewhat opaque I really didn’t feel confident just removing that line.
