Ribbon braids and related operads
This thesis consists of two parts, both being concerned with operads related to the ribbon braid groups. In the first part, we define a notion of semidirect product for operads and use it to study the framed $n$-discs operad (the semidirect product $f\mathcal{D}_n=\mathcal{D}_n\rtimes SO(n)$ of the...
