Cyclic operads through modules
Thomas Willwacher
Abstract
We describe a way to compute mapping spaces of cyclic operads through modules. As an application we compute the homotopy automorphism space of the cyclic Batalin-Vilkovisky (Hopf co-)operad.

Theorem 1.1
The forgetful functor $F$ is part of a Quillen adjunction For $\mathop{\mathrm{\mathsfit{P}}}\nolimits$ any augmented cyclic operad the derived counit of the adjunction is a weak equivalence.
