Abstract
Using the language of moperads -- monoids in the category of right modules over an operad -- we reinterpret the Alekseev--Enriquez--Torossian construction of Kashiwara--Vergne (KV) solutions from associators. We show that any equivalence between the moperad of parenthesized braids with a frozen strand and the moperad of chord diagrams gives rise to a family of genus zero KV solutions operadically generated by a single classical KV solution. We show that the Grothendieck--Teichmüller module groups act on the latter, intertwining the actions of the KV symmetry groups. In the other direction, we show that any symmetric KV solution gives rise to a module map from parenthesized braids with a frozen strand to tangential automorphisms of free Lie algebras. This map factors through the moperad of chord diagrams if and only if the associated KV associator is a Drinfeld associator.
