There are several interesting results in somewhat different aspects of algebraic topology that involve chain complexes that are defined via graphs and certain graph operations. For example, Watanabe produced non-trivial elements in the rational homotopy groups of Diff(Dā‚™) beyond the known stable range, and Berglund and Madsen showed that they appear in the stable cohomology of certain moduli spaces. A good interpretation of the emergence of these graph complexes is via (cyclic) operads. I want to discuss this definition and some of the results by Kontsevich on their homology that relate them to some problems in topology.
