Abstract

We show how to compute the Tamarkin–Tsygan calculus of an associative algebra by providing, for a given cofibrant replacement of it, a ‘small’ $\mathsf{Calc}_\infty$-model of its calculus, which we make somewhat explicit at the level of $\mathsf{Calc}$-algebras. To do this, we prove that the operad $\mathsf{Calc}$ is inhomogeneous Koszul; to our best knowledge, this result is new. We illustrate our technique by carrying out some computations for two monomial associative algebras using the cofibrant replacement obtained by the author in [39].
