The Kontsevich Weight of a Wheel with Spokes Pointing Outward
by Van den Bergh, Michel
This is a companion note to “Hochschild cohomology and Atiyah classes” by Damien Calaque and the author. Using elementary methods we compute the Kontsevich weight of a wheel with spokes pointing outward. The result is in terms of modified Bernoulli numbers. The same result had been obtained earlier by Torossian (unpublished) and also recently by Thomas Willwacher using more advanced methods.
