Abstract:  

In this talk, the configuration space of marked points on the complex
plane is considered. We investigate a decomposition of this space by
so-called Gauss-skizze i.e. a class of graphs being forests. These
Gauss-skizze, reminiscent of Grothendieck's dessins d'enfant, provide a
totally different real geometric insight on this complex configuration
space, which under the light of classical complex geometry tools,
remains invisible. Topologically speaking, this stratification is shown
to be a Goresky-MacPherson stratification. 

  We prove that for Gauss-skizze, classical tools from deformation
theory, ruled by a Maurer--Cartan equation can be used only locally. 

  We show as well, that the deformation of the Gauss-skizze is governed
by a Hamilton--Jacobi differential equation. 

Finally, a Gauss-skizze operad is introduced which can be seen as an
enriched Fulton--MacPherson operad, topologically equivalent to the
little 2-disc operad. 

The combinatorial flavour of this tool allows not only a new
interpretation of the moduli space of genus 0 curves with n marked
points, but gives a very geometric understanding of the
Grothendieck--Teichmuller group.
