Description
In the first part of this talk, we will recall the construction of the elliptic associator by Enriquez, and underline its properties in analogy to the well-known properties of the Drinfeld associator ΦKZ. In the second part, we will give a theorem showing that what is going here is much more than a mere analogy: in fact the elliptic associator can be constructed directly from the Drinfeld associator, and its main properties can then be derived directly from those of ΦKZ.
