A finitely presented ${E}_{\infty}$-prop II: cellular context
Abstract
We construct, using finitely many generating cell and relations, props in the category of CW-complexes with the property that their associated operads are models for the -operad. We use one of these to construct a cellular -bialgebra structure on the interval and derive from it a natural cellular -coalgebra structure on the geometric realization of a simplicial set which, passing to cellular chains, recovers up to signs the Barratt-Eccles and Surjection coalgebra structures introduced by Berger-Fresse and McClure-Smith. We use another prop, a quotient of the first, to relate our constructions to earlier work of Kaufmann and prove a conjecture of his. This is the second of two papers in a series, the first investigates analogue constructions in the category of chain complexes.
