Abstract
We define the notion of a 2-operad relative to an operad, and prove that the 2-associahedra form a 2-operad relative to the associahedra. Using this structure, we define the notions of an -category and -algebra in spaces and in chain complexes over a ring. Finally, we show that for any continuous map , we can associate an -algebra in , which specializes to and .
