Algebras of higher operads as enriched categories

Category Theory 2008-03-26 v1 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We decribe the correspondence between normalised ω\omega-operads and certain lax monoidal structures on the category of globular sets. As with ordinary monoidal categories, one has a notion of category enriched in a lax monoidal category. Within the aforementioned correspondence, we provide also an equivalence between the algebras of a given normalised ω\omega-operad, and categories enriched in globular sets for the induced lax monoidal structure.
