Abstract

Let Ed\mathbb{E}_d denote the little discs operad for 1d1 \le d \le \infty and let C\mathcal{C} be an \infty-category all of whose mapping spaces are nn-truncated. We prove that when considering Ed\mathbb{E}_d-monoids in C\mathcal{C}, all coherence diagrams of arity >n+3>n+3 are redundant. More generally, for an \infty-operad O\mathcal{O} we bound the arity of the relevant coherence diagrams in terms of the connectivity of certain operadic partition complexes associated to O\mathcal{O}.
