Enriched $\infty$-operads as marked algebras

Abstract

We show that an enriched \infty-operad is completely determined by its category of right modules together with a `marking' of the representable modules. More precisely, for any presentably monoidal \infty-category V\mathcal{V} we construct an equivalence between the category of colored V\mathcal{V}-enriched \infty-operads and a certain full subcategory of the category of presentably symmetric monoidal V\mathcal{V}-module \infty-categories equipped with a functor from an \infty-groupoid. This effectively allows us to reduce many aspects of enriched \infty-operad theory to the theory of presentably symmetric monoidal \infty-categories. As an application, we describe a notion of univalence (or Rezk-completeness) for enriched \infty-operads, and directly construct an equivalence between univalent S\mathcal{S}-enriched \infty-operads in our sense and Lurie's model of \infty-operads. We study envelopes and categories of algebras for enriched \infty-operads and show that, in the S\mathcal{S}-enriched case, the resulting notions agree in both models.
