Equivariant operads, symmetric sequences, and Boardman-Vogt tensor products
Abstract
We advance the foundational study of be Nardin-Shah's -category of -operads and their associated -categories of algebras. In particular, we construct the underlying -symmetric sequence of a (one color) -operad, yielding a monadic functor; we use this to lift Bonventre's genuine operadic nerve to a conservative functor of -categories, restricting to an equivalence between categories of discrete -operads. Using this, we extend Blumberg-Hill's program concerning -operads to arbitrary sub-operads of the terminal -operad, which we show are equivalent to weak indexing systems. We then go on to define and characterize a homotopy-commutative and closed Boardman-Vogt tensor product on ; in particular, this specializes to a -symmetric monoidal -category of -algebras in a -symmetric monoidal -category whose -algebras are objects with interchanging -algebra and -algebra structures.
