Abstract

We advance the foundational study of be Nardin-Shah's \infty-category of GG-operads and their associated \infty-categories of algebras. In particular, we construct the underlying GG-symmetric sequence of a (one color) GG-operad, yielding a monadic functor; we use this to lift Bonventre's genuine operadic nerve to a conservative functor of \infty-categories, restricting to an equivalence between categories of discrete GG-operads. Using this, we extend Blumberg-Hill's program concerning N\mathcal{N}_\infty-operads to arbitrary sub-operads of the terminal GG-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 OpG\mathrm{Op}_G; in particular, this specializes to a GG-symmetric monoidal \infty-category of O\mathcal{O}-algebras in a GG-symmetric monoidal \infty-category whose P\mathcal{P}-algebras are objects with interchanging O\mathcal{O}-algebra and P\mathcal{P}-algebra structures.
