Polynomial $2$-monads and delooping

Algebraic Topology 2026-05-26 v1

Abstract

Using the homotopy theory of polynomial monads developed by Batanin and Berger and extended to the 22-categorical context by Weber, we prove the cofinality of a particular morphism of polynomial 22-monads. We apply our result to give a new proof of the delooping of derived mapping spaces of infinitesimal bimodules due to Ducoulombier and Turchin.
