An operad structure on certain bicoloured noncrossing configurations in regular polygons is studied. Motivated by this study, a general functorial construction of enveloping operad, with input a coloured operad and output an operad, is…
We consider the endomorphism operad of a functor, which is roughly the object of natural transformations from (monoidal) powers of that functor to itself. There are many examples from geometry, topology, and algebra where this object has…
In the theory of operads we consider functors of generalized symmetric powers defined by sums of coinvariant modules under actions of symmetric groups. One observes classically that the construction of symmetric functors provides an…
The suggested operator manifold formalism enables to develop an approach to the unification of the geometry and the field theory. We also elaborate the formalism of operator multimanifold yielding the multiworld geometry involving the…
We introduce a generalization of the notion of operad that we call a contractad, whose set of operations is indexed by connected graphs and whose composition rules are numbered by contractions of connected subgraphs. We show that many…
A general notion of operad is given, which includes as instances, the operads originally conceived to study loop spaces, as well as the higher operads that arise in the globular approach to higher dimensional algebra. In the framework of…
First, we give a functorial construction of a group associated to a symmetric operad. Applied to the endomorphism operad it gives the group of formal diffeomorphisms. Second, we associate a symmetric operad to any family of decorated graphs…
Modular operads are an extension of operads. In the same way that operads, as dendroidal sets, can be considered as presheaves over the category of trees, so can modular operads be considered as presheaves over a category of graphs. This…
Curved algebras are a generalization of differential graded algebras which have found numerous applications recently. The goal of this foundational article is to introduce the notion of a curved operad, and to develop the operadic calculus…
Some binary quadratic operads are endowed with anticyclic structures and their characteristic functions as anticyclic operads are determined, or conjectured in one case.
We argue that operads provide a general framework for dealing with polynomials and combinatory completeness of combinatory algebras, including the classical $\mathbf{SK}$-algebras, linear $\mathbf{BCI}$-algebras, planar…
The purpose of this exposition is to compare the constructions of classical nonsymmetric operads (and their algebras) to that of the globular operads of Leinster and Batanin. It is hoped that, through this comparison, understanding algebras…
An implicit operation of a class of similar algebras $\mathsf{K}$ is a collection of first order definable partial functions on the members of $\mathsf{K}$ that is globally preserved by homomorphisms. For instance, "taking inverses" can be…
Generalized numbers, arithmetic operators and derivative operators, grouped in four classes based on symmetry features, are introduced. Their building element is the pair of $q$-logarithm/$q$-exponential inverse functions. Some of the…
In this paper we give an ordinal analysis of the theory of second order arithmetic. We do this by working with proof trees -- that is, "deductions" which may not be well-founded. Working in a suitable theory, we are able to represent…
This survey provides an elementary introduction to operads and to their applications in homotopical algebra. The aim is to explain how the notion of an operad was prompted by the necessity to have an algebraic object which encodes higher…
We describe a Grothendieck construction for non-symmetric operads with values in categories, and hence in groupoids and posets. The construction produces a 2-category which is operadically fibered over the category D of finite non-empty…
This paper is an introduction to a series of papers in which we give combinatorial models for certain important operads (including A-infinity and E-infinity operads, the little n-cubes operads, and the framed little disks operad) and…
A new hierarchy of operads over the linear spans of $\delta$-cliffs, which are some words of integers, is introduced. These operads are intended to be analogues of the operad of permutations, also known as the associative symmetric operad.…
We introduce a notion of a noncommutative function defined on a domain of $d$-tuples of bounded operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. Inverse and implicit function theorems in this setting are established. When these…
