Jacobi algebroids (i.e. `Jacobi versions' of Lie algebroids) are studied in the context of graded Jacobi brackets on graded commutative algebras. This unifies varios concepts of graded Lie structures in geometry and physics. A method of…
In an unpublished preprint \cite{batanin}, Batanin conjectures that it is possible to take `slices' of a globular operad, thereby isolating the algebraic structure in each dimension. It was further hypothesised that the slices of a globular…
We introduce a functorial construction which, from a monoid, produces a set-operad. We obtain new (symmetric or not) operads as suboperads or quotients of the operad obtained from the additive monoid. These involve various familiar…
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…
A PROB is a "product and braid" category. Such categories can be used to encode the structure borne by an object in a braided monoidal category. In this paper we provide PROBs whose categories of algebras in a braided monoidal category are…
A derived operation is a bilinear operation on a commutative associative algebra $A$ defined intrinsically out of its product and several derivations of the product. We show that operators of left (or right) multiplications of a derived…
We give a self-contained and purely combinatorial proof of the well known fact that the cohomology of the braces operad is the operad $\mathsf{Ger}$ governing Gerstenhaber algebras.
Infinitesimal deformations are governed by partition Lie algebras. In characteristic $0$, these higher categorical structures are modelled by differential graded Lie algebras, but in characteristic $p$, they are more subtle. We give…
Higher-dimensional category theory is the study of n-categories, operads, braided monoidal categories, and other such exotic structures. It draws its inspiration from areas as diverse as topology, quantum algebra, mathematical physics,…
We investigate certain complexes that are associated to an operad $\mathscr{O}$ in $k$-vector spaces, where $k$ is a field of characteristic $0$. This exploits the study of modules over the $k$-linearization of the upward walled Brauer…
Under the common theme of splitting of operations, the notions of (tri)dendriform algebras, pre-Lie algebras and post-Lie algebras have attracted sustained attention with broad applications. An important aspect of their studies is as the…
This paper surveys recent work on Lie algebras of differential operators and their application to the construction of quasi-exactly solvable Schroedinger operators.
This paper studies the homotopy theory of the Grothendieck construction using model categories and semi-model categories, provides a unifying framework for the homotopy theory of operads and their algebras and modules, and uses this…
We introduce unary operadic 2-categories as a framework for operadic Grothendieck construction for categorical $\mathbb{O}$-operads, $\mathbb{O}$ being a unary operadic category. The construction is a fully faithful functor…
Starting from an operad, one can build a family of posets. From this family of posets, one can define an incidence Hopf algebra. By another construction, one can also build a group directly from the operad. We then consider its Hopf algebra…
In the paper we describe the subcategory of the category of Z-graded Lie algebras which is equivalent to the category of Jordan pairs via a functorial modification of the TKK construction. For instance, we prove that a Z-graded Lie algebra…
We associate a t-structure to a family of objects in D(A), the derived category of a Grothendieck category A. Using general results on t-structures, we give a new proof of Rickard's theorem on equivalence of bounded derived categories of…
We construct a homotopy initial functor from the partition complex of a finite set $A$ to a category of trees with leaves labelled by $A$. As an application, this provides an equivalence between different bar constructions of an operad. In…
We give a definition of an operad with general groups of equivariance suitable for use in any symmetric monoidal category with appropriate colimits. We then apply this notion to study the 2-category of algebras over an operad in Cat. We…
For some exact monoidal categories, we describe explicitly a connection between topological and algebraic definitions of the Lie bracket on the extension algebra of the unit object. The topological definition, due to Schwede and Hermann,…
