We provide a unified treatment of several commuting tensor products considered in the literature, including the tensor product of enriched categories and the Boardman-Vogt tensor product of operads and symmetric multicategories, subsuming…
We establish a duality between monads and monadic morphisms in any $(\infty,2)$-category and characterize monadic morphisms in a wide class of examples. This duality unifies several dualities between algebraic structures and their…
We define the notion of an indexed profunctor over a 2-category, and use it to develop an abstract theory of limits. The theory subsumes (conical) limits, weighted limits, ends and Kan extensions. Results include an abstract version of the…
This paper studies the existence of model category structures on algebras and modules over operads in monoidal model categories.
We consider a product of three copies of infinite symmetric group and its representations spherical with respect to the diagonal subgroup. We show that such representations generate functors from a certain category of simplicial…
I describe a generalization of the notion of operadic category due to Batanin and Markl. For each such operadic category I describe a skew monoidal category of collections, such that a monoid in this skew monoidal category is precisely an…
We initiate the systematic study of modular representations of symmetric groups that arise via the braiding in (symmetric) tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We determine what representations appear for certain…
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…
We define a new monoidal category on collections (shuffle composition). Monoids in this category (shuffle operads) turn out to bring a new insight in the theory of symmetric operads. For this category, we develop the machinery of Gr\"obner…
Constructions of spectra from symmetric monoidal categories are typically functorial with respect to strict structure-preserving maps, but often the maps of interest are merely lax monoidal. We describe conditions under which one can…
The goal of the paper is to establish and to investigate a fully faithful embedding of the category of group operads into that of crossed interval groups. For this, we introduce a monoidal structure on the slice of the category of operads…
This paper discusses the question of how to recognize whether an operad is E_n (ie. equivalent to the little n-cubes operad). A construction is given which produces many new examples of E_n operads. This construction is developed in the…
We show that a compact rigid balanced braided monoidal category with enough compact projective objects gives rise to a system of mapping class group representations compatible with the gluing along marked intervals. A motivation to consider…
Generalizing the algebraic formulation of the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FFTC), a class of constraints involving a pair of operators was considered in \cite{ZGK2}. For a given constraint, the existences of extensions of…
I exhibit a pair of non-symmetric operads that, although not themselves isomorphic, induce isomorphic monads. The existence of such a pair implies that if `algebraic theory' is understood as meaning `monad', operads cannot be regarded as…
We show that doubly degenerate Penon tricategories give symmetric rather than braided monoidal categories. We prove that Penon tricategories cannot give all tricategories, but we show that a slightly modified version of the definition…
We show that Mandell's inverse $K$-theory functor is a categorically-enriched non-symmetric multifunctor. In particular, it preserves algebraic structures parametrized by non-symmetric operads. As applications, we describe how ring…
We establish a highly flexible condition that guarantees that all colored symmetric operads in a symmetric monoidal model category are admissible, i.e., the category of algebras over any operad admits a model structure transferred from the…
Given a symmetric operad $P$, and a signature (or generating sequence) $\Phi$ for $P$, we define a notion of the "categorification" (or "weakening") of $P$ with respect to $\Phi$. When $P$ is the symmetric operad whose algebras are…
In categorical realizability, it is common to construct categories of assemblies and categories of modest sets from applicative structures. These categories have structures corresponding to the structures of applicative structures. In the…
