A consistent description of images on the disk and of their transformations is given as elements of a vector space and of an operators algebra. The vector space of images on the disk $\mathbb{D}$ is the Hilbert space $L^2(\mathbb{D})$ that…

We prove that the category of algebras over a cofibrant operad admits a closed model category structure. This leads to the notion of "virtual operad algebra" - the algebra over a cofibrant resolution of the given operad. In particular,…
