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…
This note is an introduction to several generalizations of the dendroidal sets of Moerdijk--Weiss. Dendroidal sets are presheaves on a category of rooted trees, and here we consider indexing categories whose objects are other kinds of…
We describe a category of Feynman graphs and show how it relates to compact symmetric multicategories (coloured modular operads) just as linear orders relate to categories and rooted trees relate to multicategories. More specifically we…
We introduce twisted arrow categories of operads and of algebras over operads. Up to equivalence of categories, the simplex category $\Delta$, Segal's category $\Gamma$, Connes cyclic category $\Lambda$, Moerdijk-Weiss dendroidal category…
We prove cyclic sieving phenomena satisfied by corner-rooted plane trees (alias ordered trees). The sets of rooted plane trees that we consider are: (1) all trees with $n$ nodes; (2) all trees with $n$ nodes and $k$ leaves; (3) all trees…
We describe a category of undirected graphs which comes equipped with a faithful functor into the category of (colored) modular operads. The associated singular functor from modular operads to presheaves is fully faithful, and its essential…
We characterize the exponentiable objects for a wide range of structures prevalent in $\infty$-categorical algebra, extending the construction of Day convolution to more general structures than $\infty$-operads. More precisely, we give a…
We discuss a variant of the category of dendroidal sets, the so-called closed dendroidal sets which are indexed by trees without leaves. This category carries a Quillen model structure which behaves better than the one on general dendroidal…
We show that normalized cacti form an $\infty$-operad in the form of a dendroidal space satisfying a weak Segal condition. To do this, we introduce a new topological operad of bracketed trees and an enrichment of the dendroidal category…
An operad (this paper deals with non-symmetric operads)may be conceived as a partial algebra with a family of insertion operations, Gerstenhaber's circle-i products, which satisfy two kinds of associativity, one of them involving…
Batanin defines a weak $\omega$-category as an algebra for a certain operad. Leinster refines this idea and defines the weak $\omega$-category operad as the initial object of a category of "operads with contraction". We demonstrate how a…
We present a homotopy theory for a weak version of modular operads whose compositions and contractions are only defined up to homotopy. This homotopy theory takes the form of a Quillen model structure on the collection of simplicial…
This thesis is devoted to the proof of a theorem showing the existence of a closed model category structure for weakly enriched categories. It requires first of all the definitions of weakly enriched categories and equivalences of weakly…
We introduce a general definition for colored cyclic operads over a symmetric monoidal ground category, which has several appealing features. The forgetful functor from colored cyclic operads to colored operads has both adjoints, each of…
We prove that the category of trees $\Omega$ is a test category in the sense of Grothendieck. This implies that the category of dendroidal sets is endowed with the structure of a model category Quillen-equivalent to spaces. We show that…
We show that various categories of trees can be modeled by Grothendieck constructions on categories of trees with a fixed set of leaves. We prove this result for the dendroidal category $\Omega$, the category $\Omega^G$ of trees with a…
We introduce the idea of a weakly entangled linear order, and show that it is consistent for a Suslin line to be weakly entangled. We generalize the notion of entangled linear orders to $\omega_1$-trees, and prove that an $\omega_1$-tree is…
We define new combinatorial objects, called shrubs, such that forests of rooted trees are shrubs. We then introduce a structure of operad on shrubs. We show that this operad is contained in the Zinbiel operad, by using the inclusion of…
We establish a Quillen equivalence relating the homotopy theory of Segal operads and the homotopy theory of simplicial operads, from which we deduce that the homotopy coherent nerve functor is a right Quillen equivalence from the model…
We define a category $\mathsf{List}$ whose objects are sets and morphisms are mappings which assign to an element in the domain an ordered sequence (list) of elements in the codomain. We introduce and study a category of simplicial objects…
