We define a notion of "theory of (1,infty)-categories", and we prove that such a theory is unique up to equivalence.

We give an alternate conception of string diagrams as labeled 1-dimensional oriented cobordisms, the operad of which we denote by Cob/O, where O is the set of string labels. The axioms of traced (symmetric monoidal) categories are fully…

A diagram of algebras is a functor valued in a category of associative algebras. I construct an operad acting on the Hochschild bicomplex of a diagram of algebras. Using this operad, I give a direct proof that the Hochschild cohomology of a…

An algebra is said to be \emph{$\tau$-tilting finite} provided it has only a finite number of $\tau$-rigid objects up to isomorphism. We associate a category to each such algebra. The objects are the wide subcategories of its category of…

We categorify cocompleteness results of monad theory, in the context of pseudomonads. We first prove a general result establishing that, in any 2-category, weighted bicolimits can be constructed from oplax bicolimits and bicoequalizers of…

Operads were originally defined by May to have right actions of the symmetric groups, but later formulations have also used no groups actions at all or group actions by such families as the braid groups. We call such families action…

We define weak 2-categories of finite dimensional algebras with bimodules, along with collections of operators $\mathbb{O}_{(c,x)}$ on these 2-categories. We prove that special examples $\mathbb{O}_p$ of these operators control all…

A 2-Hilbert space is a category with structures and properties analogous to those of a Hilbert space. More precisely, we define a 2-Hilbert space to be an abelian category enriched over Hilb with a *-structure, conjugate-linear on the…

We prove a connectivity bound for maps of $\infty$-operads of the form $\mathbb{A}_{k_1} \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathbb{A}_{k_n} \to \mathbb{E}_n$, and as a consequence, give an inductive way to construct $\mathbb{E}_n$-algebras in…

This article is a survey of algebra in the $\infty$-categorical context, as developed by Lurie in "Higher Algebra", and is a chapter in the "Handbook of Homotopy Theory". We begin by introducing symmetric monoidal stable…

We introduce a notion of $\Theta$-categories, which is a refinement of the notion of symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories. We use this notion to prove a Tannakian duality statement, relating $\Theta$-categories with fpqc-stacks by means…

We define the notion of a relative matrad and realize the free relative matrad as a free H_\infty-bimodule structure on cellular chains of bimultiplihedra JJ={JJ_{n,m} = JJ_{m,n}}. We define a morphism G:A => B of A_\infty-bialgebras as a…

We investigate the relative opers over the complex analytic family of compact complex manifolds of relative dimension one. We introduce the notion of relative opers arising from the second fundamental form associated with a relative…

This paper gives an explicit description of the categorical operad whose algebras are precisely symmetric monoidal categories. This allows us to place the operad in a sequence of four, and therefore a sequence of four successively stricter…

Vertex operator algebras are mathematically rigorous objects corresponding to chiral algebras in conformal field theory. Operads are mathematical devices to describe operations, that is, $n$-ary operations for all $n$ greater than or equal…

It is clarified how cohomologies and Gerstenhaber algebras can be associated with linear pre-operads (comp algebras). Their relation to mechanics and operadic physics is concisely discussed.

This paper provides some background to the theory of operads, used in the first author's papers on 2d topological field theory (hep-th/921204, CMP 159 (1994), 265-285; hep-th/9305013). It is intended for specialists.

We introduce the notion of a matrad M = {M_{n,m}} whose submodules M_{*,1} and M_{1,*} are non-Sigma operads. We define the free matrad H_{\infty} generated by a singleton in each bidegree (m,n) and realize H_{\infty} as the cellular chains…

We introduce the notion of a definable category--a category equivalent to a full subcategory of a locally finitely presentable category that is closed under products, directed colimits and pure subobjects. Definable subcategories are…

We introduce the notion of pie algebra for a 2-monad, these bearing the same relationship to the flexible and semiflexible algebras as pie limits do to flexible and semiflexible ones. We see that in many cases, the pie algebras are…
