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…
We use Lurie's symmetric monoidal envelope functor to give two new descriptions of $\infty$-operads: as certain symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories whose underlying symmetric monoidal $\infty$-groupoids are free, and as certain symmetric…
In this paper, we describe a general theory of modules over an algebra over an operad. We also study functors between categories of modules. Specializing to the operad E_d of little d-dimensional disks, we show that each (d-1)-manifold…
We build model structures on the category of equivariant simplicial operads with a fixed set of colors, with weak equivalences determined by families of subgroups. In particular, by specifying to the family of graph subgroups (or, more…
We extend the notion of the nerve of a category for a small class of crossed simplicial groups, explicitly describing them using generators and relations. We do this by first considering a generalised bar construction of a group before…
The essential parts of the operad algebra are concisely presented, which should be useful when confronting with the operadic physics. It is also clarified how the Gerstenhaber algebras can be associated with the linear pre-operads (comp…
The category of differential graded operads is a cofibrantly generated model category and as such inherits simplicial mapping spaces. The vertices of an operad mapping space are just operad morphisms. The 1-simplices represent homotopies…
Using the description of enriched $\infty$-operads as associative algebras in symmetric sequences, we define algebras for enriched $\infty$-operads as certain modules in symmetric sequences. For $\mathbf{V}$ a symmetric monoidal model…
Motivated by the challenge of defining twisted quantum field theories in the context of higher categories, we develop a general framework for lax and oplax transformations and their higher analogs between strong $(\infty, n)$-functors. We…
Circuit algebras are a symmetric version of Jones's planar algebras. They originated in quantum topology as a framework for encoding virtual crossings. This paper extends existing results for modular operads to construct a graphical…
This thesis is concerned with the application of operadic methods, particularly modular operads, to questions arising in the study of moduli spaces of surfaces as well as applications to the study of homotopy algebras and new constructions…
We generalize the classical operad pair theory to a new model for $E_\infty$ ring spaces, which we call ring operad theory, and establish a connection with the classical operad pair theory, allowing the classical multiplicative infinite…
In an enriched setting, we show that higher groupoids and higher categories form categories of fibrant objects. The nerve of a differential graded algebra is a higher category in the category of algebraic varieties, where covers are defined…
Classical spectral theory provides powerful tools for analyzing linear operators, but does not extend naturally to nonlinear or compositional settings. In particular, there is no general way to transport spectral invariants in a functorial…
We show that a certain class of categorical operads give rise to $E_n$-operads after geometric realization. The main arguments are purely combinatorial and avoid the technical topological assumptions otherwise found in the literature.
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…
For any category ${\mathcal E}$ and monad $T$ thereon, we introduce the notion of $T$-simplicial object in ${\mathcal E}$. Any $T$-category in the sense of Burroni induces a $T$-simplicial object as its nerve. This nerve construction…
We show how to treat families of $\infty$-categories fibered in categorical patterns (e.g., $\infty$-operads and monoidal $\infty$-categories) in terms of fibrations by relativizing the Grothendieck construction. As applications, we…
We generalize the construction of multitildes in the aim to provide multitilde operators for regular languages. We show that the underliying algebraic structure involves the action of some operads. An operad is an algebraic structure that…
In this paper we initiate the study of enriched $\infty$-operads. We introduce several models for these objects, including enriched versions of Barwick's Segal operads and the dendroidal Segal spaces of Cisinski and Moerdijk, and show these…
