Algebraic structures with multiple copies of a given type of operations interrelated by various compatibility conditions have long being studied in mathematics and mathematical physics. They are broadly referred as linearly compatible,…
Categories, n-categories, double categories, and multicategories (among others) all have similar definitions as collections of cells with composition operations. We give an explicit description of the information required to define any…
We prove the combinatorial property of shortness for freehedra. Note that associahedra, a sibling family of polytopes, are not short.
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…
This is the first paper of a series which aims to set up the cornerstones of Koszul duality for operads over operadic categories. To this end we single out additional properties of operadic categories under which the theory of quadratic…
We introduce two coloured operads in sets -- the lattice path operad and a cyclic extension of it -- closely related to iterated loop spaces and to universal operations on cochains. As main application we present a formal construction of an…
The aim of this paper is to further explore an idea from J.-L. Loday briefly exposed in [5]. We impose a natural and simple symmetry on a unit action over the most general quadratic relation which can be written. This leads us to two…
In this short notes we propose a new notion of contractibility for coloured $\omega$-operad defined in the article published in Cahiers de Topologie et de G{\'e}om{\'e}trie Diff{\'e}rentielle Cat{\'e}gorique (2011), volume 4. We propose…
We recall several categories of graphs which are useful for describing homotopy-coherent versions of generalized operads (e.g. cyclic operads, modular operads, properads, and so on), and give new, uniform definitions for their morphisms.…
We set up a general framework for enriching a subcategory of the category of noncommutative sets over a category C using products of the objects of a non-\Sigma operad P in \C. By viewing the simplicial category as a subcategory of the…
We determine all values of the parameters for which the cell modules form a standard system, for a class of cellular diagram algebras including partition, Brauer, walled Brauer, Temperley-Lieb and Jones algebras. For this, we develop and…
The cell-attachment problem, perhaps first studied by J.H.C. Whitehead around 1940, asks one to describe the effect of attaching one or more cells, on the algebraic invariants of a topological space. This thesis studies the effect of cell…
This paper studies the existence of model category structures on algebras and modules over operads in monoidal model categories.
Our main purpose is to describe the category of isotropic cellular spectra over flexible fields. Guided by [6], we show that it is equivalent, as a stable $\infty$-category equipped with a $t$-structure, to the derived category of left…
Many systems of interest in science and engineering are made up of interacting subsystems. These subsystems, in turn, could be made up of collections of smaller interacting subsystems and so on. In a series of papers David Spivak with…
The purpose of this paper is to study the derived category of simplicial multicategories with arbitrary sets of objects (also known as, colored operads in simplicial sets). Our main result is a derived Morita theory for operads-where we…
We unravel the algebraic structure which controls the various ways of computing the word ((xy)(zt)) and its siblings. We show that it gives rise to a new type of operads, that we call permutads. It turns out that this notion is equivalent…
A general notion of operad is given, which includes as instances, the operads originally conceived to study loop spaces, as well as the higher operads that arise in the globular approach to higher dimensional algebra. In the framework of…
In this survey article we discuss certain homotopy coherent enhancements of the coalgebra structure on cellular chains defined by an approximation to the diagonal. Over the rational numbers, $C_\infty$-coalgebra structures control the…
In this paper, we set up a rational homotopy theory for operads in simplicial sets whose term of arity one is not necessarily reduced to an operadic unit, extending results obtained by the author in the book "Homotopy of operads and…
