We study differential graded operads and $p$-adic stable homotopy theory. We first construct a new class of differential graded operads, which we call the stable operads. These operads are, in a particular sense, stabilizations of…

We define a notion of $\infty$-properads that generalises $\infty$-operads by allowing operations with multiple outputs. Specializing to the case where each operation has a single output provides a simple new perspective on…

This paper is an introduction to a series of papers in which we give combinatorial models for certain important operads (including A-infinity and E-infinity operads, the little n-cubes operads, and the framed little disks operad) and…

Dendroidal sets offer a formalism for the study of $\infty$-operads akin to the formalism of $\infty$-categories by means of simplicial sets. We present here an account of the current state of the theory while placing it in the context of…

We provide bar and cobar constructions as functors acting between various categories of curved operads and curved cooperads. Cobar and bar constructions are adjoint to each other. Given a twisting cochain between a curved augmented cooperad…

Let M be a bicomplete, closed symmetric monoidal category. Let P be an operad in M, i.e., a monoid in the category of symmetric sequences of objects in M, with its composition monoidal structure. Let R be a P-co-ring, i.e., a comonoid in…

Operads were originally defined as V-operads, that is, enriched in a symmetric or braided monoidal category V. The symmetry or braiding in V is required in order to describe the associativity axiom the operads must obey, as well as 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…

We give a definition of an operad with general groups of equivariance suitable for use in any symmetric monoidal category with appropriate colimits. We then apply this notion to study the 2-category of algebras over an operad in Cat. We…

We define the notion of a 2-operad relative to an operad, and prove that the 2-associahedra form a 2-operad relative to the associahedra. Using this structure, we define the notions of an $(A_\infty,2)$-category and $(A_\infty,2)$-algebra…

We define a reduced $\infty$-operad $\mathcal{P}$ to be $d$-connected if the spaces $\mathcal{P}\left(n\right)$, of $n$-ary operations, are $d$-connected for all $n\ge0$. Let $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{Q}$ be two reduced $\infty$-operads.…

We prove the existence of minimal models a la Sullivan for operads with non-trivial arity zero. So, up to homotopy algebras with strict units are just operad algebras over these minimal models. As an application we give another proof of the…

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 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…

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…

Concrete two-set (module-like and algebra-like) algebraic structures are investigated from the viewpoint that the initial arities of all operations are arbitrary. Relations between operations arising from the structure definitions, however,…

We give a description of unital operads in a symmetric monoidal category as monoids in a monoidal category of unital $\Lambda$-sequences. This is a new variant of Kelly's old description of operads as monoids in the monoidal category of…

From the `cofree' cooperad $T'(A[-1])$ on a collection $A$ together with a differential, we construct an $L_\infty$-algebra structure on the total space $\bigoplus_nA(n)$ that descends to coinvariants. We use this construction to define an…
