We introduce an operad which acts on the Gerstenhaber-Schack complex of a prestack as defined by Dinh Van and Lowen, and which in particular allows us to endow this complex with an underlying $L_{\infty}$-structure. We make use of the…

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…

The purpose of this memoir is to study pre-Lie algebras up to homotopy with divided powers, and to use this algebraic structure for the study of mapping spaces in the category of operads. We define a new notion of algebra called…

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…

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…

We review several well-known operads of compactified configuration spaces and construct several new such operads, C, in the category of smooth manifolds with corners whose complexes of fundamental chains give us (i) the 2-coloured operad of…

It is shown that every algebra over the chain operad of the little disks operad gives naturally rise to a Hertling-Manin's F-manifold, that is a smooth manifold equipped with an integrable graded commutative associative product on the…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex algebraic variety and let $\operatorname{Coh} (X)$ denote its Abelian category of coherent sheaves. By the work of W. Lowen and M. Van den Bergh, it is known that the deformation theory of $\operatorname{Coh}…

In this paper we give a new foundational, categorical formulation for operations and relations and objects parameterizing them. This generalizes and unifies the theory of operads and all their cousins including but not limited to PROPs,…

Given a symplectic manifold $M$, we may define an operad structure on the the spaces $\op^k$ of the Lagrangian submanifolds of $(\bar{M})^k\times M$ via symplectic reduction. If $M$ is also a symplectic groupoid, then its multiplication…

In present paper we develop the deformation theory of operads and algebras over operads. Free resolutions (constructed via Boardman-Vogt approach) are used in order to describe formal moduli spaces of deformations. We apply the general…

In this article, we characterize convexity in terms of algebras over a PROP, and establish a tensor-product-like symmetric monoidal structure on the category of convex sets. Using these two structures, and the theory of $\scr{O}$-monoidal…

The goal of this paper is to complete Getzler-Jones' proof of Deligne's Conjecture, thereby establishing an explicit relationship between the geometry of configurations of points in the plane and the Hochschild complex of an associative…

Let $p\in [1,\infty)$. We define an $L^p$-operator algebra crossed product by a transfer operator for the topological Bernoulli shift $\varphi$ on $X=\{1,...,n\}^{\mathbb{N}}$, and we prove it is isometrically isomorphic to the $L^p$-analog…

Prestacks are algebro-geometric objects whose defining relations are far from quadratic. Indeed, they are cubic and quartic, and moreover inhomogeneous. Similarly, a morphism of $P$-algebras for a (nonsymmetric) Koszul operad $P$ has…

We construct a fully covariant,$\mathbf{O}(D,D)$-symmetric d'Alembertian -- or box operator -- that acts on tensor fields of arbitrary rank and provides a universal kinetic term for all bosonic closed-string states. In its Riemannian…

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…

We develop foundations for oriented category theory, an extension of $(\infty,\infty)$-category theory obtained by systematic usage of the Gray tensor product, in order to study lax phenomena in higher category theory. As categorical…

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 introduce a new type of operad-like structure called a P-operad, which depends on the choice of some collection of posets P, and which is governed by chains in posets of P. We introduce several examples of such structures which are…
