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…
An operad describes a category of algebras and a (co)homology theory for these algebras may be formulated using the homological algebra of operads. A morphism of operads $f:\mathcal{O}\rightarrow\mathcal{P}$ describes a functor allowing a…
Category theory provides a means through which many far-ranging fields of mathematics can be related by their similar structure. In a paper by Robinson [2], this interconnectivity afforded by categorical perspectives allowed for the…
This paper is a survey on the homotopy theory of $E_n$-operads written for the new handbook of homotopy theory.
The Andr\'e-Quillen cohomology of an algebra with coefficients in a module is defined by deriving a functor based on K\"ahler differential forms. It can be computed using a cofibrant resolution of the algebra in a model category structure…
We prove, under mild assumptions, that a Quillen equivalence between symmetric monoidal model categories gives rise to a Quillen equivalence between their model categories of (non-symmetric) operads, and also between model categories of…
Inspired by recent work of Batanin and Berger on the homotopy theory of operads, a general monad-theoretic context for speaking about structures within structures is presented, and the problem of constructing the universal ambient structure…
The paper contains an application of van Kampen theorem for groupoids for computation of homotopy types of certain class of non-compact foliated surfaces obtained by gluing at most countably many strips $\mathbb{R}\times(0,1)$ with boundary…
We develop a Koszul-theoretic framework for comparing classical Alexander-type invariants with infinitesimal invariants arising from finite-type commutative differential graded algebra models. The central mechanism is Koszul linearization,…
Generalizing the approach to pseudo monoidal DG-categories as certain colored non-symmetric DG-operads, we introduce a certain relaxed notion of a category enriched in DG-categories. We construct model structures on the category of colored…
Using the theory of distributive series of monads, we construct an $(\infty,0)$-coherator called the \emph{inductive coherator}. The category of models out of the inductive coherator serve as a model for $\infty$-groupoids that possess an…
This paper emphasizes the ubiquitous role of moduli spaces of algebraic curves in associative algebra and algebraic topology. The main results are: (1) the space of an operad with multiplication is a homotopy Gerstenhaber (i.e., homotopy…
We show a variation of the usual homological freeness criterion for operadic modules over a Koszul operad. We then apply this result to decorated partition posets for some operads, showing that their augmentation is Cohen-Macaulay and…
We present new examples of deformations of smash product algebras that arise from Hopf algebra actions on pairs of module algebras. These examples involve module algebras that are Koszul, in which case a PBW theorem we established…
We study a pair of dual operads which arise in the study of moduli spaces of pointed genus 0 curves (this duality is similar to that between commutative and Lie algebras). These operads are both quadratic, and even Koszul, and arise in the…
We prove that any category of props in a symmetric monoidal model category inherits a model structure. We devote an appendix, about half the size of the paper, to the proof of the model category axioms in a general setting. We need the…
We introduce the symmetricity notions of symmetric h-monoidality, symmetroidality, and symmetric flatness. As shown in our paper arXiv:1410.5675, these properties lie at the heart of the homotopy theory of colored symmetric operads and…
We develop a higher genus version of Drinfeld associators by means of operad theory. We start by introducing a framed version of rational associators and Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller groups and show that their definition is independent of the…
We endow the category of bialgebras over a pair of operads in distribution with a cofibrantly generated model category structure. We work in the category of chain complexes over a field of characteristic zero. We split our construction in…
We describe a collection of higher homotopy operations which determine the rational homotopy type of a simply-connected space X. These are described in terms of simplicial resolutions of successive approximations (L^k,\alpha} to the Quillen…
