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…

Certain results involving "higher structures" are not currently accessible to computer formalization because the prerequisite $\infty$-category theory has not been formalized. To support future work on formalizing $\infty$-category theory…

We introduce a symmetric operad $\square p$ ("box-op") which describes a certain calculus of rectangular labeled ``boxes''. Algebras over $\square p$, which we call box operads, have appeared under the name of fc multicategories in work by…

Completeness proofs in categorical semantics usually proceed by building a syntactic category whose composition is given by substitution. For untyped effectful Call-by-Value languages, this runs into a basic obstacle: there is no canonical…

We relate the relative nerve $\mathrm{N}_f(\mathcal{D})$ of a diagram of simplicial sets $f \colon \mathcal{D} \to \mathsf{sSet}$ with the Grothendieck construction $\mathsf{Gr} F$ of a simplicial functor $F \colon \mathcal{D} \to…

We prove the existence of Morita model structures on the categories of small simplicial categories, simplicial sets, simplicial operads and dendroidal sets, modelling the Morita homotopy theory of $(\infty,1)$-categories and…

We construct a category $\OrdFor$ as an arboreal extension of $\Delta_{\mathrm{epi}}\subseteq\Delta$, whose morphisms are ordered forests composed by grafting. We define a full functor $\pi\colon \OrdFor\to\Delta_{\mathrm{epi}}^{op}$…

We define an operad in Top, called $\text{FM}_2^W$. The spaces in $\text{FM}_2^W$ come with CW decompositions, such that the operad compositions are cellular. In fact, each space in $\text{FM}_2^W$ is the realization of a simplicial set. We…

Given a symmetric operad $P$, and a signature (or generating sequence) $\Phi$ for $P$, we define a notion of the "categorification" (or "weakening") of $P$ with respect to $\Phi$. When $P$ is the symmetric operad whose algebras are…

The classical Eckmann-Hilton argument shows that two monoid structures on a set, such that one is a homomorphism for the other, coincide and, moreover, the resulting monoid is commutative. This argument immediately gives a proof of the…

We use the terms "$\infty$-categories" and "$\infty$-functors" to mean the objects and morphisms in an "$\infty$-cosmos." Quasi-categories, Segal categories, complete Segal spaces, naturally marked simplicial sets, iterated complete Segal…

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…

We give a definition of weak n-categories based on the theory of operads. We work with operads having an arbitrary set S of types, or `S-operads', and given such an operad O, we denote its set of operations by elt(O). Then for any S-operad…

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…

I describe a generalization of the notion of operadic category due to Batanin and Markl. For each such operadic category I describe a skew monoidal category of collections, such that a monoid in this skew monoidal category is precisely an…

We rewrite classical topological definitions using the category-theoretic notation of arrows and are led to concise reformulations in terms of simplicial categories and orthogonality of morphisms, which we hope might be of use in the…
