Language theory, symbolic dynamics, modelisation of viral insertion into the genetic code of a host cell motivate the introduction of new types of bialgebras whose coalgebra parts are not necessarily coassociative. One of the aim of this…
This paper examines operad structures derived from poset matrices by formulating a set of new construction rules for poset matrices. In this direction, eleven different partial composition operations will be introduced as the basis for the…
In this paper, I introduce a new generalization of the concept of an operad, further generalizing the concept of an opetope introduced by Baez and Dolan, who used this for the definition of their version of non-strict $n$-categories.…
We present a brief introduction to the theory of operator limits of random matrices to non-experts. Several open problems and conjectures are given. Connections to statistics, integrable systems, orthogonal polynomials, and more, are…
We introduce the classical theory of the interplay between group theory and topology into the context of operads and explore some applications to homotopy theory. We first propose a notion of a group operad and then develop a theory of…
We study the action of the orthogonal group on the little $n$-disks operads. As an application we provide small models (over the reals) for the framed little $n$-disks operads. It follows in particular that the framed little $n$-disks…
A new topological operad is introduced, called the splicing operad. This operad acts on a broad class of spaces of self-embeddings N --> N where N is a manifold. The action of this operad on EC(j,M) (self embeddings R^j x M --> R^j x M with…
For a given $\omega$-operad $A$ on globular sets we introduce a sequence of symmetric operads on $Set$ called slices of $A$ and show how the connected limit preserving properties of slices are related to the property of the category of…
We propose a new unifying framework for Thompson-like groups using a well-known device called operads and category theory as language. We discuss examples of operad groups which have appeared in the literature before. As a first…
Several topological and homological operads based on families of projectively weighted arcs in bounded surfaces are introduced and studied. The spaces underlying the basic operad are identified with open subsets of a compactification due to…
This paper is a survey on the homotopy theory of $E_n$-operads written for the new handbook of homotopy theory.
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…
Algebraic operads provide a powerful tool to understand the homotopy theory of the types of (co)algebras they encode. So far, the principal results and methods that this theory provides were only available in characteristic zero. The reason…
We provide a general notion of induced structures of operated algebras in the context of unary-binary operads. This notion fully captures the binary quadratic relations encoded by a unary-binary operad, thereby unifying and formalizing the…
We construct explicit minimal models for the (hyper)operads governing modular, cyclic and ordinary operads, and wheeled properads, respectively. Algebras for these models are homotopy versions of the corresponding structures.
In this paper, we generalize the Dunn-Brinkmeier~additivity theorem, which establishes a weak equivalence $\mathcal{C}_n \otimes \mathcal{C}_m \simeq \mathcal{C}_{n+m}$ for the little cubes operad $\mathcal{C}_n$. We introduce equivariant…
A new anticyclic operad Mould is introduced, on spaces of functions in several variables. It is proved that the Dendriform operad is an anticyclic suboperad of this operad. Many operations on the free Mould algebra on one generator are…
The concept of n-categories and related subject is considered. An n-category is described as an n-graph with a composition. A new definition of operad is presented. Some illustrative examples are given.
The paper surveys some new results and open problems connected with such fundamental combinatorial concepts as polytopes, simplicial complexes, cubical complexes, and subspace arrangements. Particular attention is paid to the case of…
This thesis is concerned with the application of operadic methods, particularly modular operads, to questions arising in the study of moduli spaces of surfaces as well as applications to the study of homotopy algebras and new constructions…
