It is a classical theorem that the free product of ordered groups is orderable. In this note we show that, using a method of G. Bergman, an ordering of the free product can be constructed in a functorial manner, in the category of ordered…
The purpose of this dissertation is to set up a theory of generalized operads and multicategories, and to use it as a language in which to propose a definition of weak n-category. Included is a full explanation of why the proposed…
This paper generalizes the normally ordered tensor product from Tate vector spaces to Tate objects over arbitrary exact categories. We show how to lift bi-right exact monoidal structures, duality functors, and construct external Homs. We…
We endow categories of non-symmetric operads with natural model structures. We work with no restriction on our operads and only assume the usual hypotheses for model categories with a symmetric monoidal structure. We also study categories…
We present a general construction of the derived category of an algebra over an operad and establish its invariance properties. A central role is played by the enveloping operad of an algebra over an operad.
A classical E-infinity operad is formed by the bar construction of the symmetric groups. Such an operad has been introduced by M. Barratt and P. Eccles in the context of simplicial sets in order to have an analogue of the Milnor…
We review definitions and basic properties of operads, PROPs and algebras over these structures.
Given a map $B\to B\mathrm{Top}(n)$ of spaces, one can define a version $\mathbb{E}_{B}$ of the little cubes operad, whose construction is due to Lurie. We show that $\mathbb{E}_{B}$ enjoys the universal property that, for every…
It is shown that the operad maps $E_n\to E_{n+k}$ are formal over the reals for $k\geq 2$ and non-formal for $k=1$. Furthermore we compute the cohomology of the deformation complex of the operad maps $E_{n}\to E_{n+1}$, proving an algebraic…
For a directed polytope, we construct a colored operad whose Poincare-Hilbert series encodes certain operations on the cellular complex of the polytope. We conjecture that for a class of short polytopes the constructed operads are Koszul…
The vector space of all polygons with configurations of diagonals is endowed with an operad structure. This is the consequence of a functorial construction $\mathsf{C}$ introduced here, which takes unitary magmas $\mathcal{M}$ as input and…
A new hierarchy of operads over the linear spans of $\delta$-cliffs, which are some words of integers, is introduced. These operads are intended to be analogues of the operad of permutations, also known as the associative symmetric operad.…
We describe four natural operad structures on the vector space generated by isomorphism classes of finite posets. The three last ones are set-theoretical and can be seen as a simplified version of the first, the same way the NAP operad…
This monograph provides a coherent development of operads, infinity operads, and monoidal categories, equipped with equivariant structures encoded by an action operad. A group operad is a planar operad with an action operad equivariant…
In the theory of operads we consider functors of generalized symmetric powers defined by sums of coinvariant modules under actions of symmetric groups. One observes classically that the construction of symmetric functors provides an…
The concept of a crossed tensor product of algebras is studied from a few points of views. Some related constructions are considered. Crossed enveloping algebras and their representations are discussed. Applications to the noncommutative…
In a series of recent papers, we have introduced an object that was constructed on the connection but which was proven to be a tensor: this object, thus called tensorial connection, has been defined and some of its properties have been…
We define and study a lift of the Boardman-Vogt tensor product of operads to bimodules over operads.
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we review applications of the bar duality of operads to the construction of explicit cofibrant replacements in categories of algebras over an operad. In view toward applications, we check that…
In our earlier work we studied Koszulity of a family of operads depending on a natural number n and on the degree d of the generating operation. While we proved that, for n < 8, this operad is Koszul if and only if d is even, and while it…
