Day convolution for algebraic patterns
摘要
We characterize the exponentiable objects for a wide range of structures prevalent in -categorical algebra, extending the construction of Day convolution to more general structures than -operads. More precisely, we give a criterion that is both necessary and sufficient for many of these structures encountered in practice, such as (equivariant) -operads and virtual double -categories. We work within the framework of algebraic patterns of Chu-Haugseng that describe these structures in terms of weak Segal fibrations. As part of the proof, we give a new description of weak Segal fibrations in terms of generalized Segal spaces on certain "tree" categories. We also define the "underlying graph" of a weak Segal fibration, extending the notion of the underlying -category for -operads, and explicitly describe the underlying graph of exponential objects in weak Segal fibrations.
