Abstract

We study unital \infty-operads by their arity restrictions. Given k1k \geq 1, we develop a model for unital kk-restricted \infty-operads, which are variants of \infty-operads which has only (k)(\leq k)-arity morphisms, as complete Segal presheaves on closed kk-dendroidal trees, which are closed trees build from corollas with valences k\leq k. Furthermore, we prove that the restriction functors from unital \infty-operads to unital kk-restricted \infty-operads admit fully faithful left and right adjoints by showing that the left and right Kan extensions preserve complete Segal objects. Varying kk, the left and right adjoints give a filtration and a co-filtration for any unital \infty-operads by kk-restricted \infty-operads.
