We introduce the notion of a combinatorial $n$-od cover, for $n \geq 3$, which is a tool that may be used to show that certain continua embedded in the plane are not simple $n$-od-like. Using this tool, we generalize a classic example of…

Operads and PROPs are presented, together with examples and applications to quantum physics suggesting the structure of Feynman categories/PROPs and the corresponding algebras.

We define a category $\mathsf{List}$ whose objects are sets and morphisms are mappings which assign to an element in the domain an ordered sequence (list) of elements in the codomain. We introduce and study a category of simplicial objects…

The purpose of this paper is two-fold. In Part 1 we introduce a new theory of operadic categories and their operads. This theory is, in our opinion, of an independent value. In Part 2 we use this new theory together with our previous…

Modular operads are a special type of operad: in fact, they bear the same relationship to operads that graphs do to trees (i.e. simply connected graphs). One of the basic examples of a modular operad is the collection of…

The $2n$ dimensional manifold with two mutually commutative operators of differentiation is introduced. Nontrivial multidimensional integrable systems connected with arbitrary graded (semisimple) algebras are constructed. The general…

Higher-dimensional category theory is the study of n-categories, operads, braided monoidal categories, and other such exotic structures. It draws its inspiration from areas as diverse as topology, quantum algebra, mathematical physics,…

Circuit algebras are a symmetric analogue of Jones's planar algebras introduced to study finite-type invariants of virtual knotted objects. Circuit algebra structures appear, in different forms, across mathematics. This paper provides a…

The goal of the paper is to establish and to investigate a fully faithful embedding of the category of group operads into that of crossed interval groups. For this, we introduce a monoidal structure on the slice of the category of operads…

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…

The aim of the paper is to give an `elementary' introduction to the theory of modules over operads and discuss three prominent examples of these objects - simplex, associahedron (= the Stasheff polyhedron) and cyclohedron (= the…

Curved algebras are a generalization of differential graded algebras which have found numerous applications recently. The goal of this foundational article is to introduce the notion of a curved operad, and to develop the operadic calculus…

We elaborate on the notion of a filtration of an operad defined in terms of a lattice-valued operad serving as an indexing object. That covers ordinary integer-indexed filtrations of associative algebras and operads as a special case, yet…

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…

Let $\mathbb{E}_d$ denote the little discs operad for $1 \le d \le \infty$ and let $\mathcal{C}$ be an $\infty$-category all of whose mapping spaces are $n$-truncated. We prove that when considering $\mathbb{E}_d$-monoids in $\mathcal{C}$,…

Notions of `operad' and `multicategory' abound. This work provides a single framework in which many of these various notions can be expressed. Explicitly: given a monad * on a category S, we define the term `(S,*)-multicategory', subject to…

We introduce two coloured operads in sets -- the lattice path operad and a cyclic extension of it -- closely related to iterated loop spaces and to universal operations on cochains. As main application we present a formal construction of an…

Modular operads are an extension of operads. In the same way that operads, as dendroidal sets, can be considered as presheaves over the category of trees, so can modular operads be considered as presheaves over a category of graphs. This…

We show that morphisms from n A_infinity-algebras to a single one are maps over an operad module with n+1 commuting actions of the operad A_infinity, whose algebras are conventional A_infinity-algebras. Similar statement holds for homotopy…

In this expository paper we give an elementary, hands-on computation of the homology of the little disks operad, showing that the homology of a $d-fold loop space is a Poisson algebra. One aim is to familiarize a greater audience with…
