$E_k$-operads and actions on objects inside $k$-tuply monoidal $n$-category

I understood more or less the claim that $k$-tuply monoidal $n$-categories can be seen as $n$-categories equipped with an action of the $E_k$-operad. For $k=2$, we have a homotopy equivalence $E_2(r) \...

Generalized $\infty$-operads are an analog of ??? in $\infty$-category theory

In Section 2.3.2 of Higher Algebra, Lurie introduces the notion of generalized $\infty$-operads. This is a functor $p:\mathcal{O}^\otimes \to \mathcal{F}\mathrm{in}_\ast$ of $\infty$-categories, where ...

A "lax Boardman-Vogt tensor product," or what object represents duoidal categories?

Let me preface this by saying I'm not sure what the fundamental examples should be, and perhaps that's part of my question. The Boardman-Vogt tensor product of $\infty$-operads $\mathcal{O}$ and $\...

Is the free algebra functor over an $\infty$-operad symmetric monoidal?

Suppose $F: \mathcal{O}^\otimes \to \mathcal{P}^\otimes$ is a map of $\infty$-operads, and $\mathcal{C}$ is a symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category that admits small colimits, such that the tensor ...

Is the operadic nerve functor an equivalence of ∞-categories?

It is now known that the $\infty$-category of $\infty$-operads as defined by Lurie is equivalent to the underlying $\infty$-category of the model category of simplicial operads, see http://arxiv.org/...

$(\infty,n)$-operads?

I wonder whether there is (or should be) a theory of colored $(\infty,n)$-operads or multicategories? We know that multicategories are generalizations of categories, and nonsymmetric colored $\infty$-...

What is an $\infty\text{-}E_{\infty}$ morphism?

My question is essentially what the title says, but here is some background that I have gathered from skimming through the literature. Please feel free to correct me if my understanding is wrong at ...

For which operads $O$ does $\operatorname{coAlg}_O(C) = C$ whenever $C$ is cartesian monoidal?

Let $O$ be an operad, and let $D$ be a symmetric monoidal category. Then there is a forgetful functor $\operatorname{Alg}_O(D) \to D$. This functor is an equivalence in either of the following cases: ...

Transporting $\mathbb E_n$-monoidal structures between categories

Suppose given an $\mathbb E_n$-monoidal presentable $\infty$-category $\mathcal C$ (wrt. the Lurie tensor product $\otimes$), and $\mathcal D$ a presentable $\infty$-category. Suppose given a pair of ...

$\mathbb{E}_M$ as colimit of little cubes operads

In Lurie's "Higher Algebra", Remark 5.4.5.2 towards the end, there is the following statement: "It follows that $\mathbb{E}_M$ can be identified with the colimit of a diagram of $\infty$...

Riemann-Hilbert-type correspondence for locally constant factorization algebras

This is related to a previous post, but a bit softer and should probably stand on its own. In Appendix A of "Higher Algebra", Lurie shows that for a reasonably good topological space, there ...

Augmented algebras over $\infty$-operads via the envelope

Let $\mathcal{O}^\otimes$ be an $\infty$-operad and $\mathcal{C}^\otimes$ a symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category, both in the sense of Lurie's Higher Algebra. By augmented $\mathcal{O}^\otimes$-...

Definition of $E_{n}$-operad in dgCat

In "Derived Algebraic Geometry and Deformation Quantization" Toën defines in 5.1.2 an $E_{n}$-monoidal A-linear dg-category as an $E_{n}$-monoid in the symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $...

What is an invertible operad?

Let $\mathcal V$ be a nice symmetric monoidal ($\infty$-)category, and consider the ($\infty$-)category $Op(\mathcal V)$ of $\mathcal V$-enriched (symmetric) operads, symmetric monoidal under the ...

Higher categorical / operadic approach to homotopy associative, homotopy commutative, $H_\infty$ ring spectra?

Let $\mathcal C$ be a symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category, and let $O$ be an operad (for example, $O$ could be an $A_m$ or $E_n$ operad or a tensor product thereof, and $\mathcal C$ could be spaces ...
