On operads, bimodules and analytic functors
2017
We develop further the theory of operads and analytic functors. In particular, we introduce a bicategory that has operads as 0-cells, operad bimodules as 1-cells and operad bimodule maps as 2-cells, and prove that this bicategory is cartesian closed. In order to obtain this result, we extend the theory of distributors and the formal theory of monads.
Bipullbacks of fractions and the snail lemma
2017
Abstract We establish conditions giving the existence of bipullbacks in bicategories of fractions. We apply our results to construct a π 0 - π 1 exact sequence associated with a fractor between groupoids internal to a pointed exact category.
Polynomial functors and polynomial monads
2009
We study polynomial functors over locally cartesian closed categories. After setting up the basic theory, we show how polynomial functors assemble into a double category, in fact a framed bicategory. We show that the free monad on a polynomial endofunctor is polynomial. The relationship with operads and other related notions is explored.
