چکیده

We give an explicit construction of the category opetope of opetopes. We prove that the category of opetopic sets is equivalent to the category of presheaves over opetope

We give a definition of weak n-categories based on the theory of operads. We work with operads having an arbitrary set S of types, or ‘S-operads’, and given such an operad O, we denote its set of operations by elt(O). Then for any S-operad O there is an elt(O)-operad O+ whose algebras are S-operads over O. Letting I be the initial operad with a one-element set of types, and defining I0+ = I, I(...

Weak n-categories: opetopic and multitopic foundations

We generalise the concepts introduced by Baez and Dolan to define opetopes constructed from symmetric operads with a category, rather than a set, of objects. We describe the category of 1-level generalised multicategories, a special case of the concept introduced by Hermida, Makkai and Power, and exhibit a full embedding of this category in the category of symmetric operads with a category of o...

Weak n-categories: comparing opetopic foundations

We define the category of tidy symmetric multicategories. We construct for each tidy symmetric multicategory Q a cartesian monad (EQ, TQ) and extend this assignation to a functor. We exhibit a relationship between the slice construction on symmetric multicategories, and the ‘free operad’ monad construction on suitable monads. We use this to give an explicit description of the relationship betwe...

Structures in Higher-Dimensional Category Theory

This is an exposition of some of the constructions which have arisen in higherdimensional category theory. We start with a review of the general theory of operads and multicategories (cf. [Bur], [Her], [Lei1]). Using this we give a new definition of n-category (a variation on Batanin’s); we also give an informal definition in pictures. Next we discuss Gray-categories and their place in coherenc...

The symmetric monoidal closed category of cpo $M$-sets

In this paper, we show that the category of directed complete posets with bottom elements (cpos) endowed with an action of a monoid $M$ on them forms a monoidal category. It is also proved that this category is symmetric closed.
