Operadic categories and décalage

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2217522



Abstract: Batanin and Markl's operadic categories are categories in which each map is endowed with a finite collection of "abstract fibres" -- also objects of the same category -- subject to suitable axioms. We give a reconstruction of the data and axioms of operadic categories in terms of the d'ecalage comonad D on small categories. A simple case involves unary operadic categories -- ones wherein each map has exactly one abstract fibre -- which are exhibited as categories which are, first of all, coalgebras for the comonad D, and, furthermore, algebras for the monad induced on the category of D-coalgebras by the forgetful-cofree adjunction. A similar description is found for general operadic categories arising out of a corresponding analysis that starts from a "modified d'ecalage" comonad on the arrow category of Cat.
