Combinatorial homotopy theory for operads

Abstract: We introduce an explicit combinatorial characterization of the minimal model

{c a l O}_{i n f t y}

of the coloured operad

c a l O

encoding non-symmetric operads. In our description of

{c a l O}_{i n f t y}

, the spaces of operations are defined in terms of hypergraph polytopes and the composition structure generalizes the one of the

A_{i n f t y}

-operad. As further generalizations of this construction, we present a combinatorial description of the

W

-construction applied on

c a l O

, as well as of the minimal model of the coloured operad

c a l C

encoding non-symmetric cyclic operads.
