Abstract: We construct a localization for operads with respect to one-ary operations based on the Dwyer-Kan hammock localization. For an operad O and a sub-monoid of one-ary operations W we associate an operad LO and a canonical map O to LO which takes elements in W to homotopy invertible operations. Furthermore, we give a functor from the category of O-algebras to the category of LO-algebras satisfying an appropriate universal property.


Let \(\mathscr{O}\) be an operad in simplicial sets. The authors study \(\mathscr{O}\)-algebras where some of the operations \(\mathcal{W} \subset \mathscr{O}(1)\) are required to be homotopy invertible. Inspired by the hammock localization of Dwyer-Kan, they construct a localization \(L\mathscr{O} = L^{TW}_{\mathcal{W}}\mathscr{O}\), the ``tree-hammock localization, which is an operad under \(\mathscr{O}\) and such that operations from \(\mathcal{W}\) become homotopy invertible in \(L\mathscr{O}\). It is moreover equipped with a ``localization functor from \(\mathscr{O}\)-algebras to \(L\mathscr{O}\)-algebras, satisfying an appropriate universal property.
