Abstract: For any $E_{i}nfty$ ring spectrum $E$, we show that there is an algebra $mathrmPow(E)$ of stable power operations that acts naturally on the underlying spectrum of any $E$-algebra. Further, we show that there are maps of rings $EomathrmPow(E)omathrmEnd(E)$, where the latter determines a restriction from power operations to stable operations in the cohomology of spaces. In the case where $E$ is the mod-$p$ Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum, this realizes a natural quotient from Mandell's algebra of generalized Steenrod operations to the mod-$p$ Steenrod algebra. More generally, this arises as part of a classification of endomorphisms of representable functors from an $infty$-category $mathcalC$ to spectra, with particular attention to the case where $mathcalC$ is an $mathcalO$-monoidal $infty$-category.
