用户: Scavenger/Infinity Category and Higher Algebra/Tensor Product of Infinity Operads

Let and be -operads. We will introduce a new -operad , called the tensor product of and . The major advantage of we want is the existence of an equivalence for every symmetric monoidal infinity category , which we will explain.

Definition 0.1 ([1] Notation 2.2.5.1). Define a functor as follows:

(i) On objects, is given by the formula .

(ii) Let and be morphisms in . We define to be given by the formula: for and ,

(1)

Definition 0.2. Let and be -operads. A bifunctor of -operads is a map of -categories satisfying the following conditions.

(i) The diagramcommutes

(ii) For every inert morphisms of and of , is an inert morphism in .

We let denote the full subcategory of spanned by the bifunctors.

It is easy to see that given a bifunctor of -operads and another -operad , there is a natural map . We say that exhibits as a tensor product of and if the above map is an equivalence for any -operad .

Example 0.3. Let be an -operad. Then there is a unique bifunctor of -operads .

It is clear that the tensor product of two -operads, if exists, is uniquely determined up to equivalence of -operads (that is, equivalence of -categories over which and whose inverse are maps of -operads).

Proposition 0.4 ([1] Proposition 2.2.5.6). Tensor product of two -operads exists.

Example 0.5 ([1] Theorem 5.1.2.2). Let be nonnegative integers. [1] Construction 5.1.2.1 gives a map which exhibits as a tensor product of and .

We now proceed to present the desired equivalence of algebra objects. We first explain the tensor product structure on algebra objects.

Construction 0.6 ([1] Construction 3.2.4.1). Let be a bifunctor of -operads. We construct a simplicial set over by the following universal property: Let be a map of simplicial sets, then there is a bijection between and the set of commutative diagrams

such that has the following property: for every vertex and every inert morphism in , the morphism is inert.

Or in concrete terms, taking in the above construction, we get the -simplices of over some specific -simplex of , and this construction is functorial in a sense that it indeed gives a simplicial set over .

0.7 ([1] Remark 3.2.4.2). In the context of Construction 0.6, let be an object. The restriction of to determines a map of -operads , and we have a canonical isomorphism (of simplicial sets) of the fiber and the -category .

We collect the crucial properties of Construction 0.6.

Proposition 0.8 ([1] Proposition 3.2.4.3). In the contex of Consturction 0.6, we have:

(i) The map is a fibration of -operads.

(ii) A morphism in is inert if and only if is inert and for every object , the composition is an inert morphism in . Here is the map given by the universal property of .

(iii) Suppose that is a coCartesian fibration of -operads. Then is a coCartesian fibration of -operads.

(iv) Suppose that is a coCartesian fibration of -operads. Then a morphism in is -coCartesian if and only if, for every object , the composition is a -coCartesian morphism in .

Example 0.9 ([1] Example 3.2.4.4). Let be an -operad and let be the bifunctor of -operads of Example 0.3. Let be a symmetric monoidal -category, then is a symmetric monoidal -category by Proposition 0.8, which we will denote by . The underlying -category of this symmetric monoidal -category is the -category of algebra objects.

For every object we have an evaluation functor defined as the composition . This is a symmetric monoidal functor by virtue of Proposition 0.8.

0.10. Let be a symmetric monoidal -category. Let be a bifunctor of -operads which exhibits as a tensor product of and . Let be the symmetric monoidal -category as in Example 0.9. By the definition of , we have a map , where means the full subcategory of spanned by those functors satisfying the second condition of Construction 0.6, and this is an inclusion of a full subcategory. It is not hard to show that the image of this map consists of those functors that are bifunctors of -operads. It follows that we have an equivalence of -categories .
