Abstract

This is the first paper of a series which aims to set up the cornerstones of Koszul duality for operads over operadic categories. To this end we single out additional properties of operadic categories under which the theory of quadratic operads and their Koszulity can be developped, parallel to the traditional one by Ginzburg and Kapranov. We then investigate how these extra properties interact with discrete operadic (op)fibrations, which we use as a powerful tool to construct new operadic categories from old ones. We pay particular attention to the operadic category of graphs, giving a full description of this category (and its variants) as an operadic category, and proving that it satisfies all the additional properties. Our present work provides an answer to a question formulated in Loday's last talk in 2012:``What encodes types of operads?''. In the second and third papers of our series we continue Loday's program by answering his second question: ``How to construct Koszul duals to these objects?'', and proving Koszulity of some of the most relevant operads.

A model structure for cartesian 2-fibrations

Cartesian 2-fibrations provide a way to understand indexed categories, but their classical ``straightening'' construction requires several layers of weak coherence data. This paper develops a homotopical framework that replaces much of this bookkeeping with a fully strict model. By using marked 2-categories to record the cartesian morphisms and 2-cells, we construct a model structure whose fibrant objects are precisely the cartesian 2-fibrations over a fixed 2-category $\mathcal{C}$. We then show that the marked Grothendieck construction identifies these 2-fibrations, up to weak equivalence, with strict 2-functors from $\mathcal{C}$ into $2\mathrm{Cat}$. As an additional contribution, we construct localizations of 2-categories that simultaneously invert selected morphisms and 2-cells.

A Natural Fuzzy Order on Fuzzy Numbers

This paper introduces a natural fuzzy order on fuzzy numbers that extends the natural orders on real numbers and interval numbers. We investigate its completeness properties and show that the space of uniformly bounded fuzzy numbers is conically complete and conically cocomplete, and that it is complete if and only if the underlying continuous t-norm is the G\"odel t-norm. Moreover, it is proved that this space constitutes a \([0,1]\)-enriched domain if and only if the underlying continuous t-norm satisfies the (S) condition. These results provide a foundation for ordering fuzzy numbers.

Noetherian forms of free non-symmetric operads

In this paper, we study certain categories of labeled finite rooted ordered trees over a fixed set of labels where each label is equipped with an arity: a fixed number of children that the vertex with the given label must have. Equivalently, these are expression trees for operations in a free non-symmetric operad. A morphism between these trees matches a pruning of one tree (a prefix) with an entire subtree of another (a suffix). We characterize such categories, up to isomorphism, in terms of suitable exactness properties. It turns out that these categories exhibit strong algebraic behavior, in the sense that every such category, when appended with a strict initial object, has a particularly nice noetherian form.
