Proof.Recall the combinatorial simplicial model category of -preoperads, whose underlying -category is (see A.2.1.4).
Let
be the following subcategories:
(1)
The category is discrete and contains
only the objects and .
(2)
The category contains
together with a unique non-identity morphism, which is the active map
.
We endow and
with the induced (trivial) marking. Unwinding the definition, for
any -operad , the simplicial set
is isomorphic to .
Moreover, given
the fiber of the fibration (hence also the homotopy fiber)
over is homotopy equivalent to the multi-mapping
space .
Let and be -operads
that are fibrant replacements of and
, respectively. Moreover, let
be a map corresponding to the inclusion .
The functor ,
co-represented by , preserves
limits. Furthermore, its value on fits by T.5.5.5.12 into a fiber sequence
which therefore identifies with
for the objects determined by .
Let be the functor induced from the map corresponding to the inclusion . By T.1.2.13.8, the functor preserves limits. We define to be the composition of and , which is limit-preserving as a composition of limit preserving-functors. Unwinding the definitions, indeed lifts .
