Remark 2.3.2. We note two things about this definition:
- 1.
The inclusion of the full subcategory spanned by Kan fibrations is an equivalence of -categories and the straightening functor of [Lur09] induces an equivalence of -categories . Since is equivalent to the disjoint union of classifying spaces of the symmetric groups , we get
More explicitly, given a symmetric sequence , taking pullback along the map that corresponds to the object , we obtain a space that is the underlying space of the -space on the right hand-side of the above equivalence.
- 2.
In relating -operads to symmetric sequences it is useful to note that the functor , which adds a base point, induces an isomorphism of groupoids . Moreover, is isomorphic to (see the notation in T.3.1.1.1).
