2 Reduced ∞\infty-Operads[0M36]

In this section we develop some general theory of unital and reduced ∞\infty-operads. In 2.1 we establish some formal results for adjunctions and under categories. In 2.2 we specialize the results of 2.1 to prove that the inclusion of reduced ∞\infty-operads into pointed unital ∞\infty-operads admits a right adjoint, and analyze it. More precisely, given a unital ∞\infty-operad 𝒪\mathcal{O} and an object X∈𝒪¯X\in\underline{\mathcal{O}} we define a reduced ∞\infty-operad End𝒪red⁡(X)\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{O}}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\left(X\right), which we call the reduced endomorphism operad of XX, and show that it satisfies a universal property. Moreover, we give an explicit description of End𝒞red⁡(X)\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{C}}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\left(X\right), which will be fundamental in analyzing the truncatedness of its spaces of operations.

In 2.3 we discuss the underlying symmetric sequence of a reduced ∞\infty-operad and in 2.4 we use it to write an explicit formula for the free algebra over an ∞\infty-operad (this is essentially a reformulation of A.3.1.3). The material of the last two subsections is well known in the 1-categorical setting and will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the subject. We note that in [Hau17], Haugseng develops a theory of ∞\infty-operads using this approach and compares it with other models including Lurie’s ∞\infty-operads, though as far as we know, the precise results for algebras have not been furnished yet. Thus, we take it upon ourselves to flesh out the details of the little part of this theory that is required for our purposes.

2.1 Adjunctions and Under-categories[0M37]

We begin with some formal general observations on adjunctions and under-categories.

[05WQ]

Lemma 2.1.1. Let R:𝒟⇆𝒞:LR\colon\mathcal{D}\leftrightarrows\mathcal{C}\penalty\mskip 6.0mu plus 1.0mu\mathpunct{}\nonscript\mkern-3.0mu{:}\mskip 2.0muL be an adjunction between ∞\infty-categories. For every object X∈𝒞X\in\mathcal{C} there is a canonical equivalence of ∞\infty-categories 𝒟L(X)/≃𝒟×𝒞𝒞X/\mathcal{D}_{L\left(X\right)/}\simeq\mathcal{D}\times_{\mathcal{C}}\mathcal{C}_{X/}.

[05WR]

Proof. We denote the ∞\infty-category 𝒟×𝒞𝒞X/\mathcal{D}\times_{\mathcal{C}}\mathcal{C}_{X/} by 𝒟X/\mathcal{D}_{X/}. Let η:X→R​L​(X)\eta\colon X\to RL\left(X\right) be the XX-component of the unit of the adjunction L⊣RL\dashv R. By T.2.1.2.1, the projections p0:𝒞η/→𝒞X/p_{0}\colon\mathcal{C}_{\eta/}\to\mathcal{C}_{X/} and p1:𝒞η/→𝒞RL(X)/p_{1}\colon\mathcal{C}_{\eta/}\to\mathcal{C}_{RL\left(X\right)/} are left fibrations. Moreover, since Δ{1}↪Δ1\Delta^{\left\{1\right\}}\hookrightarrow\Delta^{1} is right anodyne, the map p1p_{1} is an equivalence of ∞\infty-categories. By T.2.2.3.3, we can choose an inverse p1−1:𝒞RL(X)/→𝒞η/p_{1}^{-1}\colon\mathcal{C}_{RL\left(X\right)/}\to\mathcal{C}_{\eta/} to p1p_{1} that strictly commutes with the projections to 𝒞\mathcal{C}. We obtain a commutative diagram of simplicial sets

𝒟L(X)/\textstyle{\mathcal{D}_{L\left(X\right)/}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒞RL(X)/\textstyle{\mathcal{C}_{RL\left(X\right)/}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}p0​p1−1\scriptstyle{p_{0}p_{1}^{-1}}𝒞X/\textstyle{\mathcal{C}_{X/}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒟\textstyle{\mathcal{D}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒞\textstyle{\mathcal{C}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒞.\textstyle{\mathcal{C}.}

There is an induced map from the upper left corner to the pullback of the outer rectangle without the upper left corner, which is another commutative diagram of simplicial sets

𝒟L(X)/\textstyle{\mathcal{D}_{L\left(X\right)/}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒟X/\textstyle{\mathcal{D}_{X/}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒟.\textstyle{\mathcal{D}.}

Since left fibrations are closed under base change (T.2.1.2.1), the vertical maps are left fibrations over 𝒟\mathcal{D}. Hence, to show that the top map is an equivalence it is enough to show that the induced map on fibers is a homotopy equivalence (T.2.2.3.3). For every Y∈𝒟Y\in\mathcal{D} we get a map

Map𝒟R⁡(L⁡(X),Y)→Map𝒞R⁡(X,R⁡(Y)),\operatorname{Map}_{\mathcal{D}}^{R}\left(L\left(X\right),Y\right)\to\operatorname{Map}_{\mathcal{C}}^{R}\left(X,R\left(Y\right)\right),

which is by construction obtained by applying the functor RR and pre-composing with the unit η:X→R​L​(X)\eta\colon X\to RL\left(X\right). By the universal property of the unit map this is a homotopy equivalence for all Y∈𝒟Y\in\mathcal{D} and therefore the map 𝒟L(X)/→𝒟X/\mathcal{D}_{L\left(X\right)/}\to\mathcal{D}_{X/} is an equivalence of ∞\infty-categories. ∎

[05WS]

Lemma 2.1.2. Let L:𝒞⇆𝒟:RL\colon\mathcal{C}\leftrightarrows\mathcal{D}\penalty\mskip 6.0mu plus 1.0mu\mathpunct{}\nonscript\mkern-3.0mu{:}\mskip 2.0muR be an adjunction of ∞\infty-categories and let X∈𝒞X\in\mathcal{C}. The induced functor

LX:𝒞X/→𝒟L(X)/L_{X}\colon\mathcal{C}_{X/}\to\mathcal{D}_{L\left(X\right)/}

has a right adjoint RXR_{X}. Moreover, if RR is fully faithful, then RXR_{X} is also fully faithful.

[05WT]

Proof. Let p:ℳ→Δ1p\colon\mathcal{M}\to\Delta^{1} be the coCartesian fibration associated with the functor LL (which is also Cartesian, since LL has a right adjoint). We can assume that we have a commutative diagram

Δ1×𝒞\textstyle{\Delta^{1}\times\mathcal{C}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}s\scriptstyle{s}ℳ\textstyle{\mathcal{M}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}p\scriptstyle{p}Δ1,\textstyle{\Delta^{1},}

such that s|Δ{0}×𝒞=Ids|_{\Delta^{\left\{0\right\}}\times\mathcal{C}}=\operatorname{Id}, s|Δ{1}×𝒞=Ls|_{\Delta^{\left\{1\right\}}\times\mathcal{C}}=L and s|Δ1×{X}s|_{\Delta^{1}\times\left\{X\right\}} is a coCartesian edge of ℳ\mathcal{M} for every X∈𝒞X\in\mathcal{C} (combine T.5.2.1.1 and T.5.2.1.3). It is clear from T.1.2.9.2 that for any pair of ∞\infty-categories with objects X∈𝒞X\in\mathcal{C} and Y∈𝒟Y\in\mathcal{D} there is a canonical isomorphism

(𝒞×𝒟)(X,Y)/≃𝒞X/×𝒟Y/.\left(\mathcal{C}\times\mathcal{D}\right)_{\left(X,Y\right)/}\simeq\mathcal{C}_{X/}\times\mathcal{D}_{Y/}.

Hence, we get an induced commutative diagram

Δ1×𝒞X/≃(Δ1×𝒞)(0,X)/\textstyle{\Delta^{1}\times\mathcal{C}_{X/}\simeq\left(\Delta^{1}\times\mathcal{C}\right)_{\left(0,X\right)/}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}s\scriptstyle{s}ℳX/\textstyle{\mathcal{M}_{X/}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}pX\scriptstyle{p_{X}}Δ1≃Δ0/1.\textstyle{\Delta^{1}\simeq\Delta_{0/}^{1}.}

The functor pXp_{X} is a Cartesian and coCartesian fibration by the duals of T.2.4.3.1(1) and T.2.4.3.2(1). Moreover, an edge in ℳX/\mathcal{M}_{X/} is (co)Cartesian if and only if its projection to ℳ\mathcal{M} is (co)Cartesian by the duals of T.2.4.3.1(2) and T.2.4.3.2(2), which shows that the functor LXL_{X} is associated with pXp_{X}. It follows that LXL_{X} has a right adjoint RXR_{X}.

Assuming that RR is fully faithful, we will show that RXR_{X} is fully faithful by showing that the counit of the adjunction LX⊣RXL_{X}\dashv R_{X} is an equivalence. For every object, the counit map is an edge of ℳX/\mathcal{M}_{X/}. Since the projection ℳX/→ℳ\mathcal{M}_{X/}\to\mathcal{M} is conservative, it is enough to show that the counit map of LX⊣RXL_{X}\dashv R_{X} is mapped to the counit map of L⊣RL\dashv R. Indeed, for an object Y∈𝒟≃ℳ|Δ{1}Y\in\mathcal{D}\simeq\mathcal{M}|_{\Delta^{\left\{1\right\}}}, we choose a Cartesian edge e:R⁡(Y)→Ye\colon R\left(Y\right)\to Y and a coCartesian edge d:R⁡(Y)→L⁡(R⁡(Y))d\colon R\left(Y\right)\to L\left(R\left(Y\right)\right), and combine them into a commutative diagram of the form:

Λ02\textstyle{\Lambda_{0}^{2}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}f\scriptstyle{f}ℳ\textstyle{\mathcal{M}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}p\scriptstyle{p}Δ2\textstyle{\Delta^{2}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Δ1,\textstyle{\Delta^{1},}

where f|Δ{0,1}=df|_{\Delta^{\left\{0,1\right\}}}=d and f|Δ{0,2}=ef|_{\Delta^{\left\{0,2\right\}}}=e. Since dd is coCartesian, there exists a lift f¯:Δ2→ℳ\overline{f}\colon\Delta^{2}\to\mathcal{M} that gives an edge

f¯|Δ{1,2}=c:L⁡(R⁡(Y))→Y\overline{f}|_{\Delta^{\left\{1,2\right\}}}=c\colon L\left(R\left(Y\right)\right)\to Y

that is isomorphic to the counit map of the adjunction L⊣RL\dashv R at YY in the homotopy category h​𝒟h\mathcal{D}. We can similarly construct the counit map for an object of ℳX/\mathcal{M}_{X/}. The assertion now follows from the above characterization of (co)Cartesian edges in ℳX/\mathcal{M}_{X/}. ∎

[05WU]

Lemma 2.1.3. Let F:𝒞→𝒟F\colon\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D} be a functor that preserves pullbacks; then FX:𝒞X/→𝒟F(X)/F_{X}\colon\mathcal{C}_{X/}\to\mathcal{D}_{F\left(X\right)/} also preserves pullbacks.

[05WV]

Proof. Consider the commutative square

𝒞X/\textstyle{\mathcal{C}_{X/}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒟F(X)/\textstyle{\mathcal{D}_{F\left(X\right)/}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒞\textstyle{\mathcal{C}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒟.\textstyle{\mathcal{D}.}

The vertical functors and the bottom horizontal functor preserve pullbacks. The right vertical functor is conservative. It follows that the top horizontal functor preserves pullbacks as well. ∎

[0M2M]

Definition 2.1.4. Let F:𝒞→𝒟F\colon\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D} be a functor between ∞\infty-categories. We say that an object YY is reduced if F⁡(Y)F\left(Y\right) is initial in 𝒟\mathcal{D}. We define 𝒞red\mathcal{C}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}} to be the full subcategory of 𝒞\mathcal{C} spanned by the reduced objects (FF will always be clear from the context when we employ this terminology).

[05WW]

Proposition 2.1.5. Let L:𝒞⇆𝒟:RL\colon\mathcal{C}\leftrightarrows\mathcal{D}\penalty\mskip 6.0mu plus 1.0mu\mathpunct{}\nonscript\mkern-3.0mu{:}\mskip 2.0muR be an adjunction between ∞\infty-categories. Assume that 𝒞\mathcal{C} admits and LL preserves pullbacks, that 𝒟\mathcal{D} admits an initial object, and that RR is fully faithful. For every object Y∈𝒞Y\in\mathcal{C} we consider the following pullback diagram

Yred\textstyle{Y^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Y\textstyle{Y\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}R⁡(∅𝒟)\textstyle{R\left(\varnothing_{\mathcal{D}}\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}R​L​(Y),\textstyle{RL\left(Y\right),}

where the right vertical map is the unit map of YY and the bottom horizontal map is the image under RR of the essentially unique map ∅𝒟→L⁡(Y)\varnothing_{\mathcal{D}}\to L\left(Y\right). The top horizontal map ρ:Yred→Y\rho\colon Y^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\to Y exhibits YredY^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}} as a co-localization of YY with respect to 𝒞red\mathcal{C}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}} (dual to T.5.2.7.6).

[05WX]

Proof. First, we show that YredY^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}} is in fact reduced. Applying LL to the defining diagram of YredY^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}} and using the fact that LL preserves pullbacks, we see that the map L⁡(Yred)→L​R​(∅)L\left(Y^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\right)\to LR\left(\varnothing\right) is the pullback of the map L⁡(Y)→L​R​L​(Y)L\left(Y\right)\to LRL\left(Y\right), which is an equivalence (from the fact that the counit L​R​(Y)→YLR\left(Y\right)\to Y is an equivalence, the zig-zag identities and the 2-out-of-3 property). It follows that the map L⁡(Yred)→L​R​(∅)L\left(Y^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\right)\to LR\left(\varnothing\right) is an equivalence, but L​R​(∅)→∅LR\left(\varnothing\right)\to\varnothing is an equivalence as well (since RR is fully faithful) and we are done.

Now, we show that ρ\rho is a co-localization. Let ZZ be a reduced object. We have a homotopy pullback diagram of spaces

Map⁡(Z,Yred)\textstyle{\operatorname{Map}\left(Z,Y^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Map⁡(Z,Y)\textstyle{\operatorname{Map}\left(Z,Y\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Map⁡(Z,R⁡(∅))\textstyle{\operatorname{Map}\left(Z,R\left(\varnothing\right)\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Map⁡(Z,R​L​(Y))\textstyle{\operatorname{Map}\left(Z,RL\left(Y\right)\right)}

and we note that the space of maps from a reduced object to any object in the essential image of RR is contractible. ∎

[05WY]

Corollary 2.1.6. In the setting of 2.1.5, the inclusion 𝒞red↪𝒞\mathcal{C}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\hookrightarrow\mathcal{C} admits a right adjoint and the co-localization map Yred→YY^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\to Y can be taken to be the counit of the adjunction at YY.

2.2 Pointed Unital and Reduced ∞\infty-operads[0M38]

Recall from [Lur] the following definitions:

[0M2N]

Definition 2.2.1. (A.2.3.1.1, A.2.3.4.1) An ∞\infty-operad 𝒪\mathcal{O} is called:

  1. (1)

    Unital if for every object XX of 𝒪¯\underline{\mathcal{O}}, the space of constants Mul𝒪​(∅,X)\text{Mul}_{\mathcal{O}}\left(\varnothing,X\right) is contractible. We denote the full ∞\infty-category spanned by the unital ∞\infty-operads by 𝐎𝐩∞un\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}.

  2. (2)

    Reduced if it is unital and the underlying ∞\infty-category is a contractible space. We denote the full ∞\infty-category spanned by the reduced ∞\infty-operads by 𝐎𝐩∞red\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}.

[05X0]

Example 2.2.2. A symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category is unital if and only if the unit object is initial.

We proceed by listing the various adjunctions between the different ∞\infty-categories of ∞\infty-operads and ∞\infty-categories. First, recall from A.2.1.4.10 that there is an underlying ∞\infty-category functor (−)¯:𝐎𝐩∞→𝐂𝐚𝐭∞\underline{\left(-\right)}\colon\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}\to\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty} and that this functor has a left adjoint ι:𝐂𝐚𝐭∞↪𝐎𝐩∞\iota\colon\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty}\hookrightarrow\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}, which is a fully faithful embedding. Informally, ι\iota regards an ∞\infty-category as an ∞\infty-operad with empty higher (and nullary) multi-mapping spaces. On the other hand,

[05X1]

Lemma 2.2.3. The restriction of the forgetful functor (−)¯:𝐎𝐩∞un→𝐂𝐚𝐭∞\underline{\left(-\right)}\colon\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\to\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty} admits a right adjoint that takes every ∞\infty-category 𝒞\mathcal{C} to the coCartesian ∞\infty-operad 𝒞⊔\mathcal{C}_{\sqcup} and the unit map of the adjunction 𝒞⊔¯→𝒞\underline{\mathcal{C}_{\sqcup}}\to\mathcal{C} is an equivalence (ie (−)⊔\left(-\right)_{\sqcup} is fully faithful).

[05X2]

Proof. The first claim follows from A.2.4.3.9 by passing to maximal ∞\infty-subgroupoids. The second claim follows from A.2.4.3.11. ∎

By A.2.3.1.9, the fully faithful embedding 𝐎𝐩∞un↪𝐎𝐩∞\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\hookrightarrow\mathbf{Op}_{\infty} has a left adjoint given by tensoring with 𝔼0\mathbb{E}_{0} (which is a localization functor). From this follows,

[05X3]

Lemma 2.2.4. 𝔼0\mathbb{E}_{0} is the initial object of 𝐎𝐩∞red\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}.

[05X4]

Proof. The composition of forgetful functors

𝐎𝐩∞un→𝐎𝐩∞→𝐂𝐚𝐭∞\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\to\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}\to\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty}

has a left adjoint given as the composition of the corresponding left adjoints. The first one takes Δ0\Delta^{0} to 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯\mathbf{Triv} (by A.2.1.4.8) and the second takes 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯\mathbf{Triv} to 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯⊗𝔼0≃𝔼0\mathbf{Triv}\otimes\mathbb{E}_{0}\simeq\mathbb{E}_{0} (by A.2.3.1.9). Hence, for every reduced operad 𝒫\mathcal{P} (which is in particular unital), we get

Map⁡(𝔼0,𝒫)≃Map⁡(Δ0,𝒫¯)≃𝒫¯≃≃Δ0.\operatorname{Map}\left(\mathbb{E}_{0},\mathcal{P}\right)\simeq\operatorname{Map}\left(\Delta^{0},\underline{\mathcal{P}}\right)\simeq\underline{\mathcal{P}}^{\simeq}\simeq\Delta^{0}.

∎

One source of unital symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-categories is

[05X5]

Lemma 2.2.5. Let 𝒬\mathcal{Q} be a unital ∞\infty-operad and let 𝒞\mathcal{C} be a symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category. The symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category Alg𝒬⁡(𝒞)\operatorname{Alg}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right) is also unital.

[05X6]

Proof. By A.3.2.4.4, the ∞\infty-operad Alg𝒬⁡(𝒞)⊗→𝐅𝐢𝐧∗\operatorname{Alg}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)^{\otimes}\to\mathbf{Fin}_{*} is also a symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category and so we only need to show that the unit object of Alg𝒬⁡(𝒞)\operatorname{Alg}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right) is initial. Since 𝒬\mathcal{Q} is unital, the canonical map 𝒬→𝔼0⊗𝒬\mathcal{Q}\to\mathbb{E}_{0}\otimes\mathcal{Q} is an equivalence of ∞\infty-operads (by A.2.3.1.9) and therefore the forgetful functor

Alg¯𝔼0⊗𝒬​(𝒞)≃Alg¯𝔼0​(Alg𝒬⁡(𝒞))→Alg¯𝒬​(𝒞)\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathbb{E}_{0}\otimes\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)\simeq\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathbb{E}_{0}}\left(\operatorname{Alg}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)\right)\to\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)

is an equivalence of ∞\infty-categories. On the other hand, by A.2.1.3.10 we have

Alg¯𝔼0(Alg𝒬(𝒞))≃Alg¯𝒬(𝒞)1/,\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathbb{E}_{0}}\left(\operatorname{Alg}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)\right)\simeq\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)_{1/},

where 1∈Alg¯𝒬​(𝒞)1\in\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right) is the unit object and the projection Alg¯𝒬(𝒞)1/→Alg¯𝒬(𝒞)\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)_{1/}\to\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right) is an equivalence of ∞\infty-categories if and only if 11 is initial (T.1.2.12.5). ∎

[0M2P]

Definition 2.2.6. The ∞\infty-category of pointed ∞\infty-categories is denoted by 𝐂𝐚𝐭∞,∗=(𝐂𝐚𝐭∞)Δ0/\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty,*}=\left(\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty}\right)_{\Delta^{0}/}. The ∞\infty-category of pointed ∞\infty-operads is denoted by 𝐎𝐩∞,∗=𝐎𝐩∞×𝐂𝐚𝐭∞𝐂𝐚𝐭∞,∗\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}=\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}\times_{\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty}}\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty,*}. We also denote by 𝐎𝐩∞,∗un\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}} and 𝐎𝐩∞,∗red\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}} the corresponding ∞\infty-categories of pointed unital (resp. reduced) ∞\infty-operads.

[05X7]

Remark 2.2.7. Using 2.1.1, we have an equivalence of ∞\infty-categories 𝐎𝐩∞,∗≃(𝐎𝐩∞)𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯/\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}\simeq\left(\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}\right)_{\mathbf{Triv}/}. Since 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯→𝔼0\mathbf{Triv}\to\mathbb{E}_{0} is an equivalence after tensoring with 𝔼0\mathbb{E}_{0}, we get 𝐎𝐩∞,∗un≃(𝐎𝐩∞un)𝔼0/\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\simeq\left(\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\right)_{\mathbb{E}_{0}/} and therefore also 𝐎𝐩∞,∗red≃(𝐎𝐩∞red)𝔼0/\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\simeq(\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}})_{\mathbb{E}_{0}/}. We allow ourselves to pass freely between the two points of view on (unital, reduced) pointed ∞\infty-operads.

[05X8]

Remark 2.2.8. Observe that by 2.2.4, the projection 𝐎𝐩∞,∗red→𝐎𝐩∞red\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\to\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}} is an equivalence. Hence, the inclusion 𝐎𝐩∞red↪𝐎𝐩∞un\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\hookrightarrow\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}} induces a functor

𝐎𝐩∞red≃𝐎𝐩∞,∗red↪𝐎𝐩∞,∗un.\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\simeq\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\hookrightarrow\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}.

Moreover, it exhibits 𝐎𝐩∞red\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}} as the full subcategory of 𝐎𝐩∞,∗un\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}} spanned by the reduced objects with respect to the underlying ∞\infty-category functor (−)¯:𝐎𝐩∞,∗un→𝐂𝐚𝐭∞\underline{\left(-\right)}\colon\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\to\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty} in the sense of 2.1.4. Thus, the two notions of “reduced ∞\infty-operad” coincide.

We now apply the general observations from the previous subsection to deduce the following:

[05X9]

Proposition 2.2.9. The inclusion

𝐎𝐩∞red≃𝐎𝐩∞,∗red↪𝐎𝐩∞,∗un\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\simeq\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\hookrightarrow\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}

has a right adjoint (−)red\left(-\right)^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}. Moreover, for a pointed unital ∞\infty-operad 𝒬\mathcal{Q} the value of the right adjoint is given by the pullback

𝒬red\textstyle{\mathcal{Q}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒬\textstyle{\mathcal{Q}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝔼∞\textstyle{\mathbb{E}_{\infty}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒬¯⊔\textstyle{\underline{\mathcal{Q}}_{\sqcup}}

in the ∞\infty-category 𝐎𝐩∞,∗un\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}. Furthermore, the top map can be taken to be the counit of the adjunction at 𝒬\mathcal{Q}.

[05XA]

Proof. We need to verify the hypothesis of 2.1.5. The underlying ∞\infty-category functor L:𝐎𝐩∞un→𝐂𝐚𝐭∞L\colon\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\to\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty} is a composition of two functors 𝐎𝐩∞un→𝐎𝐩∞→𝐂𝐚𝐭∞\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\to\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}\to\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty}. The first is a right adjoint by A.2.3.1.9 and the second is a right adjoint by A.2.1.4.10. Hence, the composition is a right adjoint as well and therefore preserves limits. Moreover, by 2.2.3, LL is also a left adjoint and its right adjoint is fully faithful. Hence, the functor 𝐎𝐩∞,∗un→𝐂𝐚𝐭∞,∗\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\to\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty,*} also has a fully faithful right adjoint and we have (𝐎𝐩∞,∗un)red≃𝐎𝐩∞,∗red\left(\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\right)^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\simeq\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}. Finally, by 2.1.5, the inclusion 𝐎𝐩∞red≃𝐎𝐩∞,∗red↪𝐎𝐩∞,∗un\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\simeq\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\hookrightarrow\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}} admits a right adjoint with the stated description. ∎

[0M2Q]

Definition 2.2.10. A unital ∞\infty-operad 𝒬\mathcal{Q} and an object X∈𝒬¯X\in\underline{\mathcal{Q}} determine a pointed unital ∞\infty-operad 𝒬X∈𝐎𝐩∞,∗un\mathcal{Q}_{X}\in\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}. We denote End𝒬red⁡(X):=(𝒬X)red\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{Q}}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\left(X\right):=\left(\mathcal{Q}_{X}\right)^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}} and call it the reduced endomorphism ∞\infty-operad of XX in 𝒬\mathcal{Q}.

We can describe the reduced ∞\infty-operad End𝒬red⁡(X)\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{Q}}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\left(X\right) informally as follows. For every m∈ℕm\in\mathbb{N}, denote by X(m)X^{\left(m\right)} the mm-tuple (X,…,X)\left(X,\dots,X\right). The space of mm-ary operations is the “subspace” of Mul𝒬​(X(m),X)\text{Mul}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(X^{\left(m\right)},X\right) of those maps that are reduced in the sense that plugging the unique constant in all arguments but one results in an identity morphism X→XX\to X. We end this subsection by making the above description precise in a special case of a symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category. For this, we first need to analyze the way multi-mapping spaces interact with limits of ∞\infty-operads.

For every integer mm, there is a functor h​G(m):h​𝐎𝐩∞,∗→h​𝒮hG^{(m)}\colon h\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}\to h\mathcal{S}, that takes each ∞\infty-operad 𝒫\mathcal{P} pointed by an object XX to the space Mul𝒫⁡(X(m),X)\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X^{(m)},X\right) and a map of pointed ∞\infty-operads f:𝒫→𝒬f\colon\mathcal{P}\to\mathcal{Q} to the homotopy class of the induced map on multi-mapping spaces Mul𝒫⁡(X(m),X)→Mul𝒬⁡(f​(X)(m),f⁡(X))\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{P}}(X^{(m)},X)\to\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{Q}}(f(X)^{(m)},f(X)).

[05XB]

Lemma 2.2.11. For every integer mm, there is a limit-preserving functor G(m):𝐎𝐩∞,∗→𝒮G^{(m)}\colon\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}\to\mathcal{S}, that lifts the functor h​G(m):h​𝐎𝐩∞,∗→h​𝒮hG^{(m)}\colon h\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}\to h\mathcal{S}.

[05XC]

Proof. Recall the combinatorial simplicial model category 𝐏𝐎𝐩∞\mathbf{POp}_{\infty} of ∞\infty-preoperads, whose underlying ∞\infty-category is 𝐎𝐩∞\mathbf{Op}_{\infty} (see A.2.1.4). Let 𝒵¯0⊆𝒵¯1⊆𝐅𝐢𝐧∗\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{0}\subseteq\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{1}\subseteq\mathbf{Fin}_{*} be the following subcategories:

  1. (1)

    The category 𝒵¯0\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{0} is discrete and contains only the objects ⟨1⟩\left\langle 1\right\rangle and ⟨m⟩\left\langle m\right\rangle.

  2. (2)

    The category 𝒵¯1\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{1} contains 𝒵¯0\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{0} together with a unique non-identity morphism, which is the active map α:⟨m⟩→⟨1⟩\alpha\colon\left\langle m\right\rangle\to\left\langle 1\right\rangle.

We endow 𝒵¯0\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{0} and 𝒵¯1\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{1} with the induced (trivial) marking. Unwinding the definition, for any ∞\infty-operad 𝒫\mathcal{P}, the simplicial set Map𝐏𝐎𝐩∞⁡(𝒵¯0,𝒫♮)\operatorname{Map}_{\mathbf{POp}_{\infty}}\left(\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{0},\mathcal{P}^{\natural}\right) is isomorphic to 𝒫⟨m⟩≃×𝒫⟨1⟩≃\mathcal{P}_{\left\langle m\right\rangle}^{\simeq}\times\mathcal{P}_{\left\langle 1\right\rangle}^{\simeq}. Moreover, given

X¯=(X1⊕⋯⊕Xm,Y)∈𝒫⟨m⟩≃×𝒫⟨1⟩≃,\underline{X}=\left(X_{1}\oplus\cdots\oplus X_{m},Y\right)\in\mathcal{P}_{\left\langle m\right\rangle}^{\simeq}\times\mathcal{P}_{\left\langle 1\right\rangle}^{\simeq},

the fiber of the fibration (hence also the homotopy fiber)

φ𝒫:Map𝐏𝐎𝐩∞⁡(𝒵¯1,𝒫♮)→Map𝐏𝐎𝐩∞⁡(𝒵¯0,𝒫♮)≃𝒫⟨m⟩≃×𝒫⟨1⟩≃\varphi_{\mathcal{P}}\colon\operatorname{Map}_{\mathbf{POp}_{\infty}}\left(\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{1},\mathcal{P}^{\natural}\right)\to\operatorname{Map}_{\mathbf{POp}_{\infty}}\left(\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{0},\mathcal{P}^{\natural}\right)\simeq\mathcal{P}_{\left\langle m\right\rangle}^{\simeq}\times\mathcal{P}_{\left\langle 1\right\rangle}^{\simeq}

over X¯\underline{X} is homotopy equivalent to the multi-mapping space Mul𝒫⁡({X1,…,Xm};Y)\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{P}}\left(\left\{X_{1},\dots,X_{m}\right\};Y\right). Let 𝒵0\mathcal{Z}_{0} and 𝒵1\mathcal{Z}_{1} be ∞\infty-operads that are fibrant replacements of 𝒵¯0\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{0} and 𝒵¯1\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{1}, respectively. Moreover, let f:𝒵0→𝒵1f\colon\mathcal{Z}_{0}\to\mathcal{Z}_{1} be a map corresponding to the inclusion 𝒵¯0↪𝒵¯1\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{0}\hookrightarrow\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{1}. The functor F:(𝐎𝐩∞)𝒵0/→𝒮F\colon\left(\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}\right)_{\mathcal{Z}_{0}/}\to\mathcal{S}, co-represented by f:𝒵0→𝒵1f\colon\mathcal{Z}_{0}\to\mathcal{Z}_{1}, preserves limits. Furthermore, its value on g:𝒵0→𝒫g\colon\mathcal{Z}_{0}\to\mathcal{P} fits by T.5.5.5.12 into a fiber sequence

F⁡(𝒫)\textstyle{F\left(\mathcal{P}\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Map⁡(𝒵1,𝒫)\textstyle{\operatorname{Map}\left(\mathcal{Z}_{1},\mathcal{P}\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Δ0\textstyle{\Delta^{0}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}[g]\scriptstyle{\left[g\right]}Map⁡(𝒵0,𝒫),\textstyle{\operatorname{Map}\left(\mathcal{Z}_{0},\mathcal{P}\right),}

which therefore identifies F⁡(𝒫)F\left(\mathcal{P}\right) with Mul𝒫⁡({X1,…,Xm};Y)\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{P}}\left(\left\{X_{1},\dots,X_{m}\right\};Y\right) for the objects X1,…,Xm,Y∈𝒫X_{1},\dots,X_{m},Y\in\mathcal{P} determined by gg.

Let U:𝐎𝐩∞,∗→(𝐎𝐩∞)𝒵0/U\colon\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}\to\left(\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}\right)_{\mathcal{Z}_{0}/} be the functor induced from the map 𝒵0→𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯\mathcal{Z}_{0}\to\mathbf{Triv} corresponding to the inclusion 𝒵¯0↪𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯\overline{\mathcal{Z}}_{0}\hookrightarrow\mathbf{Triv}. By T.1.2.13.8, the functor UU preserves limits. We define G(m):𝐎𝐩∞,∗→𝒮G^{(m)}\colon\mathbf{Op}_{\infty,*}\to\mathcal{S} to be the composition of FF and UU, which is limit-preserving as a composition of limit preserving-functors. Unwinding the definitions, G(m)G^{(m)} indeed lifts h​G(m)hG^{(m)}. ∎

Let 𝒞\mathcal{C} be a symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category that is unital as an ∞\infty-operad (ie the unit is an initial object). For every X∈𝒞X\in\mathcal{C} and m∈ℕm\in\mathbb{N} we have a canonical map σ:X⊔m→X⊗m\sigma\colon X^{\sqcup m}\to X^{\otimes m} defined as follows. For k=1,…,mk=1,\dots,m, on the kk-th summand of X⊔mX^{\sqcup m} the map is the tensor product of mm maps, where the kk-th one is X​⟶Id​XX\overset{\operatorname{Id}}{\longrightarrow}X and the rest are the unique map 1𝒞→X1_{\mathcal{C}}\to X.

[05XD]

Lemma 2.2.12. Let 𝒞\mathcal{C} be a symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category that is unital as an ∞\infty-operad and that admits finite coproducts. For every X∈𝒞X\in\mathcal{C} and every m∈ℕm\in\mathbb{N}, there is a fiber sequence

End𝒞red⁡(X)​(m)→Map𝒞⁡(X⊗m,X)→σ∗Map𝒞⁡(X⊔m,X),\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{C}}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\left(X\right)\left(m\right)\to\operatorname{Map}_{\mathcal{C}}\left(X^{\otimes m},X\right)\xrightarrow{\sigma^{*}}\operatorname{Map}_{\mathcal{C}}\left(X^{\sqcup m},X\right),

where the fiber is taken over the fold map ∇:X⊔m→X\nabla\colon X^{\sqcup m}\to X.

[05XE]

Proof. By 2.2.9 we have a pullback square of pointed unital ∞\infty-operads

End𝒞red⁡(X)\textstyle{\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{C}}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\left(X\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒞\textstyle{\mathcal{C}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝔼∞\textstyle{\mathbb{E}_{\infty}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝒞¯⊔,\textstyle{\underline{\mathcal{C}}_{\sqcup},}

which, by 2.2.11, induces a pullback square of multi-mapping spaces

End𝒞red⁡(X)​(m)\textstyle{\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{C}}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{red}}}\left(X\right)\left(m\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Mul𝒞⁡(X(m),X)\textstyle{\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{C}}\left(X^{\left(m\right)},X\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝔼∞​(m)\textstyle{\mathbb{E}_{\infty}\left(m\right)\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Mul𝒞¯⊔⁡(X(m),X).\textstyle{\operatorname{Mul}_{\underline{\mathcal{C}}_{\sqcup}}\left(X^{\left(m\right)},X\right).}

The bottom map is the map Δ0→Map𝒞⁡(X⊔m,X)\Delta^{0}\to\operatorname{Map}_{\mathcal{C}}\left(X^{\sqcup m},X\right) that chooses the fold map since it is induced from the map 𝔼∞=(Δ0)⊔→𝒞¯⊔\mathbb{E}_{\infty}=\left(\Delta^{0}\right)_{\sqcup}\to\underline{\mathcal{C}}_{\sqcup}. The right vertical map is induced by pre-composition with the map σ:X⊔m→X⊗m\sigma\colon X^{\sqcup m}\to X^{\otimes m}, since it is induced by the adjunction

(−)⊔:𝐂𝐚𝐭∞⇆𝐎𝐩∞un:(−)¯.\left(-\right)_{\sqcup}\colon\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty}\leftrightarrows\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}^{\operatorname{\scriptsize{un}}}\colon\underline{\left(-\right)}.

∎

2.3 Symmetric Sequences[0M39]

There is another perspective on reduced ∞\infty-operads provided by the notion of a symmetric sequence. Roughly speaking, a symmetric sequence is a sequence of Σn\Sigma_{n}-spaces XnX_{n} for n≥0n\geq 0, where Σn\Sigma_{n} is the symmetric group on nn elements. From an ∞\infty-operad 𝒪\mathcal{O} with an object X∈𝒪¯X\in\underline{\mathcal{O}} one can construct a symmetric sequence of spaces by

𝒪⁡(n)=Mul𝒪⁡(X(n);X),\mathcal{O}\left(n\right)=\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{O}}(X^{(n)};X),

where the action of Σn\Sigma_{n} comes from permuting the inputs. For our purposes it is convenient to use the following model:

[0M2R]

Definition 2.3.1. Let 𝐅𝐢𝐧\mathbf{Fin} denote the skeletal version of the category of finite sets, ie the full subcategory of 𝐒𝐞𝐭\mathbf{Set} spanned by the objects [n]={1,…,n}\left[n\right]=\left\{1,\dots,n\right\} for each integer nn. We define the ∞\infty-category of symmetric sequences (in spaces), denoted by 𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪\mathbf{SSeq}, to be 𝒮/𝐅𝐢𝐧≃\mathcal{S}_{/\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq}}.

[05XF]

Remark 2.3.2. We note two things about this definition:

  1. 1.

    The inclusion of the full subcategory 𝒮/𝐅𝐢𝐧≃K​a​n⊆𝒮/𝐅𝐢𝐧≃\mathcal{S}_{/\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq}}^{Kan}\subseteq\mathcal{S}_{/\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq}} spanned by Kan fibrations is an equivalence of ∞\infty-categories and the straightening functor of [Lur09] induces an equivalence of ∞\infty-categories 𝒮/𝐅𝐢𝐧≃K​a​n≃Fun⁡(𝐅𝐢𝐧≃,𝒮)\mathcal{S}_{/\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq}}^{Kan}\simeq\operatorname{Fun}\left(\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq},\mathcal{S}\right). Since 𝐅𝐢𝐧≃\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq} is equivalent to the disjoint union of classifying spaces of the symmetric groups Σn\Sigma_{n}, we get

    𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪≃Fun⁡(∐n≥0B​Σn,𝒮)≃∏n≥0Fun⁡(B​Σn,𝒮).\mathbf{SSeq}\simeq\operatorname{Fun}\left(\coprod\limits_{n\geq 0}B\Sigma_{n},\mathcal{S}\right)\simeq\prod_{n\geq 0}\operatorname{Fun}\left(B\Sigma_{n},\mathcal{S}\right).

    More explicitly, given a symmetric sequence p:S→𝐅𝐢𝐧≃p\colon S\to\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq}, taking pullback along the map Δ0→𝐅𝐢𝐧≃\Delta^{0}\to\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq} that corresponds to the object [n]∈𝐅𝐢𝐧≃\left[n\right]\in\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq}, we obtain a space S⁡(n)S\left(n\right) that is the underlying space of the Σn\Sigma_{n}-space on the right hand-side of the above equivalence.

  2. 2.

    In relating ∞\infty-operads to symmetric sequences it is useful to note that the functor 𝐅𝐢𝐧→𝐅𝐢𝐧∗\mathbf{Fin}\to\mathbf{Fin}_{*}, which adds a base point, induces an isomorphism of groupoids 𝐅𝐢𝐧≃​⟶∼​𝐅𝐢𝐧∗≃\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq}\overset{\sim}{\longrightarrow}\mathbf{Fin}_{*}^{\simeq}. Moreover, 𝐅𝐢𝐧∗≃\mathbf{Fin}_{*}^{\simeq} is isomorphic to 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯act⊗\mathbf{Triv}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes} (see the notation in T.3.1.1.1).

We next define the underlying symmetric sequence of a pointed ∞\infty-operad 𝒪X\mathcal{O}_{X}, which is given by a map 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯→𝒪\mathbf{Triv}\to\mathcal{O}, such that XX is the image of ⟨1⟩∈𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯\left\langle 1\right\rangle\in\mathbf{Triv} (see 2.2.7).

[0M2S]

Definition 2.3.3. Given a pointed ∞\infty-operad 𝒪X\mathcal{O}_{X}, we define its underlying symmetric sequence to be

p:𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯act⊗×𝒪act⊗(𝒪act⊗)/X→𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯act⊗≃𝐅𝐢𝐧≃p\colon\mathbf{Triv}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\times_{\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}}\left(\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\right)_{/X}\to\mathbf{Triv}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\simeq\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq}

and denote it by 𝒪X,𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪\mathcal{O}_{X,\mathbf{SSeq}}. By analogy with ∞\infty-operads, we denote by 𝒪X,𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪⊗\mathcal{O}_{X,\mathbf{SSeq}}^{\otimes} the source of pp.

[05XG]

Lemma 2.3.4. Given a pointed ∞\infty-operad 𝒪X\mathcal{O}_{X}, the map

p:𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯act⊗×𝒪act⊗(𝒪act⊗)/X→𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯act⊗≃𝐅𝐢𝐧≃p\colon\mathbf{Triv}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\times_{\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}}\left(\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\right)_{/X}\to\mathbf{Triv}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\simeq\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq}

is a Kan fibration.

[05XH]

Proof. Since pp is a pullback of the right fibration (𝒪act⊗)/X→𝒪act⊗\left(\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\right)_{/X}\to\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes} it is itself a right fibration. The simplicial set 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯act⊗\mathbf{Triv}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes} is isomorphic to 𝐅𝐢𝐧≃\mathbf{Fin}^{\simeq} and is in particular a Kan complex. By T.2.1.3.3 the map pp is a Kan fibration. ∎

2.3.3 relates to the informal description at the beginning of the subsection by

[05XI]

Lemma 2.3.5. Given a pointed ∞\infty-operad 𝒪X\mathcal{O}_{X}, there is a homotopy equivalence

𝒪X,𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(n)≃Mul𝒪⁡(X(n);X),\mathcal{O}_{X,\mathbf{SSeq}}(n)\simeq\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{O}}(X^{(n)};X),

which is natural in 𝒪X\mathcal{O}_{X}.

[05XJ]

Proof. This follows directly from unwinding 2.3.3. ∎

Let f:𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯→𝒪f\colon\mathbf{Triv}\to\mathcal{O} be a pointed ∞\infty-operad and let p:𝒪→𝒰p\colon\mathcal{O}\to\mathcal{U} be a map of ∞\infty-operads. Consider 𝒰\mathcal{U} as pointed by the composition p∘fp\circ f. Let X=f⁡(⟨1⟩)X=f\left(\left\langle 1\right\rangle\right) and Y=p⁡(f⁡(⟨1⟩))Y=p\left(f\left(\left\langle 1\right\rangle\right)\right). The (1-categorical) functoriality of the formula in 2.3.4 induces a map of symmetric sequences

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯act⊗×𝒪act⊗(𝒪act⊗)/X→𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯act⊗×𝒰act⊗(𝒰act⊗)/Y.\mathbf{Triv}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\times_{\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}}\left(\mathcal{O}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\right)_{/X}\to\mathbf{Triv}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\times_{\mathcal{U}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}}\left(\mathcal{U}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\right)_{/Y}.

One can verify that this yields a functor on the level of homotopy categories

(−)𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪:h(𝐎𝐩∞)𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯/→h𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪.\left(-\right)_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\colon h\left(\mathbf{Op}_{\infty}\right)_{\mathbf{Triv}/}\to h\mathbf{SSeq}.

It will be important in what follows to know the following:

[05XL]

Proof. Let g:𝒫→𝒬g\colon\mathcal{P}\to\mathcal{Q} be a map of reduced ∞\infty-operads such that g𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪g_{\mathbf{SSeq}} is an equivalence. The map gg is defined by a commutative triangle

𝒫⊗\textstyle{\mathcal{P}^{\otimes}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}g⊗\scriptstyle{g^{\otimes}}𝒬⊗\textstyle{\mathcal{Q}^{\otimes}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}𝐅𝐢𝐧∗.\textstyle{\mathbf{Fin}_{*}.}

To show that gg is an equivalence of ∞\infty-operads, we need to show that g⊗g^{\otimes} is an equivalence of ∞\infty-categories. Since 𝒫\mathcal{P} and 𝒬\mathcal{Q} are reduced, it is clear that g⊗g^{\otimes} is essentially surjective. To show that g⊗g^{\otimes} is fully faithful, we can use the Segal conditions to reduce this to showing that the map

𝒫(n)=Mul𝒫(∗(n),∗)→Mul𝒬(∗(n),∗)=𝒬(n)\mathcal{P}\left(n\right)=\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{P}}(*^{(n)},*)\to\operatorname{Mul}_{\mathcal{Q}}(*^{(n)},*)=\mathcal{Q}\left(n\right)

is a homotopy equivalence for all nn. By 2.3.5, those maps are induced by the equivalence g𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪g_{\mathbf{SSeq}} and therefore are equivalences. ∎

[05XM]

Remark 2.3.7. It is possible to lift (−)𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪\left(-\right)_{\mathbf{SSeq}} to a functor of ∞\infty-categories, but a bit tedious to do so. We shall be content with the above weaker version as it will suffice for our applications.

2.4 Free Algebras[0M3A]

The symmetric sequence underlying a reduced ∞\infty-operad 𝒫\mathcal{P} features in the construction of free 𝒫\mathcal{P}-algebras. In what follows we briefly recall and summarize the material of A.3.1.3 specialized to the setting that is of interest to us. That is, let 𝒫\mathcal{P} be a reduced ∞\infty-operad and let p:𝒞⊗→𝐅𝐢𝐧∗p\colon\mathcal{C}^{\otimes}\to\mathbf{Fin}_{*} be a presentably symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category. By A.3.1.3.5 the forgetful functor

U𝒫:Alg𝒫⁡(𝒞)→Alg𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯⁡(𝒞)≃𝒞U_{\mathcal{P}}\colon\operatorname{Alg}_{\mathcal{P}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)\to\operatorname{Alg}_{\mathbf{Triv}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)\simeq\mathcal{C}

admits a left adjoint F𝒫F_{\mathcal{P}} (the free 𝒫\mathcal{P}-algebra functor) that can be characterized as follows. By definition A.3.1.3.1, for every object X∈𝒞X\in\mathcal{C} we get a diagram 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(X):𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪⊗→𝒞act⊗\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(X\right)\colon\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}^{\otimes}\to\mathcal{\mathcal{C}}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes} that, loosely speaking, corresponds to a sequence of maps 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(n)→𝒞act⊗\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(n\right)\to\mathcal{\mathcal{C}}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}, such that each map lands in the connected component of X⊗nX^{\otimes n} and is Σn\Sigma_{n}-equivariant in the evident way. Furthermore, a map f:X→U𝒫​(A)f\colon X\to U_{\mathcal{P}}\left(A\right) in 𝒞\mathcal{C}, gives a lift of 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪⊗​(X)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}^{\otimes}\left(X\right) to a cone diagram

𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪⊗​(f):𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪⊗→(𝒞act⊗)/U𝒫​(A).\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}^{\otimes}\left(f\right)\colon\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}^{\otimes}\to\left(\mathcal{\mathcal{C}}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\right)_{/U_{\mathcal{P}}\left(A\right)}.

We say that ff exhibits AA as the free 𝒫\mathcal{P}-algebra on XX, if 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪⊗​(f)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}^{\otimes}\left(f\right) is an operadic pp-colimit diagram. By A.3.1.3.2 and A.3.1.3.5, such a map ff exists for every XX and can be taken as the XX-component of a unit natural transformation for an adjunction F𝒫⊣U𝒫F_{\mathcal{P}}\dashv U_{\mathcal{P}}.

Using our assumption on 𝒞\mathcal{C}, we can reduce the operadic colimit in the above discussion to an ordinary colimit in 𝒞\mathcal{C}. Consider the following commutative diagram

Δ{0}×𝒞⊗\textstyle{\Delta^{\left\{0\right\}}\times\mathcal{C}^{\otimes}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}Id\scriptstyle{\operatorname{Id}}𝒞⊗\textstyle{\mathcal{C}^{\otimes}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}p\scriptstyle{p}Δ1×𝒞⊗\textstyle{\Delta^{1}\times\mathcal{C}^{\otimes}\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces\ignorespaces}α\scriptstyle{\alpha}α¯\scriptstyle{\overline{\alpha}}𝐅𝐢𝐧∗,\textstyle{\mathbf{Fin}_{*},}

where α\alpha is a natural transformation from pp to the constant diagram on ⟨1⟩\left\langle 1\right\rangle that consists of active morphisms. Let α¯\overline{\alpha} be a coCartesian natural transformation that lifts α\alpha. The restricted functor F=α¯|Δ{1}×𝒞act⊗F=\overline{\alpha}|_{\Delta^{\left\{1\right\}}\times\mathcal{C}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}} lands in the fiber over ⟨1⟩\left\langle 1\right\rangle and is therefore a functor F:𝒞act⊗→𝒞F\colon\mathcal{C}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\to\mathcal{C}.

[05XN]

Remark 2.4.1. Informally speaking, FF takes each multi-object X1⊕⋯⊕XnX_{1}\oplus\cdots\oplus X_{n} to the tensor product X1⊗⋯⊗XnX_{1}\otimes\cdots\otimes X_{n}. There are two abstract characterizations of FF (which we shall not use):

  1. (1)

    It is the left adjoint of the inclusion 𝒞¯↪𝒞act⊗\underline{\mathcal{C}}\hookrightarrow\mathcal{C}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}.

  2. (2)

    The symmetric monoidal envelope is a left adjoint to the inclusion of symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-categories into ∞\infty-operads. The functor FF is the induced functor on the underlying ∞\infty-categories of the unit of this adjunction at the object 𝒞\mathcal{C}.

By A.3.1.1.15 and A.3.1.1.16, 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪⊗​(f)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}^{\otimes}\left(f\right) is an operadic pp-colimit diagram if and only if the diagram 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(f)=F∘𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪⊗​(f)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(f\right)=F\circ\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}^{\otimes}\left(f\right) is a colimit diagram in 𝒞\mathcal{C}. In particular, we get

[05XP]

Lemma 2.4.2. Let 𝒫\mathcal{P} be a reduced ∞\infty-operad and let 𝒞\mathcal{C} be a presentably symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category. The forgetful functor

U𝒫:Alg¯𝒫​(𝒞)→Alg¯𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯​(𝒞)≃𝒞U_{\mathcal{P}}\colon\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{P}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)\to\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathbf{Triv}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)\simeq\mathcal{C}

admits a left adjoint F𝒫F_{\mathcal{P}} and the associated monad T𝒫=U𝒫∘F𝒫T_{\mathcal{P}}=U_{\mathcal{P}}\circ F_{\mathcal{P}} acts on an object X∈𝒞X\in\mathcal{C} as follows:

T𝒫​(X)=U𝒫​F𝒫​(X)=colim𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(X)=∐n≥0(𝒫⁡(n)⊗X⊗n)h​ΣnT_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X\right)=U_{\mathcal{P}}F_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X\right)=\operatorname*{colim}\mathcal{P}_{\boldsymbol{\mathbf{SSeq}}}\left(X\right)=\coprod_{n\geq 0}\left(\mathcal{P}\left(n\right)\otimes X^{\otimes n}\right)_{h\Sigma_{n}}

(where we let ⊗\otimes denote the canonical enrichment of 𝒞¯\underline{\mathcal{C}} over 𝒮\mathcal{S} as well).

Our next goal is to articulate the functoriality of T𝒫T_{\mathcal{P}} in the ∞\infty-operad 𝒫\mathcal{P}.

[05XQ]

Construction 2.4.3. Given a map of reduced ∞\infty-operads 𝒫→𝒬\mathcal{P}\to\mathcal{Q} we get a forgetful functor G:Alg¯𝒬​(𝒞)→Alg¯𝒫​(𝒞)G\colon\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)\to\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{P}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right), such that U𝒫​G=U𝒬U_{\mathcal{P}}G=U_{\mathcal{Q}}. The unit map

Id→U𝒬​F𝒬=U𝒫​G​F𝒬\operatorname{Id}\to U_{\mathcal{Q}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}=U_{\mathcal{P}}GF_{\mathcal{Q}}

has an adjunct F𝒫→G​F𝒬F_{\mathcal{P}}\to GF_{\mathcal{Q}} and by applying U𝒫U_{\mathcal{P}} we obtain an induced map of the associated monads (as endofunctors of 𝒞\mathcal{C}):

αG:T𝒫=U𝒫​F𝒫→U𝒫​G​F𝒬=U𝒬​F𝒬=T𝒬,\alpha_{G}\colon T_{\mathcal{P}}=U_{\mathcal{P}}F_{\mathcal{P}}\to U_{\mathcal{P}}GF_{\mathcal{Q}}=U_{\mathcal{Q}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}=T_{\mathcal{Q}},

which is well defined up to homotopy.

Lemma 2.4.4. In the setting of Construction 2.4.3, if GG is an equivalence of ∞\infty-categories, then the map αG:T𝒫→T𝒬\alpha_{G}\colon T_{\mathcal{P}}\to T_{\mathcal{Q}} is a natural equivalence of functors.

[05XS]

Proof. Since all the steps in the construction are invariant, we may assume without loss of generality that GG is the identity functor and U𝒫=U𝒬U_{\mathcal{P}}=U_{\mathcal{Q}}. In this case, the map αG\alpha_{G} is given by applying U𝒬U_{\mathcal{Q}} to the composition

F𝒬→F𝒬​uF𝒬​U𝒬​F𝒬→c​F𝒬F𝒬F_{\mathcal{Q}}\xrightarrow{F_{\mathcal{Q}}u}F_{\mathcal{Q}}U_{\mathcal{Q}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}\xrightarrow{cF_{\mathcal{Q}}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}

where uu and cc are the unit and counit of the adjunction F𝒬⊣U𝒬F_{\mathcal{Q}}\dashv U_{\mathcal{Q}}. This composition is homotopic to the identity by the zig-zag identities. ∎

Our last task is to show that the map from Construction 2.4.3 is induced from the map of symmetric sequences 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪→𝒬𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\to\mathcal{Q}_{\mathbf{SSeq}} by the functoriality of the explicit formula given in 2.4.2.

Lemma 2.4.5. Given a map f:X→U𝒫​(A)f\colon X\to U_{\mathcal{P}}\left(A\right), the map colim𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(X)→U𝒫​(A)\operatorname*{colim}\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(X\right)\to U_{\mathcal{P}}\left(A\right) induced by the diagram 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(f)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(f\right) is equivalent to the canonical map f~:U𝒫​F𝒫​(X)→U𝒫​(A)\tilde{f}\colon U_{\mathcal{P}}F_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X\right)\to U_{\mathcal{P}}\left(A\right) (ie U𝒫U_{\mathcal{P}} of the adjunct of ff).

[05XU]

Proof. One only has to observe that the map f~:U𝒫​F𝒫​(X)→U𝒫​(A)\tilde{f}\colon U_{\mathcal{P}}F_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X\right)\to U_{\mathcal{P}}\left(A\right) is a map of cones on 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(X)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(X\right). Let uX:X→U𝒫​F𝒫​(X)u_{X}\colon X\to U_{\mathcal{P}}F_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X\right) be the unit map of the free-forgetful adjunction at XX. The adjunct map F𝒫​(X)→AF_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X\right)\to A induces a map f~⊳:(𝒞act⊗)/U𝒫​F𝒫​(X)→(𝒞act⊗)/U𝒫​(A)\tilde{f}^{\triangleright}\colon\left(\mathcal{\mathcal{C}}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\right)_{/U_{\mathcal{P}}F_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X\right)}\to\left(\mathcal{\mathcal{C}}_{\operatorname{\scriptsize{act}}}^{\otimes}\right)_{/U_{\mathcal{P}}\left(A\right)}. Inspecting Construction A.3.1.3.1, it can be seen that the cone diagram 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(f)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(f\right) is equivalent to the composition of the universal cone diagram 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(uX)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(u_{X}\right) and f~⊳\tilde{f}^{\triangleright}. ∎

From this we get

[05XV]

Proposition 2.4.6. Let g:𝒫→𝒬g\colon\mathcal{P}\to\mathcal{Q} be a map of reduced ∞\infty-operads and let 𝒞\mathcal{C} be a presentably symmetric monoidal ∞\infty-category. For every object X∈𝒞X\in\mathcal{C}, the induced map of the associated monads

T𝒫​(X)=colim𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(X)→colim𝒬𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(X)=T𝒬​(X)T_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X\right)=\operatorname*{colim}\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(X\right)\to\operatorname*{colim}\mathcal{Q}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(X\right)=T_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(X\right)

is equivalent to the canonical map on colimits that is induced by pre-composition with

g𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪:𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪→𝒬𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪.g_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\colon\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\to\mathcal{Q}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}.
[05XW]

Proof. We denote by G:Alg¯𝒬​(𝒞)→Alg¯𝒫​(𝒞)G\colon\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right)\to\underline{\operatorname{Alg}}_{\mathcal{P}}\left(\mathcal{C}\right) the forgetful functor induced by the map gg. Let

f:X→U𝒬​F𝒬​(X)≃U𝒫​G​F𝒬​(X)f\colon X\to U_{\mathcal{Q}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(X\right)\simeq U_{\mathcal{P}}GF_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(X\right)

be the unit map. It induces a cone diagram

𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(f):𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪→𝒞/U𝒬​F𝒬​(X)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(f\right)\colon\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\to\mathcal{\mathcal{C}}_{/U_{\mathcal{Q}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(X\right)}

and, by 2.4.5, the associated map f~:U𝒫​F𝒫​(X)→U𝒬​F𝒬​(X)\tilde{f}\colon U_{\mathcal{P}}F_{\mathcal{P}}\left(X\right)\to U_{\mathcal{Q}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(X\right) is equivalent to the map colim𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(X)→U𝒬​F𝒬​(X)\operatorname*{colim}\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(X\right)\to U_{\mathcal{Q}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(X\right) specified by the cone diagram 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(f)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(f\right). On the other hand, inspecting Construction A.3.1.3.1, it can be seen that the diagram 𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(f)\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(f\right) is obtained from the diagram

𝒬𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(f):𝒬𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪→𝒞/U𝒬​F𝒬​(X)\mathcal{Q}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(f\right)\colon\mathcal{Q}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\to\mathcal{\mathcal{C}}_{/U_{\mathcal{Q}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(X\right)}

by pre-composition with g𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪:𝒫𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪→𝒬𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪g_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\colon\mathcal{P}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\to\mathcal{Q}_{\mathbf{SSeq}} and that 𝒬𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(f)\mathcal{Q}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(f\right) exhibits U𝒬​F𝒬​(X)U_{\mathcal{Q}}F_{\mathcal{Q}}\left(X\right) as the colimit of 𝒬𝐒𝐒𝐞𝐪​(X)\mathcal{Q}_{\mathbf{SSeq}}\left(X\right). Thus, we get the desired equivalence. ∎
