On Operads / Über OperadenBrinkmeier, Michael 18 May 2001 (has links)
This Thesis consists of four independent parts. In the first part I prove that the delooping, i.e.the classifying space, of a grouplike monoid is an $H$-space if and only if its multiplication is a homotopy homomorphism. This is an extension and clarification of a result of Sugawara. Furthermore I prove that the Moore loop space functor and the construction of the classifying space induce an adjunction on the corresponding homotopy categories. In the second part I extend a result of G. Dunn, by proving that the tensorproduct $C_{n_1}\otimes\dots \otimes C_{n_j}$ of little cube operads is a topologically equivalent suboperad of $C_{n_1 \dots n_j}$. In the third part I describe operads as algebras over a certain colored operad. By application of results of Boardman and Vogt I describe a model of the homotopy category of topological operads and algebras over them, as well as a notion of lax operads, i.e. operads whose axioms are weakened up to coherent homotopies. Here the W-construction, a functorial cofibrant replacement for a topological operad, plays a central role. As one application I construct a model for the homotopy category of topological categories. C. Berger claimed to have constructed an operad structure on the permutohedras, whose associated monad is exactly the Milgram-construction of the free two-fold loop space. In the fourth part I prove that this statement is not correct.
