Algebras with one operation including Poisson and other Lie-admissible algebras

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a new kind of symmetry for operads, the dihedrality, responsible for the existence of dihedral cohomology, which can be used to represent an algebra with one operation without any specific symmetry as a one commutative and one anticommutative operation.

An Algebraic Presentation of Term Graphs, via GS-Monoidal Categories

TL;DR: A categorical characterization of term graphs is presented that shows that term graphs over a signature Σ are one-to-one with the arrows of the free gs-monoidal category generated by Σ, providing an abstract and clear relationship between terms and term graphs.

Cubical sets and their site

Marco Grandis, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the extended cubical site K has characterisations similar to the classical ones for the simplicial analogue, by generators and relations, or by the existence of a universal symmetric cubical monoid, and that K is the classifying category of a monoidal algebraic theory of such monoids.
