    An infinity operad of normalized cacti

    No full text
    We endow the normalized cacti with the structure of an ∞-operad by showing that its existing composition laws are associative up to all higher homotopies. The higher homotopies are encoded by a new topological operad of bracketed trees which we relate both to an enrichment of the dendroidal category Ω and to the Boardman-Vogt W-construction on the operad of operads
