Cofree coalgebras over operads
This paper explicitely constructs cofree coalgebras over operads in the
category of DG-modules. Special cases are considered in which the general
expression simplifies (such as the pointed, irreducible case). It is shown that
the existence of an operad-action on a coalgebra implies a ``generalized
coassociativity'' that facilitates the construction. Some areas of application
are discussed.Comment: A revised version of this paper will appear in the journal Topology
and its Applications (communicated by Paul Goerss). The revision involves
