Partition complexes and trees

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

We construct a functor from the partition complex of a finite set A to a category of trees with leaves labelled by A and prove that it is homotopy initial. This construction and our proof are elementary and require very few preliminaries, but imply an equivalence between different bar constructions of an operad in great generality.
