Boardman-Vogt resolutions and bar/cobar constructions of (co)operadic (co)bimodules

TL;DR
This work develops leveled-tree combinatorics to construct explicit cofibrant/fibrant resolutions for (co)operads and (co)operadic (co)bimodules in spectra and CDGAs, extending the Boardman–Vogt and bar–cobar frameworks to leveled settings. The leveled BV resolutions $W_{l}$, leveled bar constructions $ ext{B}_{l}$, and leveled cobar constructions $ ext{Ω}_{l}$ are shown to be isomorphic to their classical counterparts in the operad and cooperad cases, while enabling a compatible treatment of bimodules and cobimodules. Key results include identifications $W_{l} ext{O} \\cong W ext{O}$, $ ext{B}_{l}( ext{O}) \\\cong ext{B}( ext{O})$, $ ext{Ω}_{l} ext{C} \\\cong ext{Ω}( ext{C})$, and fibrant/cofibrantResolution statements for Hopf Λ-cooperads/cobimodules via leveled constructions, together with explicit relations to indecomposable/primitive elements. The framework yields quasi-isomorphisms between leveled BV resolutions and leveled bar–cobar constructions, and provides tools for computing derived mapping spaces (e.g., in embedding problems) through cofree/coinduced structures; the Λ-extensions and simplicial frames further enhance applicability to rational homotopy and deformation problems.
Abstract
We develop the combinatorics of leveled trees in order to construct explicit resolutions of (co)operads and (co)operadic (co)bimodules. We build explicit cofibrant resolutions of operads and operadic bimodules in spectra analogous to the ordinary Boardman--Vogt resolutions and we express them as cobar constructions of indecomposable elements. Dually, in the context of CDGAs, we perform similar constructions, and we obtain fibrant resolutions of Hopf cooperads and Hopf cooperadic cobimodules. We also express them as bar constructions of primitive elements.
