A formal language for cyclic operads

Abstract

We propose a λ-calculus-style formal language, called the μ-syntax, as a lightweight representation of the structure of cyclic operads. We illustrate the rewriting methods behind the formalism by giving a complete step-by-step proof of the equivalence between the unbiased and biased definitions of cyclic operads.
