Over a monoidal model category, under some mild assumptions, we equip the categories of colored PROPs and their algebras with projective model category structures. A Boardman-Vogt style homotopy invariance result about algebras over cofibrant colored PROPs is proved. As an example, we define homotopy topological conformal field theories and observe that such structures are homotopy invariant.

We set up foundations of representation theory over $S$, the sphere spectrum, which is the `initial ring of stable homotopy theory. In particular, we treat $S$-Lie algebras and their representations, characters, $gl_n(S)$-Verma modules and their duals, Harish-Chandra pairs and Zuckermann functors. As an application, we construct a Khovanov $sl_k$-stable homotopy type with a large prime hypothesis, which is a new link invariant, using a stable homotopy analogue of the method of J.Sussan.

We introduce a new category of differential graded multi-oriented props whose representations (called homotopy algebras with branes) in a graded vector space require a choice of a collection of $k$ linear subspaces in that space, $k$ being the number of extra directions (if $k=0$ this structure recovers an ordinary prop); symplectic vector spaces equipped with $k$ Lagrangian subspaces play a distinguished role in this theory. Manin triples is a classical example of an algebraic structure (concretely, a Lie bialgebra structure) given in terms of a vector space and its subspace; in the context of this paper Manin triples are precisely symplectic Lagrangian representations of the {em 2-oriented} generalization of the classical operad of Lie algebras. In a sense, the theory of multi-oriented props provides us with a far reaching strong homotopy generalization of Manin triples type constructions. The homotopy theory of multi-oriented props can be quite non-trivial (and different from that of ordinary props). The famous Grothendieck-Teichmuller group acts faithfully as homotopy non-trivial automorphisms on infinitely many multi-oriented props, a fact which motivated much the present work as it gives us a hint to a non-trivial deformation quantization theory in every geometric dimension $dgeq 4$ generalizing to higher dimensions Drinfeld-Etingof-Kazhdans quantizations of Lie bialgebras (the case $d=3$) and Kontsevichs quantizations of Poisson structures (the case $d=2$).
The purpose of this foundational paper is to introduce various notions and constructions in order to develop the homotopy theory for differential graded operads over any ring. The main new idea is to consider the action of the symmetric groups as part of the defining structure of an operad and not as the underlying category. We introduce a new dual category of higher cooperads, a new higher bar-cobar adjunction with the category of operads, and a new higher notion of homotopy operads, for which we establish the relevant homotopy properties. For instance, the higher bar-cobar construction provides us with a cofibrant replacement functor for operads over any ring. All these constructions are produced conceptually by applying the curved Koszul duality for colored operads. This paper is a first step toward a new Koszul duality theory for operads, where the action of the symmetric groups is properly taken into account.
We show that a derivator is stable if and only if homotopy finite limits and homotopy finite colimits commute, if and only if homotopy finite limit functors have right adjoints, and if and only if homotopy finite colimit functors have left adjoints. These characterizations generalize to an abstract notion of stability relative to a class of functors, which includes in particular pointedness, semiadditivity, and ordinary stability. To prove them, we develop the theory of derivators enriched over monoidal left derivators and weighted homotopy limits and colimits therein.
We explain how higher homotopy operations, defined topologically, may be identified under mild assumptions with (the last of) the Dwyer-Kan-Smith cohomological obstructions to rectifying homotopy-commutative diagrams.
