## 3.1 $(\infty,1)$-Categories of Endofunctors

For an $(\infty,1)$-category $M$ the $(\infty,1)$-category $Fun(M,M)$ is a monoid object in the category $sSet$ and $M$ is endowed with a ($1$-categorial) left action of $Fun(M,M)$ and this action is universal among left actions on $M$ .. .

This Recall statement how shall the be lifted to$(\infty,1)$-Grothendieck construction works in the following example: Let $I$ be a $1$-category, let $f:N(I)\to (\infty,1)Cat$ be a diagram. We obtain the desired cartesian fibration $X\to N(I)$ by first replacing $f$ by a simplicial functor $F:N_{coh}(I)^{op}\to sSet^+$ where $N_{coh}$ denotes the homotopy coherent nerve functor and $sSet^+$ denotes the category of marked simplicial sets. $F$ is a weakly fibrant object of $(sSet^+)^{N_{coh}(I)^{op}}$. Applying the unstraightening functor? $Un^+_{N(J)}$ we obtain a fibrant object $sSet^+/N(I)$ which we identify with the desired cartesian fibration $p:X\to N(I)$.

###### Definition (relative nerve)

Let $I$ be a category, let $f:J\to sSet$ be a functor. The nerve of $I$ relative $f$ denoted by $N_f(I)$ is defined as follows: Let $J$ be a finite linear order, the a map $\Delta^J\to N_f(I)$ consists of:

1. a functor $s:J\to I$

2. for every nonempty subset $J^\prime\subset J$ having a maximal element $j^\prime$, a map $\tau(J^\prime):\Delta^{J}\to f(\sigma(j^\prime))$.

3. satisfying properties.

This statement shall be lifted to $(\infty,1)$.

mapping simplex: Let $\phi:A^0\leftarrow A^1\leftarrow \dots\leftarrow A^n$ be a composable sequence of maps of simplicial sets. The mapping simplex of $\phi$ is denoted by $M(\phi)$.

2. for every nonempty subset $J^\prime\subset J$ having a maximal element $j^\prime$, a map $\tau(J^\prime):\Delta^{J}\to f(\sigma(j^\prime))$.

3. satisfying properties.

###### Definition (composition monoidal structure)

Let $M$ be a simplicial set. Let $End^{\otimes}(M):=N_E(\Delta^{op})$ and $\overline{End^\otimes}(M):=N_{\overline E}(\Delta^{op})$.

Let now $M$ be a $(\infty,1)$-category.

1. The map $p:End^{\otimes}(M)\to N(\Delta)^{op}$ determines a monoidal structure on the $(\infty,1)$-category $Fun(M,M)\simeq End^\otimes_{[1]}(M)$.

2. The map $q:\overline{End^\otimes}\to End^\otimes(M)$ exhibits $M\simeq \overline{End^\otimes_{[0]}}(M)$ as left tensored over $Fun(M,M)$.

This monoidal structure on $Fun(M,M)$ is called the composition monoidal structure.

mapping simplex: Let $\phi:A^0\leftarrow A^1\leftarrow \dots\leftarrow A^n$ be a composable sequence of maps of simplicial sets. The mapping simplex of $\phi$ is denoted by $M(\phi)$.

###### Definition (composition monoidal structure)

Let $M$ be an a simplicial set. Let (\infty,1) End^{\otimes}(M):=N_E(\Delta^{op}) -category. Then and amonad on $M$$\overline{End^\otimes}(M):=N_{\overline E}(\Delta^{op})$ . is defined to an algebra object in$Fun(M,M)$

Let now $M$ be a $(\infty,1)$-category.

1. The map $p:End^{\otimes}(M)\to N(\Delta)^{op}$ determines a monoidal structure on the $(\infty,1)$-category $Fun(M,M)\simeq End^\otimes_{[1]}(M)$.

2. The map $q:\overline{End^\otimes}\to End^\otimes(M)$ exhibits $M\simeq \overline{End^\otimes_{[0]}}(M)$ as left tensored over $Fun(M,M)$.

This monoidal structure on $Fun(M,M)$ is called the composition monoidal structure.

Let $M$ be an $(\infty,1)$-category. Then a monad on $M$ is defined to an algebra object in $Fun(M,M)$
