On Operads, Bimodules And Analytic Functors

Develops the theory of operads and analytic functors. In particular, the authors introduce the bicategory $\operatorname{OpdBim}_{\mathcal{V}}$ of operad bimodules, that has operads as $0$-cells, operad bimodules as $1$-cells and operad bimodule maps as 2-cells, and prove that it is cartesian closed.
