We describe a category of undirected graphs which comes equipped with a faithful functor into the category of (colored) modular operads. The associated singular functor from modula…

A graphical category for higher modular operads
Philip Hackney, Marcy Robertson, Donald Yau
We present a homotopy theory for a weak version of modular operads whose compositions and contractions are only defined up to homotopy. This homotopy theory takes the form of a Qui…
