How do these definitions of factorization algebra compare?
Question
Several sources define (homotopy) factorization algebras in a seemingly
different manner (I am looking at [CG], [Gi], and
[CFM].) I wish to know how they compare with each other.
I apologize ...

Commuting homotopy colimits and arbitrary products in spaces
Let $X : D \rightarrow Spc$ be a diagram with values in the $\infty$-category of spaces and $I$ some (discrete) set, not necessarily finite. ($D$ can be a 1-category if that makes statements easier, ...

Classifying spaces of amalgamated topological monoids
Let $\mathsf{Top}_*$ be the category of well-based spaces and $\mathsf{TopMon}$ the category of topological monoids. Recall the James construction $\mathcal{J}:\mathsf{Top}_*\to \mathsf{TopMon}$ which ...

When is an increasing union a colimit?
Let's consider a diagram $\Phi: \lambda \to \mathcal{T}_*$
$$
X_0 \to X_1 \to \cdots \to X_\xi \to X_{\xi+1} \to \cdots
$$
of pointed spaces,
indexed by some ordinal $\lambda$, in which each $X_\xi$ ...

Higher-dimensional version of the "Magic Cube Lemma" for homotopy pushouts/pullbacks
The "Magic Cube Lemma" is a surprising (to me) relationship between (homotopy) pushouts and (homotopy) pullbacks of spaces:
Consider a cubical diagram $I^3\to \mathcal{S}$ in the $\infty$-category of ...

Contractibility of a poset-indexed colimit
Let $(X,\leq)$ be a poset with distinguished element $p$, and let $P'$ be the poset of "finite chains which weakly descend to $p$" given by all $\sigma = (x_0 \geq x_1 \geq \cdots \geq x_k \geq p)$ ...

Which reflexive coequalizer diagrams are projectively cofibrant?
Consider the walking reflexive pair category W,
which consists of two objects 0 and 1 and three generating
morphisms f: 0→1, g: 0→1, and h: 1→0
satisfying the relation fh=gh=id₁.
Consider the ...

Which E_∞-spaces are homotopy colimits of k-truncated E_∞-spaces?
This question is closely related to my previous question about modules over truncated sphere spectra, in particular, it has the same motivation.
Recall that every space (or ∞-groupoid) can be ...

Cech cohomology as a colimit over maps to a CW complex
Given a topological space $X$, we consider the following category $\mathsf{CW}_{X\to}$. The objects are finite CW complexes $Y$ equipped with a continuous map $X\to Y$. The morphisms are continuous ...

Fubini theorem for hocolim
I wanted to ask the following question,
Suppose $\mathbf{M}$ a cofibrantly generated model category and $I,~J$ two small categories. Suppose that $F:J\rightarrow \mathbf{M}^{\mathrm{I}}$ is a functor. ...
