Cartesian closure of operad bimodules -- Appendix A: A compendium of bicategorical definitions -- Appendix B: A technical proof -- Bibliography N2 - "We develop further the theory of operads and analytic functors. In particular, we introduce the bicategory OpdBimV 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. In order to obtain this result, we extend the theory of distributors and the formal theory of monads."--Page v ER -
