TITLE: One colored infinity operads via symmetric sequences?
QUESTION [8 upvotes]: The question
One standard approach to the theory of 1-colored (symmetric) operads in classical 1-categorical theory is via monoids in symmetric sequences with respect to the composition product. Has this been worked out for $\infty$-operads in the sense of Higher Algebra?
More details
More concretely, I am not even interested in the composition product, but in something that seems rather obvious but still requires a proof. For a 1-colored $\infty$-operad $\mathcal{P}$ (my operads are actually reduced) we can associate a symmetric sequence of spaces $\{\mathcal{P}(n)\}_{n\ge0}$ of $n$-arry operations. From this sequence, one can construct an endofunctor of spaces
$$T_{\mathcal{P}}(X) = \coprod_{n\ge0}(\mathcal{P}(n)\times X^n)//\Sigma_n$$
which is the monad obtained from the free forgetful adjunction $\mathcal{S}\leftrightarrows Alg_{\mathcal{P}}(\mathcal{S})$ (so far, everything can be extracted from HA).
Now let $\mathcal{P}\to \mathcal{Q}$ be a map of 1-colored $\infty$- operads. This induces a forgetful functor of algebras in spaces $Alg_{\mathcal{Q}}(\mathcal{S}) \to Alg_{\mathcal{P}}(\mathcal{S})$ from which we get by abstract nonsense a canonical map $T_{\mathcal{P}}(X)\to T_{\mathcal{Q}}(X)$. I need to know that this map is indeed the obvious thing one would expect. That is, that it is induced from the map of symmetric sequences $\{\mathcal{P}(n)\}_{n\ge0} \to \{\mathcal{Q}(n)\}_{n\ge0}$ which is itself induced from the map of operads.
This is definitely true, but I am looking for a rigorous (and preferably short) argument for it. My hope is that a comprehensive treatment of 1-colored $\infty$-operads in terms of symmetric sequences will include enough stuff to deduce this from.
Remarks on the literature:
In Higher Algebra section 6.3 the approach via symmetric sequences is mentioned, but not developed formally. This whole thing (and much more) follows morally from  this paper which identifies 1-colored $\infty$-operads with analytic $\infty$-monads, but the identification is not so transparent (to me), especially when working with $\infty$-operads using the HA model. There are model category approaches to this, but again the comparisons are usually not so simple and as a first choice I would prefer to stay in the quasi-category model.

REPLY [2 votes]: As far as I have understood your question, you ask the following question:
(When I write category in the following, I always mean $\infty$-category.)
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a symmetric monoidal category compatible with small colimits (i.e. $\mathcal{C}$ admits small colimits that are preserved by the tensorproduct in each variable).
Denote $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ the category of symmetric sequences in $\mathcal{C}$ viewed as a monoidal category with the composition product. 
An associative algebra $\mathcal{O} $ in $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ gives rise to a monad $\mathrm{T}_{ \mathcal{O} }, $ i.e. an associative algebra in $\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})$ (endofunctors of $\mathcal{C}$) 
via a monoidal functor $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}) \to \mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})$ that sends $ \mathcal{O} $ to $ \mathrm{T}_{\mathcal{O}},$
where $ \mathrm{T}_{\mathcal{O}}(X) := \coprod_{n\ge0}(\mathcal{O}(n)\otimes \mathrm{X}^n)//\Sigma_n.$
Given a monad $\mathrm{T} $ denote $ \mathrm{Alg}_{  \mathrm{T}} ( \mathcal{C} )$ its category of algebras.
Given a monoid $\mathcal{O} $ in $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ its category $ \mathrm{Alg}_{  \mathcal{O} } ( \mathcal{C} )$ is the category of left modules over $ \mathcal{O} $ in $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ on objects of $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ that belong to $\mathcal{C} \subset \mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}).$
You ask how one can show the existence of an equivalence
$ \mathrm{Alg}_{  \mathcal{O} } ( \mathcal{C} )\simeq  \mathrm{Alg}_{  \mathrm{T}_{ \mathcal{O} } } ( \mathcal{C} )$ over $ \mathcal{C}  $ natural in $\mathcal{O} \in \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}))  . $
To answer this question, some preparations:   
Denote $\Sigma \simeq \coprod_{ \mathrm{n} \geq 0 } \mathrm{B}( \Sigma_{\mathrm{n}} )$ the category of finite sets and isomorphisms.
Then one can define $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}) = \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) \simeq \prod_{ \mathrm{n} \geq 0 } \mathrm{Fun}(\mathrm{B}( \Sigma_{\mathrm{n}}), \mathcal{C}). $ 
We have a small colimits preserving fully faithful functor $\iota: \mathcal{C} \subset \prod_{ \mathrm{n} \geq 0 } \mathrm{Fun}(\mathrm{B}( \Sigma_{\mathrm{n}}), \mathcal{C})$ that is the identity on the first factor and the constant functor with image the initial object of $ \mathcal{C} $ on every other factor.
As next I define the composition product via the Day-convolution on $\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}):$
We endow $\Sigma$ with the symmetric monoidal structure given by the coproduct of finite sets.
Then $\Sigma$ is the free symmetric monoidal category on the contractible category, i.e. for every symmetric monoidal category $ \mathcal{E} $ 
evaluation at the set with one element $1 \in \Sigma $ yields an equivalence
$$ \mathrm{Fun}^\otimes (\Sigma,  \mathcal{E}) \simeq \mathcal{E}, $$
where $\mathrm{Fun}^\otimes (\Sigma,  \mathcal{E}) $ denotes the category of symmetric monoidal functors $\Sigma \to \mathcal{E}.$
We endow the functor-category $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}) = \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) $ with the Day-convolution symmetric monoidal structure.
The Day-convolution symmetric monoidal structure on $ \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) $ restricts to the full subcategory $\iota: \mathcal{C} \subset \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) $ so that $\iota$ gets a symmetric monoidal functor.
We have a unique small colimits preserving symmetric monoidal functor $\mathcal{S} \to \mathcal{C} $ starting at the category of spaces $\mathcal{S}$ (endowed with the cartesian symmetric monoidal structure) that sends the contractible space to the tensorunit $ \mathbb{1}_{ \mathcal{C}} $ of $ \mathcal{C} $ and gives rise to a symmetric monoidal functor $ \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{S}) \to \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})$ on Day-convolutions.
Composing with the symmetric monoidal Yoneda-embedding 
$ \Sigma  \simeq \Sigma^\mathrm{op} \subset \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{S}) $ we get a symmetric monoidal functor $\phi: \Sigma \to \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) $ 
that sends $\mathrm{n} \in \Sigma $ to the symmetric sequence concentrated in degree $\mathrm{n} $ with value $\Sigma_{\mathrm{n}} \times \mathbb{1}_{ \mathcal{C}}. $ 
$ \phi $  satisfies the following universal property:
The Day-convolution $ \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})$ is a symmetric monoidal category compatible with small colimits and we have a 
small colimits preserving symmetric monoidal functor $ \iota: \mathcal{C} \to \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}). $
For every symmetric monoidal category $ \mathcal{D} $ compatible with small colimits equipped with a small colimits preserving symmetric monoidal functor $ \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D} $
composition with $\phi: \Sigma \to \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) $ yields an equivalence $$ \mathrm{Fun}^\otimes_{ \mathcal{C} } (\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) ,  \mathcal{D}) \to \mathrm{Fun}^\otimes (\Sigma,  \mathcal{D})\simeq  \mathcal{D},   $$
where $ \mathrm{Fun}^\otimes_{ \mathcal{C} } (\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) ,  \mathcal{D}) $ denotes the category of symmetric monoidal functors $\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})  \to \mathcal{D}$ compatible with the symmetric monoidal functors from  $\mathcal{C}.$
So the equivalence $\mathrm{Fun}^\otimes_{ \mathcal{C} } (\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) ,  \mathcal{D}) \to \mathrm{Fun}^\otimes (\Sigma,  \mathcal{D})\simeq  \mathcal{D}$ evaluates at $\phi(1)\in \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})$, i.e. at the symmetric sequence concentrated in degree $1 $ with value $ \mathbb{1}_{ \mathcal{C}}. $ 
Let $\mathrm{Z} \in  \mathcal{D} $ corresponding to $ \bar{\mathrm{Z}} \in \mathrm{Fun}^\otimes_{ \mathcal{C} } (\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) ,  \mathcal{D}) .$
Then for every $\mathrm{X} \in \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})$ we have a canonical equivalence $$\bar{\mathrm{Z}}( \mathrm{X}  ) \simeq \coprod_{  \mathrm{n} \geq 0 } \iota(\mathrm{X}_{ \mathrm{n}}) \otimes_{\Sigma_{\mathrm{n}} } \mathrm{Z}^{ \otimes  \mathrm{n}}.$$
Taking $\mathcal{D}= \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})$ we get a canonical equivalence $$ \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) \simeq \mathrm{Fun}^\otimes_{ \mathcal{C} } (\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) ,  \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})).$$
The category $\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) \simeq \mathrm{Fun}^\otimes_{ \mathcal{C} } (\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) ,  \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})) $ carries a monoidal structure given by composition.
Given a monoidal category $\mathcal{B} $ denote $\mathcal{B}_\mathrm{rev }$
the reverse monoidal structure on $ \mathcal{B} $ with $\mathrm{X} \otimes_{ \mathcal{B}_\mathrm{rev } }  \mathrm{Y} = \mathrm{Y} \otimes_{ \mathcal{B}  }  \mathrm{X}.$
One can define the composition product on  $\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})$ to be the reverse monoidal structure of the monoidal structure on $ \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) \simeq \mathrm{Fun}^\otimes_{ \mathcal{C} } (\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}) ,  \mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C}))  $ given by composition.
Denote $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ the category $\mathrm{Fun}(\Sigma, \mathcal{C})$ endowed with the composition product.
For $\mathrm{X}, \mathrm{Z} \in \mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ their composition product $\mathrm{X} \circ \mathrm{Z} $ is by definition 
$$ (\bar{\mathrm{Z}} \circ  \bar{\mathrm{X}}) (\phi(1)) \simeq \bar{\mathrm{Z}} (\mathrm{X}) \simeq \coprod_{  \mathrm{n} \geq 0 } \iota(\mathrm{X}_{ \mathrm{n}}) \otimes_{\Sigma_{\mathrm{n}} } \mathrm{Z}^{ \otimes  \mathrm{n}}. $$
Let $\mathrm{Y} \in \mathcal{C} $. Then $\mathrm{X} \circ \iota(\mathrm{Y} ) \simeq  \coprod_{  \mathrm{n} \geq 0 } \iota(\mathrm{X}_{ \mathrm{n}}) \otimes_{\Sigma_{\mathrm{n}} } \iota(\mathrm{Y})^{ \otimes  \mathrm{n}} \simeq \iota(\coprod_{  \mathrm{n} \geq 0 } \mathrm{X}_{ \mathrm{n}} \otimes_{\Sigma_{\mathrm{n}} } \mathrm{Y}^{ \otimes  \mathrm{n}}). $ 
As a monoidal category $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ acts on itself from the left.
So by the line above the left action of $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ on $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ restricts to a left action of $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ on $ \mathcal{C} \subset \mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$.
Given a monoid $\mathcal{O}$ of $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ denote $\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathcal{O}}(\mathcal{C}):= \mathrm{LMod}_{ \mathcal{O} } ( \mathcal{C}) $ the category of left modules in $\mathcal{C}$ over $\mathcal{O}$ with respect to the left action of $\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ on $ \mathcal{C}. $
By the theory of endomorphism objects Higher Algebra 4.7.2 the category $\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C}) $ admits a monoidal structure given by composition that acts on $ \mathcal{C}$ in a universal way:
This implies that the left action of 
$\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ on $ \mathcal{C} $ is the pullback of the
universal left action of $\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})$ on $ \mathcal{C}$
along a unique monoidal functor $\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})  \to \mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})$.
For every $\mathrm{Y} \in \mathcal{C} $ and $\mathcal{O} \in \mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ one has $\mathrm{T}(\mathcal{O} )( \mathrm{Y}) \simeq \coprod_{  \mathrm{n} \geq 0 } \mathcal{O}_{ \mathrm{n}} \otimes_{\Sigma_{\mathrm{n}} } \mathrm{Y}^{ \otimes  \mathrm{n}}. $ 
So $\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})  \to \mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})$ induces a functor $\mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}))  \to \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C}))$ that sends an associative algebra in $ \mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ to its associated monad on $\mathcal{C}$.
As the left action of 
$\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ on $ \mathcal{C} $ is the pullback of the
universal left action of $\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})$ on $ \mathcal{C}$ along $\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})  \to \mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})$, 
the map $$ \Phi: \mathrm{LMod}( \mathcal{C}) \to \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})) \times \mathcal{C} $$ of cartesian fibrations over $\mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}))$ is the pullback of the map 
$$ \Psi: \mathrm{LMod}( \mathcal{C}) \to \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})) \times \mathcal{C} $$ of cartesian fibrations over $\mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})) $ along the functor 
$ \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}))  \to \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C}))$.
Denote ${\mathrm{Cat}_\infty}_{/ \mathcal{C} }$ the category of small $(\infty$-) categories over $\mathcal{C}. $
$\Psi$ classifies a functor $\alpha: \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C}))  \to {\mathrm{Cat}_\infty}_{/ \mathcal{C} }$ that sends a monad to its category of algebras.
$\Phi $ classifies a functor $\beta: \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})) \to {\mathrm{Cat}_\infty}_{/ \mathcal{C} }$ that sends an associative algebra in $ \mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C})$ to its category of algebras.
As $ \Phi $ is the pullback of $ \Psi$ along the functor 
$ \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}))  \to \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C}))$, the functor $\beta$ factors as 
$$\mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}))  \to \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Fun}( \mathcal{C}, \mathcal{C})) \xrightarrow{\alpha} {\mathrm{Cat}_\infty}_{/ \mathcal{C} },$$ which provides a  canonical equivalence 
$$ \mathrm{Alg}_{  \mathcal{O} } ( \mathcal{C} )\simeq  \mathrm{Alg}_{  \mathrm{T}( \mathcal{O} ) } ( \mathcal{C} ) $$ over $ \mathcal{C}  $ natural in $\mathcal{O} \in \mathrm{Alg}(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathcal{C}))  . $
