Combinatorics and Algebra of Tensor Calculusby Sen Hu, Xuexing Lu, Yu Ye - arXiv
In this paper, we reveal the combinatorial nature of tensor calculus for strict tensor categories and show that there exists a monad which is described by the coarse-graining of graphs and characterizes the algebraic nature of tensor calculus.

Higher Operads, Higher Categoriesby Tom Leinster - arXiv
Higher-dimensional category theory is the study of n-categories, operads, braided monoidal categories, and other such exotic structures. It draws its inspiration from topology, quantum algebra, mathematical physics, logic, and computer science.
