Moduli Operad over F_1

In this paper we answer a question raised in [25], Sec. 4, by showing that the genus zero moduli operad {M_(0,n+1)} can be endowed with natural descent data that allow it to be considered as the lift to Spec Z of an operad over F_1. The relevant descent data are based on a notion of constructible sets and constructible functions over F_1, which describes suitable differences of torifications with a positivity condition on the class in the Grothendieck ring. More generally, we do the same for the operads {T_(d,n+1)} (whose components were) introduced in [5]. Finally, we describe a blueprint structure on {M_(0,n)} and we discuss from this perspective the genus zero boundary modular operad {M^0_(g,n+1)}.
