Abstract

The method of constructing of Grothendieck's topology basing on a neighbourhood grammar, defined on the category of syntax diagrams is described in the article. Syntax diagrams of a formal language are the multigraphs with nodes, signed by symbols of the language's alphabet. The neighbourhood grammar allows to select correct syntax diagrams from the set of all syntax diagrams on the given alphabet by mapping an each correct diagram to the cover consisted of the grammar's neighbourhoods. Such the cover gives rise to Grothendieck's topology on category of correct syntax diagrams extended by neighbourhoods' diagrams. An each object of the category may be mapped to the set of meanings (abstract senses) of this syntax construction. So, the contrvariant functor from category of correct syntax diagrams to category of sets is defined. The given category of contravariant functors likes to be seen as the convenient means to think about relations between syntax and semantic of a formal language. The sheaves of set defined on category of contravariant functors are the objects that satisfy of compositionality principle defined in the semantic analysis.

Hochschild cohomology of the second kind: Koszul duality and Morita invariance

We define Hochschild cohomology of the second kind for differential graded (dg) or curved algebras as a derived functor in the twisted derived category. The Hochschild cohomology of the second kind of a curved or curved algebra $A$ is then equivalent to the classical Hochschild cohomology of the twisted derived dg category of $A$, which is often geometrically meaningful. Examples include the category of $\infty$-local systems on a topological space, the bounded derived category of a complex manifold and the category of matrix factorizations. We also show that Hochschild cohomology of the second kind is preserved under (nonconilpotent) Koszul duality and weak equivalences of curved algebras. The main technical ingredient is a new bimodule version of Koszul duality.

Localization of lax symmetric monoidal categories

In this note, we explain in some detail how one can fiberwise localize a (co)lax symmetric monoidal infinity-category. This construction was tacitly used in Section 5 of our recent paper "On the equivalence of the Lurie's infinity-operads and dendroidal infinity-operads". Version 2: A stronger version of the result is proven. Given a locally cocartesian fibration $f:X\to B$ and a collection of marked arrows $X^\circ\subset f^{-1}(B^{eq})$ in $X$ closed under locally cocartesian liftings, we prove that the localization $\mathcal{L}(X,X^\circ)\to B$ is also a locally cocartesian fibration whose fibers are localizations of the fibers of $f$. This result is applied to the description of localizations of lax symmetric monoidal categories.

Cocompactness and Presentability

We give a short proof that $κ$-cocompact objects in a presentable category are subterminal. As our main result, we extend this to the setting of presentable $\infty$-categories. A consequence is that an $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$ such that both $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{C}^\mathsf{op}$ are presentable is a small complete lattice, extending a classical theorem of Gabriel-Ulmer. Along the way, we prove a nilpotence result for phantom maps in general pointed presentable $\infty$-categories. Additionally, we show that a strengthening of our main result is equivalent to the existence of a proper class of measurable cardinals.
