Abstract

We study how the concept of higher-dimensional extension which comes from categorical Galois theory relates to simplicial resolutions. For instance, an augmented simplicial object is a resolution if and only if its truncation in every dimension gives a higher extension, in which sense resolutions are infinite-dimensional extensions or higher extensions are finite-dimensional resolutions. We also relate certain stability conditions of extensions to the Kan property for simplicial objects. This gives a new proof of the fact that a regular category is Mal'tsev if and only if every simplicial object is Kan, using a relative setting of extensions.

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.
