Abstract

We establish a duality between monads and monadic morphisms in any $(\infty,2)$-category and characterize monadic morphisms in a wide class of examples. This duality unifies several dualities between algebraic structures and their representations, and provides a general mechanism for transferring structure from a monad to its $\infty$-category of algebras. This transfer of structure yields uniform constructions of tensor products for algebras over lax symmetric monoidal and oplax symmetric monoidal monads, extending classical tensor products for modules and operadic algebras. Using this framework, we construct a relative tensor product for algebras over lax monoidal monads, a tensor product for algebras over Hopf $\infty$-operads and equip the $\infty$-category of operadic algebras with canonical enrichment.

The category of nominal sets is locally monoidal closed

The category Nom of nominal sets was proposed by Pitts and Gabbay as a setting for the semantics of abstract syntax with variable bindings. It is well-known that Nom is a topos, also known as the Schanuel topos, and in particular it follows that Nom is locally closed, i.e., every slice category Nom/X is cartesian-closed. In this paper, we show that Nom has a much stronger property: every monoidal (closed) structure on Nom induces a monoidal (closed) structure on all slice categories Nom/X. One monoidal closed structure of particular interest on Nom is the separated product A * B, whose right adjoint A -* B is called the separated function space. In particular, it follows that Nom is locally separatedly closed.

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.
