Abstract

In this article the author endows the functor category [B(Z2),Gpd] with the structure of a type-theoretic fibration category with a univalent universe using the so-called injective model structure. It gives us a new model of Martin-Löf type theory with dependent sums, dependent products, identity types and a univalent universe. This model, together with the model (developed by the author in an other work) in the same underlying category together with the very same universe that turned out to be provably not univalent with respect to projective fibrations, provides an example of two Quillen equivalent model categories that host different models of type theory. Thus, we provide a counterexample to the model invariance problem formulated by Michael Shulman.

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.
