Abstract

We regard a geometric theory classified by a topos as a syntactic presentation for the topos and develop tools for finding such presentations. Extensions of geometric theories, which can add axioms, symbols and sorts, are treated as objects in their own right, to be able to build up complex theories from parts. The role of equivalence extensions, which leave the theory the same up to Morita equivalence, is investigated. Motivated by the question what the big Zariski topos of a non-affine scheme classifies, we show how to construct a syntactic presentation for a topos if syntactic presentations for a covering family of open subtoposes are given. For this, we introduce conditional theory extensions that require part of the data a model is made of only under some condition given in the form of a closed geometric formula. We also give a general definition for systems of interdependent theory extensions, to be able to talk about compatible syntactic presentations not only for the open subtoposes in a given cover but also for their finite intersections. An important concept for finding classified theories of toposes in concrete situations is that of theories of presheaf type. We develop several techniques for extending a theory while preserving the presheaf type property, and give a list of examples of simple extensions which can destroy it. Finally, we determine a syntactic presentation of the big crystalline topos of a scheme. In the case of an affine scheme, this is accomplished by showing that the biggest part of the classified theory is of presheaf type and transforming the site defining the crystalline topos into the canonical presheaf site for this theory, while the remaining axioms induce the Zariski topology. Then we can apply our results on gluing classifying toposes to obtain a classified theory even in the non-affine case.

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.
