Abstract

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.

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.

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.

Gabriel--Zisman Localizations, Products, Coproducts, and Product Categories

This paper studies (co)products and additive structures under Gabriel--Zisman localization $Q:\mathcal A\longrightarrow\mathcal A[S^{-1}]$. Examples show that localization may destroy existing (co)products or fail to preserve (co)products that remain, even when $Q$ is additive. For a set-indexed family $(\mathcal A_i,S_i)_{i\in I}$, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the canonical functor $\big(\prod_{i\in I}\mathcal A_i\big)\big[\big(\prod_{i\in I}S_i\big)^{-1}\big]\longrightarrow\prod_{i\in I}\mathcal A_i[S_i^{-1}]$ to be full or faithful. These criteria yield compatibility with $I$-indexed (co)products for localizations admitting a calculus of fractions or arising from model categories, provided the relevant (co)products exist and the designated classes of morphisms are closed under them.
