Unifying Koszul dualities via point-set models

Abstract

The classical bar-cobar adjunction between dg algebras and dg coalgebras goes back to the origins of differential homological algebra as developed by Cartan, Eilenberg, Moore, and many others, and is part of the broader framework of Koszul duality. In recent years, several $\infty$-categorical analogues of this adjunction have been developed, notably by Lurie, Francis--Gaitsgory, and Heuts. However, there is no comparison in the literature between the classical chain-level constructions and their higher-categorical counterparts, and in fact the two constructions are not quite compatible. In this paper we provide a unified framework relating these different forms of Koszul duality in the differential graded setting. We construct a commutative square of adjunctions, called the inclusion-restriction square, intertwining the classical operadic bar-cobar adjunction with its completed variant due to Le Grignou--Lejay. We show that this square induces an $\infty$-categorical adjunction between algebras and their Koszul dual coalgebras, recovering in particular the differential graded case of Lurie's bar-cobar adjunction, and explain precisely how our constructions relate to those of Francis--Gaitsgory and Heuts.

Persistent Simple-homotopy invariants via discrete Morse theory

Persistent homology records the evolution of homological features along a filtration, but does not retain finer information related to simple-homotopy theory. In this paper, we develop two approaches to capturing such information for filtered simplicial complexes. We first introduce the Morse complexity profile, which records the minimal number of critical simplices at each filtration level. We study its invariance and stability properties and develop computable approximations using several discrete Morse matchings. We then introduce a persistent version of Whitehead torsion and show that it is invariant under both levelwise homotopy equivalence and interleaving equivalence of filtrations.

Signed GLMY Homology of Signed Graphs via Double Covers

We define a signed GLMY chain complex over $\mathbb{R}$ for signed digraphs using sheet-labelled regular paths. The complex is naturally isomorphic to the deck anti-invariant subcomplex of the ordinary GLMY complex on the signed double cover. The double-cover realization yields switching invariance and recovers ordinary GLMY homology for switching-balanced signings. Bidirected completion gives an orientation-independent homology theory for signed graphs. For a signed graph, the zero-dimensional homology identifies with the kernel of the signed Laplacian and has dimension equal to the number of balanced connected components. Signed GLMY homology is functorial under signed weak morphisms, which combine vertex maps with switching functions and allow compatible arrow contractions. For signed digraphs, the all-positive reduction retains the orientation sensitivity of ordinary GLMY homology, while explicit computations show additional sensitivity to the arrow signs. For a fixed digraph with five vertices and nine arrows, we classify all 512 arrow signings and obtain exactly four signed Betti vectors. Precisely 16 signings have nonzero second signed GLMY homology.

Gabriel Spectrum of Persistence Categories

We determine the Gabriel spectrum of a category of sheaves of vector spaces in purely topological terms. For every topological space $X$, we prove that the Gabriel spectrum of ${\mathbf{Sh}}(X)$ is homeomorphic to ${\mathrm{Sk}}({\mathrm{Sob}}(X))$, where ${\mathrm{Sob}}(X)$ denotes the sobrification of $X$ and ${\mathrm{Sk}}$ indicates passage to the Skula topology. The proof is based on a classification of indecomposable injective sheaves and a characterization of localizing subcategories in terms of Skula-open subsets. We show that the Gabriel spectrum is always Hausdorff, zero-dimensional, and totally disconnected, and that it is compact if and only if $X$ is Noetherian. This leads to computations of Gabriel spectra arising in persistence theory. In particular, the Gabriel spectrum of the category of persistence modules over ${\mathbb R}^n$ is homeomorphic to the space of ideals of ${\mathbb R}^n$ with a natural topology.
