Abstract

We study En\mathbb{E}_n-Koszul duality for pairs of algebras of the form C(ΩnX;k)C(X;k)\mathrm{C}_{\bullet}(\Omega^{n}_*X;\Bbbk) \leftrightarrow \mathrm{C}^{\bullet}(X;\Bbbk), and the closely related question of nn-affineness for Betti stacks. It was expected, but not known, that En\mathbb{E}_n-Koszul duality should induce a kind of Morita equivalence between categories of iterated modules. We establish this rigorously by proving that the (,n)(\infty,n)-category of iterated modules over C(Ωn+1X;k)\mathrm{C}_{\bullet}(\Omega_*^{n+1}X;\Bbbk) is equivalent to the (,n)(\infty,n)-category of quasi-coherent sheaves of (,n1)(\infty,n-1)-categories on cSpec(C(X;k))\mathrm{cSpec}(\mathrm{C}^{\bullet}(X;\Bbbk)), where cSpec(C(X;k))\mathrm{cSpec}(\mathrm{C}^{\bullet}(X;\Bbbk)) is the cospectrum of C(X;k)\mathrm{C}^{\bullet}(X;\Bbbk). By the monodromy equivalence, these categories are also equivalent to the category of higher local systems on XX, nLocSysCatn1(X;k)n\mathbf{LocSysCat}^{n-1}(X;\Bbbk). Our result is new already in the classical case n=1n=1, although it can be seen to recover well known formulations of E1\mathbb{E}_1-Koszul duality as a Morita equivalence of module categories (up to appropriate completions of the tt-structures). We also investigate (higher) affineness properties of Betti stacks. We give a complete characterization of nn-affine Betti stacks, in terms of the 00-affineness of their iterated loop space. As a consequence, we prove that nn-truncated Betti stacks are nn-affine; and that πn+1(X)\pi_{n+1}(X) is an obstruction to nn-affineness.
