Koszul duality for algebras over infinity-operads

Category Theory 2026-02-10 v1 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new notion of algebra over a linear \infty-operad and a corresponding notion of coalgebra over an \infty-cooperad. We next extend the Koszul duality between linear \infty-operads and linear \infty-cooperads from our previous paper (arXiv:2105.11943) to their categories of algebras and coalgebras. This duality theorem specialises to the known duality in the case of algebras over classical (non-infinity) operads, but our proof is different. In fact, it is based on a much more general duality between presheaves and copresheaves on a category of trees. The latter duality is a priori independent of the (co)algebra structures, but we show that it can be lifted to (co)presheaves supporting such a structure. Based on this duality, we define the homology of an algebra over an \infty-operad, and prove that it can be described in terms of the homology of the same category of trees with coefficients in a presheaf.
