Hochschild homology, lax codescent, and duplicial structure

Richard Garner, Stephen Lack and Paul Slevin

Vol. 3 (2018), No. 1, 1–31
Abstract

We study the duplicial objects of Dwyer and Kan, which generalize the cyclic objects of Connes. We describe duplicial objects in terms of the decalage comonads, and we give a conceptual account of the construction of duplicial objects due to Böhm and Ştefan. This is done in terms of a 2-categorical generalization of Hochschild homology. We also study duplicial structure on nerves of categories, bicategories, and monoidal categories.

Keywords
comonads, distributive laws, cyclic category, duplicial objects, Hochschild homology
