In recent work with Alexander Berglund, we studied the relationships among the notions of Koszul duality for dg algebras, Grothendieck descent for morphisms of dg algebras and Hopf-Galois extensions of dg algebras.  We showed in particular if B is a multiplicative acyclic closure of a dg algebra A, and a dg Hopf algebra H coacts on B by algebra maps, then H is Koszul dual to A if and only if the inclusion map of A into B is an H-Hopf-Galois extension satisfying Grothendieck descent.
In this talk I will briefly recall the notions of Koszul duality, homotopic Grothendieck descent and homotopic Hopf-Galois extension, then describe the common categorical framework into which all of these notions fit and sketch the proof of the result stated above.  I will also explain how to how to construct families of examples based on Hirsch algebras to which our framework can be applied.
