$\infty$-topos and localic $\infty$-groupoids?
It's known that every classical (Grothendieck) topos is equivalent to the topos of sheaves on a localic groupoid (a groupoid in the category of locales).
For the record, this is proved by, starting ...

Homotopic version of Freyd's AT category observations
Freyd was the first to formalize a striking comparison between abelian categories and topoi, showing that their exactness properties can be jointly captured by the axioms of AT categories, and the ...

Characterization of geometric morphisms without referring explicitly to the left adjoint?
Recall that a functor $f_\ast : \mathcal E \to \mathcal F$ between toposes is called a geometric morphism if it has a left exact left adjoint $f^\ast$. Is there an intrinsic characterization of such ...

Is every colimit-generator dense in an $\infty$-topos?
Recall that there are various senses in which a full subcategory $G \subseteq C$ may "generate" a category $C$. For example, in order of increasing strength (under reasonable conditions):

What's wrong with the obvious argument that the unstable motivic category is an $\infty$-topos?
Fix a base scheme $S$, and let $Sm_S$ be the (ordinary) category of smooth schemes over $S$.
Denote by $Psh(Sm_S)$ the $\infty$-category of $\infty$-presheaves on $Sm_S$.

Does every exponentiable ($\infty$-)topos have enough points?
The notion of a coherent topos is a somewhat "refined" finiteness condition to put on a topos. One reason it is considered a "fruitful" notion is the Deligne completeness theorem, ...
