May 7, 2021 at 21:54 comment added Charles Rezk There's one dangling thread here: what is the "universal $\infty$-connected object". The "universal object" is the inclusion functor $i\colon \mathcal{S}^{\mathrm{fin}}\to \mathcal{S}$ as an object in $\mathrm{Fun}(\mathcal{S}^{\mathrm{fin}},\mathcal{S})$. According to what is here, the "universal $\infty$-connected object" is the sheafification of $i$ with respect to the atomic topology on $(\mathcal{S}^{\mathrm{fin}})^{op}$. What does this look like?

Aug 30, 2015 at 15:08 comment added Jacob Lurie The localization can be described more concretely: it's sheaves with respect to the Grothendieck topology where every morphism generates a covering. Equivalently, it's functors F: {finite spaces} -> {spaces} (or you can do a pointed version if you like) with the property that for any X, F(X) is the totalization of the cosimplicial space given by applying F to the "Cech nerve" of the map X->* (in the opposite of finite spaces). This is much larger than the class of 1-excisive functors: it contains all n-excisive functors for any n, and more (such as products of n-excisive functors as n varies).
Aug 28, 2015 at 17:17 comment added Marc Hoyois As you say, any $1$-excisive functor $\mathcal{S}^\mathrm{fin}_* \to \mathcal{S}$ belongs to this localization, since $(*,S^0)$ is ∞-connected, but I don't know if there's an unpointed analog of this (what's $\mathrm{Exc}^1(\mathcal{S}^\mathrm{fin},\mathcal{S})$ anyway? torsors under bundles of spectra?). In any case, I don't see why the reverse inclusion should hold, but I'm no expert in calculus either...
Aug 28, 2015 at 17:16 comment added Marc Hoyois Right, the classifying ∞-topos for (pointed) $n$-connected objects is the left exact localization of $\mathrm{Fun}(\mathcal{S}^\mathrm{fin}_{(*)}, \mathcal{S})$ generated by the map $\tau_{\leq n} \to *$, and for $n=\infty$ it's their intersection.
Aug 28, 2015 at 14:32 comment added Simon Henry If I'm correct (but I'm not an expert on Goodwillie calculus so I might be wrong), the "universal object" (corresponding to the sheaf "represented" by the terminal object) is the system of spectra $(X,S)$ with $X=\{*\}$ and $S$ the sphere spectrum. So it is in particular $\infty$-connected, so the $\infty$-topos of system of spectra should at least be a subtopos of the classyfing topos for $\infty$-connected object. (so in particular a subtopos of the topos of $(-1)$-connected object... But looking at thos classyfing topos for $n$-connected object for finite $n$ seem to be a very good idea !
Aug 28, 2015 at 13:20 comment added Marc Hoyois So the ∞-topos that classifies $(-1)$-connected objects is the subtopos of $\mathrm{Fun}(\mathcal{S}^\mathrm{fin},\mathcal{S})$ consisting of functors that are RKE of their restriction to nonempty spaces. Does a $1$-excisive functor have this property?
Aug 28, 2015 at 13:08 comment added Simon Henry Well I wouldn't mind if one get a description of the classifying topos for pointed $\infty$-connected spaces instead. but even like that I don't see reason for point parametrized spectra to be the solution......
Aug 28, 2015 at 12:59 comment added Marc Hoyois Being a localization of presheaves on $\mathcal{S}^\mathrm{fin,op}_*$, the ∞-topos of parametrized spectra should classify pointed objects with some property. So it can't be exactly the classifying topos you're looking for.
