The shape of an ($\infty$-)topos as a monad

Let $\mathcal E$ be an $\infty$-topos, and let $t : \mathcal E \to Spaces$ be the unique geometric morphism to $Spaces$. The composite $t_\ast t^\ast : Spaces \to Spaces$ is a left-exact accessible ...

Kan extensions in Grothendieck school

Considering both the ubiquity of Kan extensions in category theory (as MacLane stated, 'The notion of Kan extensions subsumes all the other fundamental concepts of category theory.'), its early ...

What is known about the homotopy type of the classifier of subobjects of simplicial sets?

For the presheaf topos $\mathrm{PSh}(C)$, the subobject classifier is the presheaf $\Omega$ such that For $c \in C$, $\Omega(c)$ is the set of all subobjects of the functor $\mathrm{Hom}(-, c)$ For $...

One-point compactification of a condensed set

Is there a notion of a 'one-point compactification of a condensed set'? $\textbf{Motivation:}$ For a locally compact space $X$, there is a notion of maps that vanish at infinity. A continuous function ...

Higher Topos Theory- what's the moral?

I've often seen Lurie's Higher Topos Theory praised as the next "great" mathematical book. As someone who isn't particularly up-to-date on the state of modern homotopy theory, the book seems ...

Axioms of derivators

I would like to enter the world of derivators. We can find a little history here and there about the limitations of triangulated categories and the motivation to enhance them, but also to compute ...

Who introduced the notion of 2-categories?

Wikipedia seems to have an answer "The concept of 2-category was first introduced by Charles Ehresmann in his work on enriched categories in 1965. The more general concept of bicategory (or weak ...

Does the (1-)topos structure on simplicial sets have any homotopy-theoretic significance?

To give an example of a peculiar feature of simplicial sets that I cannot remember encountering anywhere in the context of homotopy theory: every simplicial set $X$ possesses partial map classifier $X\...

Relative homology in Fargues-Scholze paper

if $f:X\to Y$ is a map of small v-stacks, Scholze and Fargues define relative homology as the left adjoint to the $f^{\star}$. They say the left adjoint exist because $f$ is a slice in $v$-site (they ...

Indexing categories of derivators

It is not clear to me the role of the domain and target in the definition of prederivators. For instance, the classical references put the domain as $\mathit{Dia}$, others as $\mathit{Cat}$ itself. ...

Is every conservative, left exact left adjoint comonadic, $\infty$-categorically?

Consider a conservative left adjoint $G : C \to D$ between complete 1-categories. By Beck's theorem, the following are equivalent: $G$ is comonadic. $G$ preserves $G$-split equalizers. (2) is ...

What's an example of an $\infty$-topos not equivalent to sheaves on a Grothendieck site?

My question is as in the title: Does anyone have an example (supposing one exists) of an $\infty$-topos which is known not to be equivalent to sheaves on a Grothendieck site? An $\infty$-topos is as ...

Fibrant objects in Bousfield localization of homotopy pullback closure of Nisnevich hypercovers

Let $M$ be a model topos and $S$ a set of morphisms, there exists a set of morphism $\bar{S}$ which is generated by the $S$-local equivalences which is closed under homotopy pullbacks in $M$. Suppose ...

Is there a topos theoretic interpretation/proof of Quillen's Theorem A?
