A (1,1)-topos (i.e. an ordinary Grothendieck topos) is called localic if the following two equivalent conditions hold:
- It is the category of sheaves on a (0,1)-site (i.e. a poset with a Grothendieck topology).
- It is a left exact localization of the category of presheaves on a (0,1)-category (= a poset).
The category of localic topoi is reflective in the category of all topoi, and equivalent to the category of locales.
For $0\le m\le n \le \infty$, Higher topos theory 6.4.5.7-8 shows that an $(n,1)$-topos is $m$-localic iff the analogue of the first condition holds: it is the category of $(n-1)$-sheaves on an $(m,1)$-site. In 6.4.5.9 it is remarked that this is equivalent to it being a topological localization of the category of $\infty$-presheaves on an $(m,1)$-category. The category of $m$-localic $(n,1)$-topoi is reflective in all $(n,1)$-topoi, and equivalent to the category of $(m,1)$-topoi.
When $n<\infty$, every localization of an $(n,1)$-topos is topological, so the two conditions are still equivalent, but this fails when $n=\infty$. So what can be said about the larger class of $(\infty,1)$-topoi that are merely a left exact localization of $\infty$-presheaves on some $(m,1)$-category? I believe this is equivalently the class of cotopological localizations of $m$-localic $(\infty,1)$-topoi, or the class of $(\infty,1)$-topoi that have a generating set consisting of $(m-1)$-truncated objects. Does it have a name? Has it been studied?
