(2,1)-quasitopos?
structures in a cohesive (∞,1)-topos
Inside a local (∞,1)-topos there are objects that may be thought of as ∞-groupoids equipped with extra structure (“cohesive structure” if is even a cohesive (∞,1)-topos). These are the concrete objects in .
Let be a local (∞,1)-topos.
Since is by definition a full and faithful (∞,1)-functor this means that
is a geometric embedding. By the discussion at reflective sub-(∞,1)-category this means that is the localization of an (∞,1)-category at a class of morphisms. It factors therefore canonically through the (∞,1)-quasitopos of -separated -sheaves
We call the (∞,1)-quasitopos of concrete objects of the local -topos .
We say an object is -concrete if the canonical morphism is (n-1)-truncated.
If a 0-truncated object is -concrete, we call it just concrete.
For an ∞-cohesive site, a 0-truncated object in the (∞,1)-topos over is concrete precisely if it is a concrete sheaf in the traditional sense.
For and , the -concretification of is the morphism
that is the left factor in the decomposition with respect to the n-connected/n-truncated factorization system of the -unit
By that very n-connected/n-truncated factorization system we have that is an -concrete object.
