The original motivation behind condensed infinity-groupoids is to create well-behaved categories of mathematical structures such as condensed HZ-module spectra in which one could do derived analytic geometry using category-theoretic methods without resorting to not-so-well behaved categories of topological spaces.
However, David Corfield offers another motivation for condensed infinity-groupoids in the blog post Pyknoticity vs Cohesiveness on the nCafé, as a way to extend cohesion to the -adic case (see at condensed cohesion):
Mathematics rather than physics is the subject of chapter 5 of my book, where I’m presenting cohesive HoTT as a means to gain some kind of conceptual traction over the vast terrain that is modern geometry. However I’m aware that there are some apparent limitations, problems with ‘-adic’ forms of cohesion, cohesion in algebraic geometry, and so on. In the briefest note (p. 158) I mention the closely related pyknotic and condensed approaches of, respectively, (Barwick and Haine) and (Clausen and Scholze).
A condensed infinity-groupoid or condensed anima is a hypercomplete (infinity,1)-sheaf of infinity-groupoids on the pro-étale (infinity,1)-site of the point, small relative to a universe .
Equivalently, it is an (infinity,1)-functor
from the opposite (infinity,1)-category of profinite spaces to the (infinity,1)-category Infinity-Grpd of infinity-groupoids which are small relative to a universe , such that the natural maps
and
are homotopy equivalences for any profinite space and , and the natural map
is a homotopy equivalence for any hypercover of profinite spaces .
When restricted to the site of extremally disconnected compact Hausdorff spaces, hyperdescent is automatic, so the simplest equivalent definition of a condensed infinity-groupoid is simply a finite-product-preserving (infinity,1)-functor , see (Barwick-Haine, corollary 2.4.4).
The (infinity,1)-category of condensed infinity-groupoids is a locally small locally cartesian closed (infinity,1)-pretopos.
Peter Scholze speculates in this comment on the nCafé that seem to form a predicative elementary (infinity,1)-topos. If true, then is an example of an elementary (infinity,1)-topos which is not a Grothendieck (infinity,1)-topos.
In the model of infinity-groupoids as simplicial sets/Kan complexes, condensed infinity-groupoids are sometimes referred to as condensed anima.
