A morphism $f:X\to Y$ is called *$\Box$-closed* if $$\array{ X&\to &\Box X \\ \downarrow^f &&\downarrow^{\Box f} \\ Y&\to& \Box Y }$$ is a pullback square. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma #daggerclosed} ###### Theorem The class of $\Box$-closed morphisms $C$ satisfies the following closure properties: (1) Every equivalence is $\Box$-closed. (2) The composite of two $\Box$-closed morphisms is $\Box$-closed. (3) The left cancellation property is satisfied: If $h=g\circ f$ and $h$ and $g$ are $\Box$-closed, then so is $f$. (4) Any retract of a $\Box$-closed morphism is $\Box$-closed. (5) The class is closed under pullbacks which are preserved by $\Box$. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Remark A class of $\Box$-closed morphism which is closed under pullback is an *admissible structure* defining a *geometry* in the sense of Lurie's DAG. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Theorem (Formally étale subslices are reflective andcoreflecive) (1) Let $C/X$ be a slice of $C$. The full sub-$(\infty,1)$-category $(C/X)_\Box\stackrel{\iota}{\hookrightarrow} C/X$ on those morphisms into $X$ which are $\Box$-closed is reflective and coreflective; i.e. $\iota$ fits into an adjoint triple $$ (C/X)_\Box \stackrel{\overset{L}{\leftarrow}}{\stackrel{\hookrightarrow}{\underset{Et}{\leftarrow}}} (C/X) \,. $$ (2) By the Giraud-Lurie axioms $C/X$ and $(C/X)_\Box$ are $(\infty,1)$-toposes. (3) In particular $C_\Box:=(C/*)_\Box\hookrightarrow C$ is a reflective and coreflective subtopos. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Remark (relation of reflective subcategories and reflective factorization systems) =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Example ($\mathbf{\Pi}_inf$-closed morphism) Let $H$ be a cohesive $(\infty,1)$-topos equipped with infinitesimal cohesion $$(i_!\dashv i^*\dashv i_*):H\stackrel{i_*}{\to} H_th$$ Then the class of formally étale morphisms in $H$ equals the class of $\mathbf{\Pi}_inf:=i_*i^*$-closed morphisms in $H_th$ which happen to lie in $H$. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Theorem For the classs $E$ of $\mathbf{\Pi}_inf$-closed morphisms in $C$ we have in addition to the above closure properties also the following ones: (1) If in a pullback square in $C$ the left arrow is in $E$ and the bottom arrow is an effective epimorphism, then the right arrow is in $E$. (2) Every morphism $D\to *$ from a discrete object to the terminal object is in $E$. (3) $E$ is closed under colimit (taken in the arrow category). (4) $E$ is closed under forming diagonals. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Definition ($\mathbf{\Pi}_inf$-closed object) An object of $H$ is called *formally étale object* if there is a formally étale (effective) epimorphism (called *atlas*) from a $0$-truncated object into $X$. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Theorem (De Rham theorem for formally étale objects){#DR} The de Rham theorem holds for any formally étale object for which the de Rham theorem holds level-wise in regard to the Cech nerve induced from the atlas. =-- ## Derived structures and models ### $U$-modelled higher manifolds +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Definition (Cover, Atlas) Let $U\to X$ be a morphism in an $(\infty,1)$-category. (1) We call $U\to X$ a *cover of $X$* if it is an effective epimorphism. (2) We call $U\to X$ a *relative cover wrt. a class $M$ of morphisms* if its pullback along every morphism in $M$ is a cover of $U$ and lies in $M$. (3) We call $U\to X$ a *$n$-atlas of $X$*, if it is a cover and $U$ is $n$-truncated. A $0$-atlas we call just an *atlas*. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Theorem (Hausdorff manifold) (1) A manifold $X$ is a paracompact if there is a jointly epimorphic set of monomorphisms $\phi_i:\mathbb{R}^n\to X$ such that the corresponding Cech groupoid $\zeta_\phi$ is degree-wise a coproduct of copies of $\mathbb{R}^n$. (2) $X$ is hausdorff if $\zeta_\phi$ is moreover étale. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Remark and Definition (1) In a cohesive $(\infty,1)$-topos $H$, $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be defined solely in terms of the internal logic of $H$. (2) The previous theorem suggests to call an object $X\in H$ an *$U$-modelled hausdorff $\infty$-manifold* or an *$U$-modelled étale $\infty$-manifold* if there is an étale atlas $U\to X$ of $X$. =-- ### $\infty$-orbifolds +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Definition ($\kappa$-compact object, $\kappa$-compact cover, relatively $\kappa$-compact atlas) Let $C$ be an $(\infty,1)$-category. Let $U\to X$ be a morphism. (1) $U$ is called *$\kappa$-compact* if $C(X,-)$ preserves $\kappa$-filtered colimits. (2) $U\to X$ is called *$\kappa$-compact cover* if it is a cover and $U$ is $\kappa$-compact. (3) $U\to X$ is called *relative $\kappa$-compact cover* if it is a relative cover wrt. all morphisms with $\kappa$-compact domain. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Remark The class of relative $\kappa$-compact covers is closed under composition, pullbacks, and contains all isomorphisms. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Definition ($\infty$-orbifold) An *$\infty$-orbifold* is defined to be a groupoid object in $H$ posessing a relative $\kappa$-compact atlas which is also $\mathbf{\Pi}_inf$-closed. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Corollary (De Rham theorem for $\infty$-orbifolds) As a corollary to the [De Rham Theorem for étale objects](#DR) we obtain the de Rham Theorem for $\infty$-orbifolds. =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Observation and Definition (Inertia $\infty$-orbifold) The free loop space object of an $\infty$-orbifold is an $\infty$-orbifold and is called the *inertia $\infty$-orbifold of $X$*. =-- ## Models ### $(\diamond\dashv \Box)$ What we described so far dualizes to the case of an *idempotent comonad*. Also the situation where we have adjoint modalities - i.e an adjoint pair $(\diamond\dashv \Box)$ where $\Box$ is an idempotent monad and $\diamond$ is an idempotent comonad is of interest. ### Synthetic differential geometry We will describe the foundations of the theory of *synthetic differential geometry* in terms of adjoint modalities. The $(\infty,1)$-topos $H_th$ of synthetic differential $\infty$-groupoids is an infinitesimal cohesive neighborhood of the $(\infty,1)$-topos $H$-of smoooth $\infty$-groupoids. +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Definition An object $X\in H_th$ we call to be an *infinitesimal smooth locus* if $\diamond X$ is contractible. $$\diamond X\simeq *$$ =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Lemma (Tangent space) For every $X\in H_th$ the$\Box$-unit $\eta^\Box_X$ evaluates in every infinitesimal smooth locus $D$ to the tangent bundle. =-- +-- {: .proof} ###### Proof $$(\eta_X^\Box:X(D)\to (\Box X)(D))=([D,X]\to [D,\Box X]\simeq( [\diamond D,X]\simeq [*,X]\simeq X)$$ =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Proposition (submersion -, immersion -, and étale map of smooth paracompact manifolds) A morphism $f:X\to Y$ of smooth paracompact manifolds in $H_th$ is a submersion / imersion / étale morphism iff the induced morphism $$X\to Y\times_{\Box Y} \Box X$$ is an epimorphism / monomorphism / isomorphism. =-- +-- {: .proof} ###### Proof Every $Z\in H_th$ can be written as $Z=U\times D$ where $U\in H$ and $D$ is an infinitesimal smooth locus. We compute: $$\array{ X(U\times D)=[U\times D, X]=[U,[D,X]] \\ \Box X(U\times D)=[U\times D,\Box X]=[U,[D,\Box X]]=[U,[\diamond D,X]]=[U,X]} $$ and analogously for $Y$. =-- ### Étale groupoids +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Theorem Let $X$ be an étale simplicial manifold being a Kan fibrant object in the projective model structure on simplicial presheaves equipped with an atlas $f:U\to X$. Then $f$ is $\Box$-closed. =-- +-- {: .proof} ###### Proof $f$ is $\Box$-closed precisely if $U$ is equivalent to the homotopy pullback of $$\array{ &&\Box U \\ &&\downarrow^{\Box f} \\ X&\stackrel{\eta^\Box_X}{\to}&\Box X }$$ =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Lemma =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Theorem (Classical étale groupoids) =-- +-- {: .num_lemma} ###### Theorem (Formally étale $\infty$-groupoids are étale simplicial manifolds) =--
