Hm, shouldn't it be the case that, given a symmetric monoidal infinity category, and an E_n-algebra R, the "free R-module functor: C-->LMod_R is E_{n-1}-monoidal? Does anyone know where this would be in Lurie?
I have a gut feeling that Rune would know the answer to that question
00:17
Hah, well, Rune knows the answer to all my questions.
Here's another question: given a space $X$, we can look at the map $Y\to X$ that takes all of $Y$ to some point in $X$. What's (simplicial) presheaf $X\to Top$ associated to this? The one that takes the target of $Y$ to $Y$ and everything else to... the empty space?
I guess, to make sure that $Y\to X$ is a fibration, we need to assume that $Y$ is a Kan complex.
00:30
@JonathanBeardsley everything in the connected component of the given point gets sent to Y, other components get sent to empty set.
JB, questions like that can usually be answered by looking at the classical case of a groupoid
If you do that, you get exactly Arpon's answer
01:02
The cartesianness condition over a groupoid implies that to be a grothendieck fibration if x~y in the base, they have equivalent fibres and are therefore locally constant. Also I think it means that every categorical fibration over a Kan complex is a bicartesian fibration, if I am not mistaken

Since it might be interesting for users of this room, perhaps it might be worth mentioning that there is a new room called Geometry+physics.

 Geometry+physics

A room for people interested in interactions between geometry,...

@HarryGindi yeah, right. good point. I was sort of thinking about it incorrectly. and I kept thinking "but if it's anything deserving of the name fibration, the fibers should be equivalent..." but that's the way to explain that. thanks to you and @Arpon!

@JonathanBeardsley in case you didn't resolve this yet, i believe (under hypotheses on C) this is 4.8.5.16–17 (using that E_n-Alg(C) = Alg(Alg(...(Alg(C)))))
I'm afraid this might be a bit of a dumb question, but what is the localizing subcategory of spectra generated by HZ?
@TomBachmann IIRC, localizing at HZ is the same as localizing at Z, which is the identity
18:56
what I mean is, what is the subcategory generated by HZ under colimits and desuspensions. Certainly this category consists of HZ-local objects (and contains all bounded above spectra), but does it contain everything?
Yeah, sorry, I was trying to figure out if what i said gave a solution to your actual question, but got stuck.
19:07
@Arpon ah good call!
20:07
Similarly, is there a space which is not a filtered colimit of truncated spaces?

If R is a non-zero (homotopy) ring spectrum such that R \wedge HZ = 0, then F(HZ, R) = 0 and consequently R is not in the localizing subcategory generated by HZ. Apparently R=K(1) is an example.
@TomBachmann it's definitely not all spectra. everything in that localizing category has trivial homology for all the Morava K-theories, and has a bunch of other goofy properties like not having any nontrivial maps to a finite p-torsion complex
@TylerLawson indeed. I discover time and again that I do not know enough "classical" homotopy theory. Do you also happen to know the answer for spaces?
It's a perfectly natural question with a tricky answer. For spaces everything is easier because truncated spaces like K(A,0) or K(Z,1) generate everything
@TomBachmann there's so much math now it's hard to find a time that one doing X does know enough classical Y
@TylerLawson clearly every space is a colimit of 0-truncated spaces. But is also every space a filtered colimit of truncated (clearly not n-truncated for some fixed n) spaces?
21:46
Ah, my apologies. I strongly suspect not, but I don't know how to show it currently.
 
1 hour later…
22:47
I see. Thanks!
