Abstract

We characterize tt-structures in stable \infty-categories as suitable quasicategorical factorization systems. More precisely we show that a tt-structure t\mathfrak{t} on a stable \infty-category C\mathbf{C} is equivalent to a normal torsion theory F\mathbb{F} on C\mathbf{C}, i.e. to a factorization system F=(E,M)\mathbb{F}=(\mathcal{E},\mathcal{M}) where both classes satisfy the 3-for-2 cancellation property, and a certain compatibility with pullbacks/pushouts.
