Theta-Categories and Tannakian duality

Algebraic Geometry 2025-08-06 v1

Abstract

We introduce a notion of Θ\Theta-categories, which is a refinement of the notion of symmetric monoidal \infty-categories. We use this notion to prove a Tannakian duality statement, relating Θ\Theta-categories with fpqc-stacks by means of a certain stack of fiber functors in the context of Θ\Theta-categories. This provides, over a base ring of arbitrary characteristic, a strong link between Tannakian Θ\Theta-categories and the schematic homotopy types.
