A monoidal Grothendieck construction for $\infty$-categories

Abstract

We construct a monoidal version of Lurie's un/straightening equivalence. In more detail, for any symmetric monoidal \infty-category C\mathbf C, we endow the \infty-category of coCartesian fibrations over C\mathbf C with a (naturally defined) symmetric monoidal structure, and prove that it is equivalent the Day convolution monoidal structure on the \infty-category of functors from C\mathbf C to Cat\mathbf{Cat}_\infty. In fact, we do this over any \infty-operad by categorifying this statement and thereby proving a stronger statement about the functors that assign to an \infty-category C\mathbf C its category of coCartesian fibrations on the one hand, and its category of functors to Cat\mathbf{Cat}_\infty on the other hand.
