Globalizing and stabilizing global $\infty$-categories
Abstract
We consider the question of cocompleting partially presentable parametrized -categories in the sense of arXiv:2307.11001. As our main result we show that in certain cases one may compute such relative cocompletions via a very explicit formula given in terms of partially lax limits. We then apply this to equivariant homotopy theory, building on the work of op. cit. and arXiv:2301.08240, to conclude that the global -category of globally equivariant spectra is the relative cocompletion of the global -category of equivariant spectra. Evaluating at a group we obtain a description of the -category of -global spectra as a partially lax limit, extending the main result of arXiv:2206.01556 for finite groups to -global homotopy theory. Finally we investigate the question of stabilizing global -categories by inverting the action of representation spheres, and deduce a second universal property for the global -category of globally equivariant spectra, similar to that of arXiv:2302.06207.
