Internal higher topos theory

Abstract

We develop the theory of topoi internal to an arbitrary \infty-topos B\mathcal B. We provide several characterisations of these, including an internal analogue of Lurie's characterisation of \infty-topoi, but also a description in terms of the underlying sheaves of \infty-categories, and we prove a number of structural results about these objects. Furthermore, we show that the \infty-category of topoi internal to B\mathcal B is equivalent to the \infty-category of \infty-topoi over B\mathcal B, and use this result to derive a formula for the pullback of \infty-topoi. Lastly, we use our theory to relate smooth geometric morphisms of \infty-topoi to internal locally contractible topoi.
