Abstract

We develop the theory of reflective subfibrations on an \infty-topos E\mathcal{E}. A reflective subfibration LL_\bullet on E\mathcal{E} is a pullback-compatible assignment of a reflective subcategory DXE/X\mathcal{D}_X\subseteq \mathcal{E}{/X}, for every XEX \in \mathcal{E}. Reflective subfibrations abound in homotopy theory, albeit often disguised, e.g., as stable factorization systems. We prove that LL-local maps (i.e., those maps that belong to some DX\mathcal{D}_X) admit a classifying map, and we introduce the class of LL-separated maps, that is, those maps with LL-local diagonal. LL-separated maps are the local class of maps for a reflective subfibration LL'_\bullet on E\mathcal{E}. We prove this fact in the compantion paper "LL'-localization in an \infty-topos". In this paper, we investigate some interactions between LL_\bullet and LL'_\bullet and explain when the two reflective subfibrations coincide.
