Abstract

We develop the theory of locally rigid and rigid symmetric monoidal \infty-categories over an arbitrary base VCAlg(PrL)\mathcal{V}\in\mathrm{CAlg}(\mathbf{Pr}^\mathrm{L}). Among other things, we prove that every locally rigid commutative V\mathcal{V}-algebra arises as a ``completion'' of a rigid commutative V\mathcal{V}-algebra. Along the way, we introduce and study ``V\mathcal{V}-atomic morphisms'', which are analogues of compact morphisms over an arbitrary base V\mathcal{V}.
