B.2 Induced factorization systems[00KC]

In this subsection, we record an assortment of useful results that allow us to obtain new factorization systems from old ones, in roughly increasing order of complexity. Specifically, we give sufficient conditions for inducing factorization systems on subcategories (Observation B.2.1), on \(\infty\)-categories of functors (Lemma B.2.3), on the total \(\infty\)-categories of Cartesian fibrations (Lemma B.2.4), through reflective localizations (Lemma B.2.5), and through monadic adjunctions (Lemma B.2.7).

We begin by recording necessary and sufficient conditions for a factorization system to restrict to a subcategory.

[00KD]

Observation B.2.1.

Let \(\mathcal C\) be an \(\infty\)-category equipped with a factorization system \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\), let \(\mathcal C_0 \subseteq \mathcal C\) be a subcategory, and let us write \(\mathcal L_0 \coloneqq \mathcal L\cap \mathcal C_0\) and \(\mathcal R_0 \coloneqq \mathcal R\cap \mathcal C_0\). Then, the pair \((\mathcal L_0,\mathcal R_0)\) forms a factorization system on \(\mathcal C_0\) if and only if the following conditions are satisfied.

  1. For any solid commutative square ([00JD]) in \(\mathcal C_0\) with \(l \in \mathcal L\) and \(r \in \mathcal R\), the unique lift in \(\mathcal C\) (guaranteed by the orthogonality relation \(\mathcal L\bot \mathcal R\)) also lies in \(\mathcal C_0\).

  2. For any morphism \(c \xrightarrow{f} d\) in \(\mathcal C_0\), both morphisms in the factorization \(c \rightarrow\mathrm{Fact}_{(\mathcal L,\mathcal R)}(f) \rightarrow d\) also lie in \(\mathcal C_0\).

In particular, if \(\mathcal C_0\) is a full subcategory of \(\mathcal C\), then \((\mathcal L_0,\mathcal R_0)\) forms a factorization system if and only if \(\mathrm{Fact}_{(\mathcal L,\mathcal R)}(f)\) lies in \(\mathcal C_0\) for any morphism \(f\) in \(\mathcal C_0\).

[00KG]

Lemma B.2.2.

Let \(\mathcal C\) be an \(\infty\)-category equipped with a factorization system \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\), let \(\mathcal C_0 \subseteq \mathcal C\) be a subcategory, and suppose that \(\mathcal L_0 \coloneqq \mathcal L\cap \mathcal C_0\) and \(\mathcal R_0 \coloneqq \mathcal R\cap \mathcal C_0\) fulfill conditions (1) and (2) of observation B.2.1, so that they induce a factorization system \((\mathcal L_0, \mathcal R_0)\) on \(\mathcal C_0\). Then we have:

  1. If \(\mathcal C_0\) and \(\mathcal C\) are presentable, \((\mathcal L, \mathcal R)\) is of small generation, and the inclusion \(\mathcal C_0 \rightarrow\mathcal C\) admits a left adjoint \(L\colon \mathcal C\rightarrow\mathcal C_0\), then \((\mathcal L_0, \mathcal R_0)\) is of small generation and \(L(\mathcal L) \subseteq \mathcal L_0\).

  2. If \(\mathcal C_0\) and \(\mathcal C\) are furthermore presentably \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal for a small operad \(\mathcal O\), the left adjoint \(L\colon \mathcal C\rightarrow\mathcal C_0\) is \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal, and \((\mathcal L, \mathcal R)\) is of small generation and compatible with the \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal structure, then so is \((\mathcal L_0, \mathcal R_0)\).

[00KH]

Proof.

For (1), let \(L\colon \mathcal C\rightarrow\mathcal C_0\) denote the left adjoint, let \(S\) be a generating set for \(\mathcal L\) and define \(S_0\) to be the set of \(\mathcal C_0\)-morphisms \(S_0 \coloneqq L(S)\). By adjunction, a morphism \(f\) in \(\mathcal C_0\) is in \(S_0^{\bot}\) iff it is in \(S^{\bot} = \mathcal R\), and hence that \(S_0^{\bot} = \mathcal R\cap \mathcal C_0,\) proving that \((\mathcal L_0, \mathcal R_0)\) is generated by \(S_0\). \(L(\mathcal L) \subseteq \mathcal L_0\) follows from the adjunction.

For (2), it follows from the proof of (1) that for every \(X\in \underline{\mathcal{O}}\), the class \((\mathcal L_0)_X\) is generated by \((S_0)_X \coloneqq L_X(S_X)\) where \(S_X\) is a generating set for \(\mathcal L_X\). Hence, to check that \((\mathcal L_0, \mathcal R_0)\) is compatible with the \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal structure, it suffices by lemma B.1.18 to show that for every operation \((X_1, \ldots, X_n) \rightarrow X\) in \(\mathcal O\), the induced functor \((\mathcal C_0)_{X_1}\times \cdots \times (\mathcal C_0)_{X_n} \rightarrow(\mathcal C_0)_{X}\) carries morphisms in \(L_{X_1}(S_{X_1}) \times \cdots \times L_{X_n}(S_{X_n})\) to a morphism in \((\mathcal L_0)_X\). But since \(L\) is \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal, such a family of morphism is carried to the image under \(L_X\) of their product in \(\mathcal C_X\). Since \(\mathcal L\) is compatible with the monoidal structure, that product is in \(\mathcal L_X\) and hence the morphisms are carried to a morphism in \(L_X(\mathcal L_X) \subseteq (\mathcal L_0)_X\). ◻

We now show that an \(\infty\)-category of functors automatically inherits a factorization system from one on the target.

[00KI]

Lemma B.2.3.

Let \(\mathcal C\) be an \(\infty\)-category equipped with a factorization system \((\mathcal L, \mathcal R)\), and let \(\mathcal I\) be a small \(\infty\)-category.

  1. The \(\infty\)-category \(\mathrm{Fun}(\mathcal I, \mathcal C)\) admits a factorization system \((\mathcal L^\mathcal I,\mathcal R^\mathcal I)\), in which (as the exponential notation suggests) a natural transformation between functors lies in \(\mathcal L^\mathcal I\) (resp. \(\mathcal R^\mathcal I\)) if and only if its components all lie in \(\mathcal L\) (resp. \(\mathcal R\)).

  2. If \(\mathcal C\) is presentable and \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\) is of small generation, then \(\mathrm{Fun}(\mathcal I,\mathcal C)\) is presentable and \((\mathcal L^\mathcal I,\mathcal R^\mathcal I)\) is of small generation.

  3. If \(\mathcal O\) is a small operad, \(I\) is \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal, \(\mathcal C\) is presentably \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal and \((\mathcal L, \mathcal R)\) is compatible with the \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal structure on \(\mathcal C\), then \((\mathcal L^I, \mathcal R^I)\) is compatible with the Day convolution \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal structure on \(\mathrm{Fun}(I, \mathcal C)\).

[00KM]

Proof.

Part ([00KJ]) is a restatement of [Lur09, Cor. 5.2.8.18]. To prove part ([00KK]), assume that \(\mathcal C\) is presentable and let \(S\) be a set of morphisms in \(\mathcal C\) that generates \(\mathcal L\). We note first that \(\mathrm{Fun}(\mathcal I,\mathcal C)\) is presentable by [Lur09, Prop. 5.5.3.6]. Now, for each functor \({\sf pt}\xrightarrow{i} \mathcal I\) (selecting an object of \(\mathcal I\)) we obtain an adjunction Original paper diagram It follows that \(\mathcal R^\mathcal I\) is precisely the right orthogonal to the (small) space of morphisms \[S' \coloneqq \bigsqcup_{i \in \iota_0 \mathcal I} \bigsqcup_{f \in S} i_!(f)\] in \(\mathrm{Fun}(\mathcal I,\mathcal C)\). From here, Proposition B.1.14 implies that \((\mathcal L^\mathcal I,\mathcal R^\mathcal I)\) is generated by \(S'\) (and in particular that \(\mathcal L^\mathcal I\) is the smallest saturated class of morphisms containing \(S'\)).

For part ([00KL]), given an n-ary operation \((X_1, \ldots, X_n) \rightarrow X\) in \(\mathcal O\), the induced functor \(\mathrm{Fun}(I_{X_1}, \mathcal C_{X_1}) \times \cdots \times \mathrm{Fun}(I_{X_n}, \mathcal C_{X_n}) \rightarrow\mathrm{Fun}(I_X, \mathcal C_X)\) is computed as the left Kan extension of \(I_{X_1} \times \cdots \times I_{X_n} \rightarrow\mathcal C_{X_1} \times \cdots \times \mathcal C_{X_n} \rightarrow\mathcal C_X\) against \(I_{X_1}\times \cdots \times I_{X_n} \rightarrow I_X\). As the left class of a factorization system, \(\mathcal L\) is closed under colimits in \(\mathcal C\). Therefore, the image of natural transformations \(f_i \in \mathrm{Fun}(I_{X_i}, \mathcal C_{X_i})\) which are componentwise in \(\mathcal L\) will again be componentwise in \(\mathcal L\). ◻

A simple example of a factorization system arises from a Cartesian fibration \(\mathcal E\xrightarrow{p} \mathcal B\): the total \(\infty\)-category \(\mathcal E\) admits a factorization system \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\) in which \(\mathcal L= p^{-1}(\mathcal B^\simeq)\) and \(\mathcal R\) consists of the \(p\)-Cartesian morphisms. This can be generalized as follows.

[00KN]

Lemma B.2.4.

Fix an \(\infty\)-category \(\mathcal B\) and a functor \(\mathcal B^\mathrm{op}\xrightarrow{F} \widehat{\mathrm{Cat}}_\infty^{\text{f.s.}, \mathcal R}\) (recall Definition B.1.5). For each \(b \in \mathcal B\), let us write \((\mathcal L_b,\mathcal R_b)\) for the given factorization system on \(F(b)\). Moreover, let us write \(\mathcal E\xrightarrow{p} \mathcal B\) for the Cartesian fibration associated to \(F\).

  1. The \(\infty\)-category \(\mathcal E\) admits a factorization system \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\), described as follows.

    1. A morphism \(e \xrightarrow{\alpha} f\) lies in \(\mathcal L\) if and only if the morphism \(p(e) \xrightarrow{p(\alpha)} p(f)\) in \(\mathcal B\) is an equivalence and moreover the morphism \(e \rightarrow p(\alpha)^*(f)\) in \(\mathcal E_{p(e)} \simeq F(p(e))\) lies in \(\mathcal L_{p(e)}\).

    2. A morphism \(e \xrightarrow{\alpha} f\) lies in \(\mathcal R\) if and only if the morphism \(e \rightarrow p(\alpha)^*(f)\) lies in \(\mathcal R_{p(e)}\).

  2. Suppose that \(\mathcal B\) is small and that \(F\) factors through the subcategory \(\Pr^{R,\text{f.s.},\mathcal R} \subset \widehat{\mathrm{Cat}}_\infty^{\text{f.s.},\mathcal R}\) (recall Definition B.1.15). Then, the factorization system of part ([00KP]) is also of small generation. More specifically, if for each \(b \in \mathcal B\) the set \(S_b\) generates the class \(\mathcal L_b\), then the set \(S \coloneqq \bigsqcup_{b \in \mathcal B} S_b\) generates the class \(\mathcal L\) (considering each \(S_b\) as defining a set of morphisms in the fiber \(\mathcal E_b \simeq F(b)\)).

[00KR]

Proof.

Part ([00KP]) is straightforward. Thereafter, for part ([00KQ]) it suffices to show that \(\mathcal R= S^\bot\) (so that \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\) is indeed the factorization system generated by \(S\) via proposition B.1.14). The containment \(\mathcal R\subseteq S^\bot\) follows from the fact that the Cartesian monodromy functors preserve the right classes, while the containment \(\mathcal R\supseteq S^\bot\) follows from the explicit description of \(\mathcal R\). ◻

We now provide sufficient conditions for descending a factorization system through a reflective localization.

[00KS]

Lemma B.2.5.

Suppose that Original paper diagram is a reflective localization and that \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\) is a factorization system on \(\mathcal C\). Suppose further that \(L(\mathcal L)\) is stable under retracts and that \(RL(\mathcal R) \subseteq \mathcal R\).

  1. The pair \((L(\mathcal L),L(\mathcal R))\) forms a factorization system on \(\mathcal D\), in which the factorization of a morphism \(d \xrightarrow{f} d'\) is given by the lower composite in the commutative diagram Original paper diagram Moreover, considering \(\mathcal D\) as a full subcategory of \(\mathcal C\) (via \(R\)), the right class \(L(\mathcal R)\) is intersected from \(\mathcal R\) (i.e. we have \(RL(\mathcal R) = \mathcal R\cap R(\mathcal D)\)).

  2. Suppose further that \(\mathcal C\) and \(\mathcal D\) are presentable and that \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\) is generated by a set \(S\) of morphisms in \(\mathcal C\). Then, \((L(\mathcal L),L(\mathcal R))\) is generated by the set \(L(S)\) of morphisms in \(\mathcal D\).

  3. Suppose that \(\mathcal C\) is (symmetric) monoidal compatible with both the reflective localization (recall Subsection A.8.9) and with the factorization system (recall Definition B.1.12). Then, the induced (symmetric) monoidal structure on \(\mathcal D\) is compatible with the factorization system \((L(\mathcal L),L(\mathcal R))\).

[00KX]

Warning B.2.6.

Although the right adjoint to a reflective localization is (by definition) the inclusion of a full subcategory, the factorization system given by Lemma B.2.5.([00KT]) is generally not the same as that of Observation B.2.1. More specifically, although its right class is simply the restriction of the larger right class, its left class is not generally the restriction of the larger left class: using the notation of Lemma B.2.5, although we do have \(RL(\mathcal R) = \mathcal R\cap R(\mathcal D)\), in general \(RL(\mathcal L)\) and \(\mathcal L\cap R(\mathcal D)\) are distinct. Indeed, by Observation B.2.1, these factorization systems coincide if and only if for every morphism \(f\) in \(\mathcal D\) the object \(\mathrm{Fact}_{(\mathcal L,\mathcal R)}(R(f)) \in \mathcal C\) lies in the image of \(R\).71

[00KY]

Proof of Lemma B.2.5.

We begin with part ([00KT]).

Note first that in diagram ([00KU]), the lower diagonal morphisms respectively lie in \(L(\mathcal L)\) and \(L(\mathcal R)\), so this is indeed a factorization of the desired type.

Next, \(L(\mathcal L)\) is stable under retracts by assumption. To see that \(L(\mathcal R)\) is also stable under retracts, consider a retract \(g\) in \(\mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal D)\) of some \(L(f) \in L(\mathcal R)\). Applying \(R\), we find that \(R(g)\) is a retract in \(\mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal C)\) of \(RL(f) \in RL(\mathcal R)\). Since by assumption \(RL(\mathcal R) \subseteq \mathcal R\), it follows that \(RL(f) \in \mathcal R\), and hence \(R(g) \in \mathcal R\) since \(\mathcal R\) is stable under retracts. It follows that \(g \simeq LR(g) \in L(\mathcal R)\), as desired.

We now verify the orthogonality relation \(L(\mathcal L) \bot L(\mathcal R)\). For this, given any \(f \in \mathcal L\) and any \(g \in \mathcal R\), we must show that \(L(f) \bot L(g)\). By adjunction, this is equivalent to showing that \(f \bot RL(g)\). But by assumption we have \(RL(g) \in RL(\mathcal R) \subseteq \mathcal R\), and so the claim follows from the fact that \(\mathcal L\bot \mathcal R\).

We now verify both containments that together constitute the claim that \(RL(\mathcal R) = \mathcal R\cap R(\mathcal D)\). First of all, by assumption we have \(RL(\mathcal R) \subseteq \mathcal R\), and moreover clearly \(L(\mathcal R) \subseteq \mathcal D\) and hence \(RL(\mathcal R) \subseteq R(\mathcal D)\). So indeed, we have \(RL(\mathcal R) \subseteq \mathcal R\cap R(\mathcal D)\). In the other direction, consider an arbitrary element \(R(f) \in \mathcal R\cap R(\mathcal D)\). In particular we have \(R(f) \in \mathcal R\), so \(LR(f) \in L(\mathcal R)\), so \(R(f) \simeq RLR(f) \in RL(\mathcal R)\). So indeed, we have \(RL(\mathcal R) \supseteq \mathcal R\cap R(\mathcal D)\).

We now prove part ([00KV]). By Proposition B.1.14, it suffices to show that \(L(\mathcal R) = L(S)^\bot\). To verify the containment \(L(\mathcal R) \subseteq L(S)^\bot\), it is equivalent by adjunction to check that \(RL(\mathcal R) \subseteq S^\bot\), and this follows from the fact that \(RL(\mathcal R) \subseteq \mathcal R= S^\bot\). To verify the containment \(L(\mathcal R) \supseteq L(S)^\bot\), we observe that for any \(f \in L(S)^\bot\), by adjunction we have \(R(f) \in S^\bot = \mathcal R\), so indeed \(f \simeq LR(f) \in L(\mathcal R)\).

We conclude by proving part ([00KW]). Note that it suffices to prove the claim in the monoidal case. And here, the claim follows from the observation that \[L(\mathcal L) \otimes^\mathcal DL(\mathcal L) \coloneqq L(RL(\mathcal L) \otimes^\mathcal CRL(\mathcal L)) \simeq L(\mathcal L\otimes^\mathcal C\mathcal L) \subseteq L(\mathcal L) ~,\] in which the equivalence and the containment respectively follow from the compatibilities of the reflective localization with the monoidal structure \(\otimes^\mathcal C\) and with the factorization system \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\). ◻

We now turn to our final auxiliary result, which gives sufficient conditions for inducing a factorization system through a monadic adjunction.

[00KZ]

Lemma B.2.7.

Fix a monadic adjunction Original paper diagram between presentable \(\infty\)-categories (where \(T \coloneqq UF\) denotes the underlying monad). Suppose that \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\) is a factorization system on \(\mathcal C\) of small generation, and suppose further that \(T\) commutes with geometric realizations and preserves \(\mathcal L\). Then, \(\mathcal D\) admits a factorization system \((\mathcal L',\mathcal R')\) of small generation, where \(\mathcal L' = U^{-1}(L)\) and \(\mathcal R' = U^{-1}(\mathcal R)\).

Furthermore, assume that \(\mathcal C\), \(\mathcal D\) are presentably \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal for a small \(\infty\)-operad \(\mathcal O\), and the left adjoint \(\mathcal C\rightarrow\mathcal D\) is \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal. If the \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal structure on \(\mathcal C\) is compatible with the factorization system, then the \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal structure on \(\mathcal D\) is compatible with the induced factorization system on \(\mathcal D\).

[00L0]

Proof.

We begin by fixing a small set \(S\) of morphisms in \(\mathcal C\) that generates \(\mathcal L\). By Proposition B.1.14, we obtain a factorization system \((\mathcal L',\mathcal R')\) on \(\mathcal D\) generated by its image \(F(S)\). So, it remains to show that \(\mathcal L' = U^{-1}(L)\) and that \(\mathcal R' = U^{-1}(R)\).

We first show that \(\mathcal R' = U^{-1}(R)\). For this, note that by definition \(\mathcal R' = F(S)^\perp\). Hence, it suffices to show that a morphism lies in \(F(S)^\perp\) precisely if its image under \(U\) lies in \(\mathcal R\), which follows from the adjunction \(F \dashv U\) (and the fact that \(\mathcal R= S^\perp\)).

We now show that \(\mathcal L' = U^{-1}(\mathcal L)\). For this, let us write \(\mathcal L'' \coloneqq U^{-1}(\mathcal L)\), so that our goal is to show that \(\mathcal L' = \mathcal L''\). Since \(\mathcal L' = \overline{F(S)}\), it is equivalent to show that \(\overline{F(S)} = \mathcal L''\). In other words, it suffices to verify that \(\mathcal L''\) is the smallest saturated class of morphisms in \(\mathcal D\) that contains \(F(S)\).

We deduce this in steps. First of all, the fact that \(\mathcal L''\) contains \(F(S)\) follows from the assumption that the monad \(T\) preserves \(\mathcal L\) and the fact that \(\mathcal L\) contains \(S\).

We now show that \(\mathcal L''\) is saturated by verifying the conditions of Definition B.1.13.

Condition ([00JW]) is clear: \(\mathcal L''\) defines a wide subcategory of \(\mathcal D\).

We now verify condition ([00JX]), i.e. we show that the full subcategory \(\mathcal L'' \subseteq \mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal D)\) is closed under small colimits. For this, fix a small \(\infty\)-category \(\mathcal I\) as well as a functor \(\mathcal I\xrightarrow{X} \mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal D)\) that factors through \(\mathcal L''\). We wish to show that the colimit \(\mathrm{colim}_\mathcal I(X)\) (computed in \(\mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal D)\)) also lies in \(\mathcal L''\), i.e. that \(U(\mathrm{colim}_\mathcal I(X)) \in \mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal C)\) lies in \(\mathcal L\). Now, since the adjunction \(F \dashv U\) is monadic, every object \(D \in \mathcal D\) admits a functorial bar resolution: it is the geometric realization of the levelwise free simplicial object \(FT^\bullet U(D) \in \mathrm{Fun}(\Delta^{\mathrm{op}}, \mathcal D)\) [Lur17, Prop. 4.7.3.14]. Using this, we may compute \(\mathrm{colim}_\mathcal I(X)\) as the colimit of the functor Original paper diagram Namely, we obtain the string of equivalences \[\begin{aligned} U(\mathrm{colim}_\mathcal I(X)) & \simeq U(\mathrm{colim}_{\mathcal I\times \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}}(X')) \\ & \simeq U( \mathrm{colim}_{[n] \in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} ( \mathrm{colim}_{i \in \mathcal I} ( X'(i,[n])))) \\ & \simeq \mathrm{colim}_{[n] \in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} U(\mathrm{colim}_{i \in \mathcal I} ( X'(i,[n]))) \\ & \eqqcolon \mathrm{colim}_{[n] \in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} U(\mathrm{colim}_{i \in \mathcal I}(FT^nU(X(i)))) \\ & \simeq \mathrm{colim}_{[n] \in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} UF(\mathrm{colim}_{i \in \mathcal I}(T^nU(X(i)))) \\ & \eqqcolon \mathrm{colim}_{[n] \in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} T(\mathrm{colim}_{i \in \mathcal I}(T^n U(X(i)))) ~, \end{aligned}\] in which the third equivalence follows from the fact that \(U\) commutes with geometric realizations since \(T\) does by [Lur17, Cor. 4.2.3.5]. Now, by definition of \(\mathcal L'' \coloneqq U^{-1}(\mathcal L)\), for each object \(i \in \mathcal I\) the object \(U(X(i)) \in \mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal C)\) lies in \(\mathcal L\). Using repeatedly both the fact that \(T\) preserves \(\mathcal L\) and that \(\mathcal L\subseteq \mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal C)\) is closed under colimits, we find that \(U(\mathrm{colim}_\mathcal I(X)) \in \mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal C)\) lies in \(\mathcal L\), as desired. So indeed, \(\mathcal L'' \subseteq \mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal D)\) is closed under colimits.

The verification of condition ([00JY]) (that \(\mathcal L'' \subseteq \mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal D)\) is stable under cobase change) follows from an essentially identical argument (inasmuch as it involves the computation of a colimit (specifically a pushout) in \(\mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal D)\)). So indeed, the class \(\mathcal L''\) of morphisms in \(\mathcal D\) is saturated.

In order to conclude that \(\mathcal L'' = \overline{F(S)}\), it therefore remains to show that any saturated class \(\mathcal L'''\) of morphisms in \(\mathcal D\) that contains \(F(S)\) also contains \(\mathcal L''\). Since \(F\) preserves colimits, certainly \(F(\mathcal L) \subseteq \mathcal L'''\). From here, to show the containment \(\mathcal L'' \subseteq \mathcal L'''\), choose any \(f \in \mathcal L'' \coloneqq U^{-1}(\mathcal L)\). Recall that the aforementioned bar resolution yields an equivalence \(|FT^\bullet U(f)| \simeq f\). Note that \(U(f) \in \mathcal L\), and since \(T\) preserves \(\mathcal L\) then \(T^nU(f) \in \mathcal L\), and so all values of the simplicial object \(FT^\bullet U(f)\) lie in \({\sf{F}}(\mathcal L) \subseteq \mathrm{Fun}([1],\mathcal D)\). Hence, its geometric realization – namely, \(f\) – must lie in \(\mathcal L'''\). So indeed, \(\mathcal L''\) is the smallest saturated class of morphisms in \(\mathcal D\) containing \(F(S)\).

It remains to prove the compatibility with \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal structure. Given an operation \((a_1, ..., a_m) \rightarrow b\) in \(\mathcal O\), we want to show that the induced functor \(\mu \colon \mathcal D_{a_1} \times \cdots \times \mathcal D_{a_m} \rightarrow\mathcal D_b\) carries \(\mathcal L'_{a_1} \times \cdots \times \mathcal L'_{a_m}\) to \(\mathcal L'_b\). Explicitly, given morphisms \(X_i \colon [1] \rightarrow\mathcal D_{a_i}\) in \(\mathcal L'_{a_i}\), we would like to show that \(U(\mu(X_1, \cdots, X_m)) \in \mathcal L\). As above, the bar resolution gives us a simplicial object \(X'_i \colon \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}\rightarrow\mathrm{Fun}([1], \mathcal D_{a_i})\) for each \(1 \leq i \leq n\), with \(X'_i([n]) = FT^nU(X_i)\).

We have a string of equivalences: \[ \begin{aligned} U(\mu(X_1, \cdots, X_n)) & \simeq U(\mu( \mathrm{colim}_{[n_1] \in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} X'_1([n_1]), \cdots, \mathrm{colim}_{[n_m] \in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} X'_m([n_m]))) \\ & \simeq U(\mathrm{colim}_{([n_1], \cdots, [n_m]) \in {(\Delta^{\mathrm{op}})}^m} \mu(X'_1([n_1]), \cdots, X'_m([n_m])))\\ & \simeq U(\mathrm{colim}_{[n]\in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} \mu(X'_1([n]), \cdots, X'_m([n])))\\ & \simeq \mathrm{colim}_{[n]\in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} U(\mu(X'_1([n]), \cdots, X'_m([n])))\\ & \simeq \mathrm{colim}_{[n]\in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} U(\mu(FT^nU(X_1), \cdots, FT^nU(X_m)))\\ & \simeq \mathrm{colim}_{[n]\in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} UF(\mu(T^nU(X_1), \cdots, T^nU(X_m)))\\ & \simeq \mathrm{colim}_{[n]\in \Delta^{\mathrm{op}}} T(\mu(T^nU(X_1), \cdots, T^nU(X_m))) ~, \end{aligned}\] in which the third line uses the fact that the diagonal \(\Delta^{\mathrm{op}}\) in \({(\Delta^{\mathrm{op}})}^n\) is cofinal, which is equivalent to the statement that \(\Delta^{\mathrm{op}}\) is sifted [Lur17, Def. 5.5.8.1, Lem. 5.5.8.4]. For \(1 \leq i \leq n\), \(U(X_i) \in \mathcal L\) by asssumption. It follows that \(T^nU(X_i)\) is also in \(\mathcal L\). Since the \(\mathcal O\)-monoidal structure on \(\mathcal C\) is compatible with the factorization system and \(T\) preserves \(\mathcal L\), we see that \(T(\mu(T^nU(X_1), \cdots, T^nU(X_m)))\) is in \(\mathcal L\). The result now follows from ([00L1]) and the fact that \(\mathcal L\) is closed under colimits. ◻
