B.4 Factorization systems for enriched \(\infty\)-categories[00LB]
We now prove the second main theorem of the appendix, which gives factorization systems for enriched \(\infty\)-categories (using those for algebras over \(\infty\)-operads).
[00LC]
Theorem B.4.1.
Let \(\mathbb V\) be a presentably monoidal \(\infty\)-category equipped with a compatible factorization system \((\mathcal L, \mathcal R)\).
The \(\infty\)-category \(\mathrm{Cat}[\mathbb V]\) of \(\mathbb V\)-enriched \(\infty\)-categories admits a factorization system \((\mathcal L_\mathrm{Cat},\mathcal R_\mathrm{Cat})\), described as follows.
A morphism lies in \(\mathcal L_\mathrm{Cat}\) if and only if it is surjective on objects (i.e. \(\iota_0\)-surjective) and lies in \(\mathcal L\) homwise.
A morphism lies in \(\mathcal R_\mathrm{Cat}\) if and only if it lies in \(\mathcal R\) homwise.
If \(S\) is a set of generators for \(\mathcal L\), then the localization of \(\Sigma[S]\) is a set of generators for \(\mathcal L_\mathrm{Cat}\).
If \(\mathbb V\) is symmetric monoidal, then this factorization system is compatible with the resulting symmetric monoidal structure on \(\mathrm{Cat}[\mathbb V]\).
Before we prove Theorem B.4.1, let us first consider factorization systems on categorical algebras:

Lemma B.4.3.
Fix a presentably monoidal \(\infty\)-category \(\mathbb V\) equipped with a compatible factorization system \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\).
The \(\infty\)-category \(\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}[\mathbb V]\) of categorical \(\mathbb V\)-algebras admits a factorization system \((\mathcal L_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}},\mathcal R_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}})\), described as follows.
A morphism lies in \(\mathcal L_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}}\) if and only if it is an \(\iota_0\)-equivalence and it lies in \(\mathcal L\) homwise.
A morphism lies in \(\mathcal R_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}}\) if and only if it lies in \(\mathcal R\) homwise.
If \(S\) is a set of generators for \(\mathcal L\), then \(\Sigma[S] \coloneqq \{ \Sigma(s)\}_{s \in S}\) is a set of generators for \(\mathcal L_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}}\).
If \(\mathbb V\) is symmetric monoidal, then the factorization system \((\mathcal L_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}},\mathcal R_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}})\) is compatible with the resulting symmetric monoidal structure on \(\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}[\mathbb V]\).
[00LL]
Proof.
By definition, the Cartesian fibration \(\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}[\mathbb V] \xrightarrow{\iota_0} \mathcal S\) is the unstraightening of a composite functor \[\mathcal S^{\mathrm{op}}
\xrightarrow{{\textup{codisc}}}
(\mathrm{Op}_{/\mathbb E_1})^{\mathrm{op}}
\xrightarrow{\mathrm{Alg}_{(-)/\mathbb E_1}(\mathbb V)}
{\Pr}^R
~.\]* For a space \(X \in \mathcal S\), its corresponding \(\infty\)-operad \({\textup{codisc}}(X) \in \mathrm{Op}_{/\mathbb E_1}\) has space of colors given by pairs of points \(x,y \in X\) (up to a symmetrization (i.e. the quotient by the \(\mathfrak S_2\)-action) coming from [Lur17, Thm. 4.1.3.14]), and a categorical \(\mathbb V\)-algebra \(\mathcal C\) with space of objects \(X\) assigns to these the hom-object \(\mathrm{Hom}_\mathcal C(x,y) \in \mathbb V\). Hence, checking conditions on morphisms in \(\underline{\mathbb V}\) colorwise over \({\textup{codisc}}(X)\) indeed corresponds to checking conditions on morphisms homwise, and thereafter part ([00LI]) follows by combining Theorem B.3.1.([00L7]) and Lemma B.2.4.
Thereafter, part ([00LJ]) follows from the observation that \((\Sigma[S])^\bot = \mathcal R_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}}\), which is immediate from the universal property of \(\Sigma[-]\).
Lastly, part ([00LK]) follows from the assumption that \((\mathcal L,\mathcal R)\) is compatible with the monoidal structure of \(\mathbb V\). ◻
[00LM]
Proof of Theorem B.4.1.
Given the factorization system on \(\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}[\mathbb V]\) of Lemma B.4.3, we wish to apply Lemma B.2.5 to the reflective localization
We note preliminarily that the morphisms in \(\mathrm{Cat}[\mathbb V]\) that are localizations of \(\iota_0\)-equivalences in \(\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}[\mathbb V]\) are precisely the \(\iota_0\)-surjections.
We first show that the hypotheses of Lemma B.2.5 are satisfied. To show that \(RL(\mathcal R_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}}) \subseteq \mathcal R_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}}\), we simply observe that if a morphism \(F\) in \(\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}[\mathbb V]\) is homwise in \(\mathcal R\) then so is its localization \(L(F)\) and hence so is \(RL(F)\). To show that \(L(\mathcal L_{\mathrm{Alg}_{\mathrm{Cat}}})\) is stable under retracts, it suffices to observe that \(\mathcal L\) is stable under retracts (by definition of a factorization system) and that surjections in \(\mathcal S\) are stable under retracts (since surjections in \(\mathrm{Set}\) are).
From here, the three parts of Lemma B.2.5 respectively imply the three parts of the present result. ◻

See [GH15, Def. 4.3.1], and note that that nonsymmetric (a.k.a. planar) \(\infty\)-operads are equivalent to \(\infty\)-operads over \(\mathbb E_1\) by [Lur17, Thm. 4.1.3.14].
