Comparison map and n-affineness

The identity functor classifies an -point of , that is, a map of stacks

In components, the map sends

If the above map is an equivalence, is said to be -affine. The map is said to be the n-affininization of .

Non-commutative Generalizations

  • if is , above definition works verbatim to define -Tannakianizations for (where symmetric-monoidal functors are replaced by -monoidal functors)
