Definition A pointed -category admitting finite products is said to be fractal if the functor

is an equivalence.

Remark

  • This says 0-groups coincide with 1-groups, hence the fully invertible part of the categorification tower is constant.

Examples

  • the 0-category (0-object in pointed categories) is fractal
  • -categories of formal moduli problems are fractal.

Construction of Aut

Mimicking the construction in constr - unpointed toposic Koszul duality. This was also constructed in the work of Hoyois-Safranov-Schrotzeke-Sibilla on categorified traces.
