Very Schwartz coidempotents and continuous spectrum

Abstract

We introduce the continuous version of the (unstable) smashing spectrum functor. In the stable case, it assigns to each dualizably symmetric monoidal stable presentable $\infty$-category a stably compact space whose open subsets correspond to very Schwartz idempotents -- a certain class of idempotents we define. As an application, we prove Tannaka duality for spectral sheaves on stably compact spaces, including the case of compact Hausdorff spaces.
