   Format: MarkdownItexI am wondering about the following: Let $Singularities$ denote the [[global orbit category]] of finite groups, i.e. simply the full sub-$2$-category of all $\infty$-groupoids on those of the form $\ast \!\sslash\! G$ for $G$ a finite group. Regarded as an $\infty$-site with trivial coverage, this is a cohesive $\infty$-site. Therefore, given any $\infty$-topos $\mathbf{H}_{\subset}$ we obtain a new $\infty$-topos $$ \mathbf{H} \;\coloneqq\; PSh_\infty(Singularities, \mathbf{H}_{\subset}) $$ which has the following properties: 1. for each finite group $G$ there is the usual $\ast \!\sslash\! G \in \mathbf{H}$, but in addition there is an object to be denoted $\prec^G \in \mathbf{H}$ -- to be thought of as the the "generic $G$-orbi-singularity" (namely that arising as the image of the corresponding object in $Singularities$ under the Yoneda-embedding and passing along the inverse terminal geometric morphism of $\mathbf{H}_{\subset}$ ) 1. it carries an adjoint triple of modalities $$\lt \;\;\dashv\;\; \subset \;\;\dashv\;\; \prec$$ to be read $$singular \dashv smooth \dashv orbisingular$$ 1. such that (at least when $\mathbf{H}_{\subset}$ is itself cohesive): 1. $\lt(\prec^G) \simeq \ast$ ("the purely singular aspect of an orbi-singularity is a plain quotient of a point, hence a point") 1. $\subset(\prec^G) \simeq \ast \!\sslash\! G$ ("the purely smooth aspect of an orbi-singularity is a homotopy quotient of a point) 1. $\prec(\prec^G) \simeq \prec^G$ ("an orbi-singularity is purely orbi-singular") $\,$ I am wondering about the converse: Suppose an $\infty$-topos $\mathbf{H}$ is such that these three conditions hold (the first one without its parenthetical remark). Can we conclude that $\mathbf{H}$ is of the form $PSh_\infty(Singularities, \mathbf{H}_{\subset})$?

Just to comment that discussion and material in this area is getting spread out, e.g., most discussion is at [orbifold cohomology](https://nforum.ncatlab.org/discussion/8915/orbifold-cohomology/) and most exposition at the corresponding page [[orbifold cohomology]].
