Smooth categories in a 6 functor formalism and compact generation for nuclear categories in analytic geometry

Abstract: In this paper, we study the notion of smooth $\infty$-categories within the framework of a six-functor formalism. By leveraging the theory of condensed mathematics and analytic stacks, we apply these results to demonstrate that a rigid analytic variety is smooth if and only if its associated category of nuclear sheaves is smooth. Furthermore, we relate the compact generation of the category of nuclear sheaves to the algebraization of the rigid analytic variety; these results are then employed to obtain an example of a non atomically generated but internally smooth category.
