A characterization of sheaves among six functor formalisms on LCH

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be any stable presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category. In this paper, we characterize $\mathrm{Shv}(-,\mathcal{C})$ on locally compact Hausdorff spaces as the unique six functor formalism satisfying a list of very natural properties. As a consequence, we deduce that every continuous six functor formalism $D$ in the sense of Zhu is equivalent to $\mathrm{Shv}(-, D(\mathrm{pt}))$.
