2-Cartesian fibrations II: A Grothendieck construction for $\infty$-bicategories

Algebraic Topology 2023-04-14 v3 Category Theory

Abstract

In this work, we conclude our study of fibred \infty-bicategories by providing a Grothendieck construction in this setting. Given a scaled simplicial set SS (which need not be fibrant) we construct a 2-categorical version of Lurie's straightening-unstraightening adjunction, thereby furnishing an equivalence between the \infty-bicategory of 2-Cartesian fibrations over SS and the \infty-bicategory of contravariant functors SopB ⁣icatS^{\operatorname{op}} \to \mathbb{B}\mathbf{\!}\operatorname{icat}_\infty with values in the \infty-bicategory of \infty-bicategories. We provide a relative nerve construction in the case where the base is a 2-category, and use this to prove a comparison to existing bicategorical Grothendieck constructions.
