Cartesian Fibrations of $(\infty,2)$-categories
Abstract
In this article we introduce four variance flavours of cartesian 2-fibrations of -bicategories with -bicategorical fibres, in the framework of scaled simplicial sets. Given a map of -bicategories, we define -(co)cartesian arrows and inner/outer triangles by means of lifting properties against . Inner/outer (co)cartesian 2-fibrations are then defined to be maps with enough (co)cartesian lifts for arrows and enough inner/outer lifts for triangles, together with a compatibility property with respect to whiskerings in the outer case. By doing so, we also recover in particular the case of -bicategories fibred in -categories studied in previous work. We also prove that equivalences of such 2-fibrations can be tested fiberwise. As a motivating example, we show that the domain projection is a prototypical example of an outer cartesian 2-fibration, where denotes the -bicategory of functors, lax natural transformations and modifications. We then define inner/outer (co)cartesian 2-fibrations of categories enriched in -categories, and we show that a fibration of such categories is a (co)cartesian inner/outer 2-fibration if and only if the corresponding scaled nerve is a fibration of this type between -bicategories.
