Abstract

Let C\mathcal C be a category of a set of (small) categories. This paper concerns with the Cat{\mathbf {Cat}}-valued presheaves and sieves over category C.\mathcal C. Since Cat{\mathbf {Cat}} is not a concrete category, existing definition of presheaves can not deal with the situation. This paper proposes a new framework for the purpose. The main result is a version of Yoneda embedding for Cat{\mathbf {Cat}}-valued presheaves, and construction of the Cat{\mathbf {Cat}}-valued sieves over the category O(B){\mathcal O}(\mathbf B) of subcategories of a given topological category B.\mathbf B.
