Fibered aspects of Yoneda's regular span
Abstract
In this paper we start by pointing out that Yoneda's notion of a regular span can be interpreted as a special kind of morphism, that we call fiberwise opfibration, in the 2-category . We study the relationship between these notions and those of internal opfibration and two-sided fibration. This fibrational point of view makes it possible to interpret Yoneda's Classification Theorem given in his 1960 paper as the result of a canonical factorization, and to extend it to a non-symmetric situation, where the fibration given by the product projection is replaced by any split fibration over . This new setting allows us to transfer Yoneda's theory of extensions to the non-additive analog given by crossed extensions for the cases of groups and other algebraic structures.
