Abstract

Let C\mathcal{C} be a representable 2-category, and T\mathfrak{T}_\bullet a 2-endofunctor of the arrow 2-category C\mathcal{C}^\downarrow such that (i) codT=cod\mathsf{cod} \mathfrak{T}_\bullet = \mathsf{cod} and (ii) T\mathfrak{T}_\bullet preserves proneness of morphisms in C\mathcal{C}^\downarrow. Then T\mathfrak{T}_\bullet preserves fibrations and opfibrations in C\mathcal{C}. The proof takes Street's characterization of (e.g.) opfibrations as pseudoalgebras for 2-monads LB\mathfrak{L}_B on slice categories C/B\mathcal{C}/B and develops it by defining a 2-monad L\mathfrak{L}_\bullet on C\mathcal{C}^\downarrow that takes change of base into account, and uses known results on the lifting of 2-functors to pseudoalgebras.
