Multiple categories of general quintets

Category Theory 2025-11-20 v1

Abstract

We construct various multiple categories, based on generalised Ehresmann quintets. The main construction is a multiple category whose objects are all the `lax' multiple categories; the transversal arrows are their strict multiple functors while the arrows in a positive direction are multiple functors of a `mixed laxity', varying from the lax ones (in direction 1) to the colax ones (in direction \infty).
