On bi-enriched $\infty$-categories
Abstract
We extend Lurie's definition of enriched -categories to notions of left enriched, right enriched and bienriched -categories, which generalize the concepts of closed left tensored, right tensored and bitensored -categories and share many desirable features with them. We use bienriched -categories to endow the -category of enriched functors with enrichment that generalizes both the internal hom of the tensor product of enriched -categories when the latter exists, and the free cocompletion under colimits and tensors. As an application we construct enriched Kan-extensions from operadic Kan-extensions, compute the monad for enriched functors, prove an end formula for morphism objects of enriched -categories of enriched functors and a coend formula for the relative tensor product of enriched profunctors and construct transfer of enrichment from scalar extension of presentably bitensored -categories. In particular, we develop an independent theory of enriched -categories for Lurie's model of enriched -categories.
