Some insights on bicategories of fractions - III

Category Theory 2014-11-24 v2

Abstract

We fix any bicategory A\mathscr{A} together with a class of morphisms WA\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{A}}, such that there is a bicategory of fractions A[WA1]\mathscr{A}[\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{A}}^{-1}]. Given another such pair (B,WB)(\mathscr{B},\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{B}}) and any pseudofunctor F:AB\mathcal{F}:\mathscr{A}\rightarrow\mathscr{B}, we find necessary and sufficient conditions in order to have an induced equivalence of bicategories from A[WA1]\mathscr{A}[\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{A}}^{-1}] to B[WB1]\mathscr{B}[\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{B}}^{-1}]. In particular, this gives necessary and sufficient conditions in order to have an equivalence from any bicategory of fractions A[WA1]\mathscr{A}[\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{A}}^{-1}] to any given bicategory B\mathscr{B}.
