Abstract

In this paper we propose and study few applications of the base structured categories XFC\mathcal{X} \rtimes_{\mathbf{F}} \mathbf{C}, CFˉ\int_{\mathbf{C}} \bar{\mathbf{F}}, XFC\mathcal{X} \rtimes_{\mathbb{F}} \mathbf{C} and CFˉ{\int_{\mathbf{C}} \bar{\mathbb{F}}}. First we show classic transformation groupoid X/ ⁣ ⁣/GX /\!\!/ G simply being a base-structured category GFˉ{\int_{\mathbf{G}} \bar{{F}}}. Then using permutation action on a finite set, we introduce the notion of a hierarchy of base structured categories [(X2aF2aB2a)⨿(X2bF2bB2b)⨿...]F1B1[(\mathcal{X}_{2a} \rtimes_{\mathbf{F_{2a}}} \mathbf{B}_{2a}) \amalg (\mathcal{X}_{2b} \rtimes_{\mathbf{F_{2b}}} \mathbf{B}_{2b}) \amalg ...] \rtimes_{\mathbf{F_{1}}} \mathbf{B}_1 that models local and global structures as a special case of composite Grothendieck fibration. Further utilizing the existing notion of transformation double category (X1F1B1)/ ⁣ ⁣/2G(\mathcal{X}_{1} \rtimes_{\mathbf{F_{1}}} \mathbf{B}_{1}) /\!\!/ \mathbf{2G}, we demonstrate that a hierarchy of bases naturally leads one from 2-groups to n-category theory. Finally we prove that every classic Klein geometry is the Grothendieck completion (G=XFH\mathbf{G} = \mathcal{X} \rtimes_{\mathbb{F}} \mathbf{H}) of F:HFManUSet{\mathbb{F}}: \mathbf{H} \xrightarrow{{F}} \mathbf{Man}^{\infty} \xrightarrow{U} \mathbf{Set}. This is generalized to propose a set-theoretic definition of a groupoid geometry (G,B)(\mathcal{G},\mathcal{B}) (originally conceived by Ehresmann through transport and later by Leyton using transfer) with a principal groupoid G=XB\mathcal{G} = \mathcal{X} \rtimes \mathcal{B} and geometry space X=G/B\mathcal{X} = \mathcal{G}/\mathcal{B}; which is essentially same as G=XFB\mathbf{G} = \mathcal{X} \rtimes_{\mathbb{F}} \mathbf{B} or precisely the completion of F:BFManUSet{\mathbb{F}}: \mathbf{B} \xrightarrow{{F}} \mathbf{Man}^{\infty} \xrightarrow{U} \mathbf{Set}.

Comments

1.Notations revised to reflect the difference in abstract and concrete category actions. 2.Both Category and set-theoretic versions of the definition of groupoid geometries made explicit
