This paper defines double fibrations (fibrations of double categories) and describes their key examples and properties. In particular, it shows how double fibrations relate to existing fibrational notions such as monoidal fibrations and…
We give an elementary exposition of some fundamental facts about fibered (or rather opfibered) categories, in terms of monads and 2-categories. The account avoids any mention of category-valued functors and pseudofunctors.
We give an account, in terms of fibered categories and their fibrewise duals, of aspects of the theory of bundle functors and star-bundle functors in differential geometry.
We generalise the usual notion of fibred category; first to fibred 2-categories and then to fibred bicategories. Fibred 2-categories correspond to 2-functors from a 2-category into 2-Cat. Fibred bicategories correspond to trihomomorphisms…
In this short expository note, we discuss, with plenty of examples, the bestiary of fibrations in quasicategory theory. We underscore the simplicity and clarity of the constructions these fibrations make available to end-users of higher…
We study fibrations arising from indexed categories of the following form: fix two categories $\mathcal{A},\mathcal{X}$ and a functor $F : \mathcal{A} \times \mathcal{X} \longrightarrow\mathcal{X} $, so that to each $F_A=F(A,-)$ one can…
This paper is concerned with developing a 2-dimensional analogue of the notion of an ordinary discrete fibration. A definition is proposed, and it is shown that such discrete 2-fibrations correspond via a 2-equivalence to certain…
In this paper we develop the theory of topological categories over a base category, that is, a theory of topological functors. Our notion of topological functor is similar to (but not the same) the existing notions in the literature (see…
Latent fibrations are an adaptation, appropriate for categories of partial maps (as presented by restriction categories), of the usual notion of fibration. The paper initiates the development of the basic theory of latent fibrations and…
Fibrations over a category $B$, introduced to category theory by Grothendieck, encode pseudo-functors $B^{op} \rightsquigarrow {\bf Cat}$, while the special case of discrete fibrations encode presheaves $B^{op} \to {\bf Set}$. A two-sided…
In this work, we conclude our study of fibred $\infty$-bicategories by providing a Grothendieck construction in this setting. Given a scaled simplicial set $S$ (which need not be fibrant) we construct a 2-categorical version of Lurie's…
In some bicategories, the 1-cells are `morphisms' between the 0-cells, such as functors between categories, but in others they are `objects' over the 0-cells, such as bimodules, spans, distributors, or parametrized spectra. Many…
This paper introduces and studies split two-sided 2-fibrations and locally discrete split two-sided 2-fibrations, using a formal categorical approach. We generalise Street's notion of split two-sided fibration internal to a 2-category to…
Classification questions are often about understanding components of a category. It is much more desirable however to be able to understand the entire homotopy type of this category and not just the set of its components. In this paper we…
As far as we know no notion of concreteness for fibrations exists. We introduce such a notion and discuss some basic results about it.
Fiber functors on Temperley-Lieb categories are investigated with the help of classification results on non-degenerate bilinear forms. The case of unitary fiber functors is also considered.
We develop a categorical framework for reasoning about abstract properties of differentiation, based on the theory of fibrations. Our work encompasses the first-order fragments of several existing categorical structures for differentiation,…
We describe the construction of the slice fibration of a given one.
Presheaves on a small category are well-known to correspond via a category of elements construction to ordinary discrete fibrations over that same small category. Work of R. Par\'e proposes that presheaves on a small double category are…
The familiar construction of categories of fractions, due to Gabriel and Zisman, allows one to invert a class W of arrows in a category in a universal way. Similarly, bicategories of fractions allow one to invert a collection of arrows in a…
