Small B\'{e}nabou's bicategories and, in particular, Mac Lane's monoidal categories, have well-understood classifying spaces, which give geometric meaning to their cells. This paper contains some contributions to the study of the…

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…

We prove that the homotopy theory of cofibration categories is equivalent to the homotopy theory of cocomplete quasicategories. This is achieved by presenting both homotopy theories as fibration categories and constructing an explicit…

Given a marked $\infty$-category $\mathcal{D}^{\dagger}$ (i.e. an $\infty$-category equipped with a specified collection of morphisms) and a functor $F: \mathcal{D} \to \mathbb{B}$ with values in an $\infty$-bicategory, we define…

For a diagram of simplicial combinatorial model categories, we show that the associated lax limit, endowed with the projective model structure, is a presentation of the lax limit of the underlying $\infty$-categories. Our approach can also…

We extend the 2-representation theory of finitary 2-categories to certain 2-categories with infinitely many objects, denoted locally finitary 2-categories, and extend the classical classification results of simple transitive…

There are infinitely many variants of the notion of Kan fibration that, together with suitable choices of cofibrations and the usual notion of weak equivalence of simplicial sets, satisfy Quillen's axioms for a homotopy model category. The…

We define locally wide finitary 2-categories by relaxing the definition of finitary 2-categories to allow infinitely many objects and isomorphism classes of 1-morphisms and infinite dimensional hom-spaces of 2-morphisms. After defining…

In this paper we introduce sigma limits (which we write $\sigma$-limits), a concept that interpolates between lax and pseudolimits: for a fixed family $\Sigma$ of arrows of a 2-category $\mathcal{A}$, a $\sigma$-cone for a $2$-functor…

Generalizing a definition of homotopy fiber products of model categories, we give a definition of the homotopy limit of a diagram of left Quillen functors between model categories. As has been previously shown for homotopy fiber products,…

This paper provides a blueprint for the construction of a symplectic $(A_\infty,2)$-category, $\mathsf{Symp}$. We develop two ways of encoding the information in $\mathsf{Symp}$ -- one topological, one algebraic. The topological encoding is…

We give structural results about bifibrations of (internal) $(\infty,1)$-categories with internal sums. This includes a higher version of Moens' Theorem, characterizing cartesian bifibrations with extensive aka stable and disjoint internal…

We study limits in 2-categories whose objects are categories with extra structure and whose morphisms are functors preserving the structure only up to a coherent comparison map, which may or may not be required to be invertible. This is…

In this paper, we study h-fibrations, a weak homotopical version of fibrations which have weak covering homotopy property. We present some homotopical analogue of the notions related to fibrations and characterize h-fibrations using them.…

We focus on two factorization systems for opfibrations in the 2-category Fib(B) of fibrations over a fixed base category B. The first one is the internal version of the so called comprehensive factorization, where the right orthogonal class…
