We introduce fibred type-theoretic fibration categories which are fibred categories between categorical models of Martin-L\"{o}f type theory. Fibred type-theoretic fibration categories give a categorical description of logical predicates…

This paper contains two results on how homotopy limits of topological spaces interact with connectivity. The first is a formula for the connectivity of the homotopy limit of diagrams shaped over suitably finite categories, in terms of the…

Many structures of interest in two-dimensional category theory have aspects that are inherently strict. This strictness is not a limitation, but rather plays a fundamental role in the theory of such structures. For instance, a monoidal…

2-Theories are a canonical way of describing categories with extra structure. 2-theory-morphisms are used when discussing how one structure can be replaced with another structure. This is central to categorical coherence theory. We place a…

In this paper we describe two ways on which cofibred categories give rise to bisimplicial sets. The "fibred nerve" is a natural extension of Segal's classical nerve of a category, and it constitutes an alternative simplicial description of…

We show how to integrate a weak morphism of Lie algebra crossed-modules to a weak morphism of Lie 2-groups. To do so we develop a theory of butterflies for 2-term L_infty algebras. In particular, we obtain a new description of the…

In an abelian category, the (bi)fibration of subobjects is isomorphic to the (bi)fibration of quotients. This property captures substantial information about the exactness structure of a category. Indeed, as it was shown by the second…

We study the interaction between the notions of filteredness, fractions and fibrations in the theory of bicategories, generalizing classical results for categories. We give an explicit formula for filtered pseudo-colimits of categories…

We define a natural 2-categorical structure on the base category of a large class of Grothendieck fibrations. Given any model category $\mathbf{C}$, we apply this construction to a fibration whose fibers are the homotopy categories of the…

Given a 2-category $\mathcal{A}$, a $2$-functor $\mathcal{A} \overset {F} {\longrightarrow} \mathcal{C}at$ and a distinguished 1-subcategory $\Sigma \subset \mathcal{A}$ containing all the objects, a $\sigma$-cone for $F$ (with respect to…

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…

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…

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…

Following the theory of principal $\infty$-bundles of Niklaus-Schreiber-Steveson, we develop a homotopy categorification of Hopf algebras, which model quantum groups. We study their higher-representation theory in the setting of…

We define the notion of 2-filtered 2-category and give an explicit construction of the bicolimit of a category valued 2-functor. A category considered as a trivial 2-category is 2-filtered if and only if it is a filtered category, and our…

Abstract inner automorphisms can be used to promote any category into a 2-category, and we study two-dimensional limits and colimits in the resulting 2-categories. Existing connected colimits and limits in the starting category become…

The main objective of this paper is to show that the homotopy colimit of a diagram of quasi-categories and indexed by a small category is a localization of Lurie's higher Grothendieck construction of the diagram. We thereby generalize…
