In this paper, we state and prove precise theorems on the classification of the category of (braided) categorical groups and their (braided) monoidal functors, and some applications obtained from the basic studies on monoidal functors…

In this article we introduce four variance flavours of cartesian 2-fibrations of $\infty$-bicategories with $\infty$-bicategorical fibres, in the framework of scaled simplicial sets. Given a map $p\colon \mathcal{E} \rightarrow\mathcal{B}$…

We show that the category of categories fibred over a site is a generalized Quillen model category in which the weak equivalences are the local equivalences and the fibrant objects are the stacks, as they were defined by J. Giraud. The…

We define the phrase `category enriched in an fc-multicategory' and explore some examples. An fc-multicategory is a very general kind of 2-dimensional structure, special cases of which are double categories, bicategories, monoidal…

We show how the notion of intercategory encompasses a wide variety of three-dimensional structures from the literature, notably duoidal categories, monoidal double categories, cubical bicategories, double bicategories and Gray categories.…

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…

We show how the categorial approach to inverse monoids can be described as a certain endofunctor (which we call the partialization functor) of some category. In this paper we show that this functor can be used to obtain several recently…

We define the notion of an indexed profunctor over a 2-category, and use it to develop an abstract theory of limits. The theory subsumes (conical) limits, weighted limits, ends and Kan extensions. Results include an abstract version of the…

Indexed symmetric monoidal categories are an important refinement of bicategories -- this structure underlies several familiar bicategories, including the homotopy bicategory of parametrized spectra, and its equivariant and fiberwise…

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…

A standard result from the theory of Grothendieck fibrations states that if $p : E \to B$ is a fibration, then $E$ has limits of shape $\mathcal{J}$ if $B$ has limits of shape $\mathcal{J}$ the fibers of $\mathcal{E}$ have limits of shape…

We use the terms $\infty$-categories and $\infty$-functors to mean the objects and morphisms in an $\infty$-cosmos: a simplicially enriched category satisfying a few axioms, reminiscent of an enriched category of fibrant objects.…

We define $\mathcal{H}$-fibration sequences as fibrations where the holonomy action of the fundamental group of the base on the fiber lies in a given subgroup $\mathcal{H}$ of $\mathcal{E}(F)$, where $\mathcal{E}(F)$ is the homotopy…

Given a braided pivotal category $\mathcal C$ and a pivotal module tensor category $\mathcal M$, we define a functor $\mathrm{Tr}_{\mathcal C}:\mathcal M \to \mathcal C$, called the associated categorified trace. By a result of…

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.

When formalizing mathematics in (generalized predicative) constructive type theories, or more practically in proof assistants such as Coq or Agda, one is often using setoids (types with explicit equivalence relations). In this note we…

Arboreal categories were introduced as an axiomatic framework for game comonads, which provide a comonadic view on many model-comparison games in logic. We demonstrate the inadequacy of the axiom stating that paths are connected. We then…

A certain amount of category theory is developed in an arbitrary finitely complete category with a factorization system on it, playing the role of the comprehensive factorization system on Cat. Those aspects related to the concepts of…

We define a new model structure on the category of small categories, which is intimately related to the notion of coverings and fundamental groups of small categories. Fibrant objects in the model structure coincide with groupoids, and the…
