In differential geometry, the existence of pullbacks is a delicate matter, since the category of smooth manifolds does not admit all of them. When pullbacks are required, often submersions are employed as an ideal class of maps which…

This paper explores a new perspective on the universality of the vertical lift in tangent categories by presenting a categorification of the dimension of smooth manifolds. The universality of the vertical lift is a key part of the axioms of…
