A model structure for Grothendieck fibrations

Abstract

We construct two model structures, whose fibrant objects capture the notions of discrete fibrations and of Grothendieck fibrations over a category C\mathcal{C}. For the discrete case, we build a model structure on the slice Cat/C\mathrm{Cat}_{/\mathcal{C}}, Quillen equivalent to the projective model structure on [Cop,Set][\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}},\mathrm{Set}] via the classical category of elements construction. The cartesian case requires the use of markings, and we define a model structure on the slice Cat/C+\mathrm{Cat}^+_{/\mathcal{C}}, Quillen equivalent to the projective model structure on [Cop,Cat][\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{op}},\mathrm{Cat}] via a marked version of the Grothendieck construction. We further show that both of these model structures have the expected interactions with their \infty-counterparts; namely, with the contravariant model structure on sSet/NC\mathrm{sSet}_{/ N\mathcal{C}} and with Lurie's cartesian model structure on sSet/NC+\mathrm{sSet}^+_{/ N\mathcal{C}}.
