Culf maps and edgewise subdivision
Abstract
We show that, for any simplicial space , the -category of culf maps over is equivalent to the -category of right fibrations over , the edgewise subdivision of . (When is a Rezk complete Segal or 2-Segal space, is the twisted arrow category of .) We give two proofs of independent interest; one exploiting comprehensive factorization and the natural transformation from the edgewise subdivision to the nerve of the category of elements, and another exploiting a new factorization system of ambifinal and culf maps, together with the right adjoint to edgewise subdivision. Using this main theorem, we show that the -category of decomposition spaces and culf maps is locally an -topos.
