Model Structures for Correspondences and Bifibrations

Algebraic Topology 2018-07-24 v1

Abstract

We study the notion of a bifibration in simplicial sets which generalizes the classical notion of two-sided discrete fibration studied in category theory. If AA and BB are simplicial sets we equip the category of simplicial sets over A×BA\times B with the structure of a model category for which the fibrant objects are the bifibrations from AA to BB. We also equip the category of correspondences of simplicial sets from AA to BB with the structure of a model category. We describe several Quillen equivalences relating these model structure with the covariant model structure on the category of simplicial sets over Bop×AB^{\mathrm{op}}\times A.
