Jun 28, 2018 at 7:21 comment added Denis Nardin @TimCampion Late to the party, but the problem with this approach for compact Lie group has nothing to do with the notion of G-category. In fact a majority of our exposé 2 (J. Shah's thesis) works in this setting. The problems arise when you start to consider monoidal structure, because you have no analogue of finite G-sets.
Jun 13, 2018 at 18:50 comment added Tim Campion There's something funny, though -- in ordinary category theory, taking the completion of a Segal space corresponds to localizing at the fully faithful, essentially surjective functors. But notoriously, this is tricky to do for internal categories -- for e.g. Lie groupoids, you need to introduce a more flexible notion of internal functor before you can recover some version of "equivalence = fully faithful + essentially surjective". Perhaps such a notion would be necessary to push the study of parameterized categories to do equivariant homotopy theory over general compact Lie groups.
Jun 13, 2018 at 18:46 comment added Tim Campion @DylanWilson Thanks for the reference! I've definitely seen this idea before that fibered categories correspond to "non-small internal categories" -- I've never really looked into it, but it should have come to mind in connection to this question. Remarkably, Pare-Schumacher are actually working with categories equipped with a specified class of "canonical isomorphisms" (1st paragraph of I.0 and more discussion near the end of II.1.2) -- this seems to correspond precisely to the fact that an internal category without the univalence condition really corresponds to an incomplete Segal space!

Jun 11, 2018 at 16:49 comment added Dylan Wilson It looks like some discussion of this in the 1-categorical context is in Johnstone-Pare's book on "indexed categories and their applications" page 25. (Their "indexed categories" are basically the 1-categorical versions of today's "parameterized categories" )
Jun 11, 2018 at 15:49 comment added Denis Nardin I think you can get the statement you want for enriched categories from a variant of the proof of theorem 4.4.6 of Gepner and Haugseng enriched ∞-categories paper

Jun 11, 2018 at 14:57 comment added Tim Campion This leaves me wondering how much of the parameterized category theory developed by Barwick et al can be recast as general internal category theory.

Jun 11, 2018 at 14:38 comment added Tim Campion All of this works for an arbitrary presheaf category. That is, if $T$ is any small $\infty$-category, then categories fibered over $T$ are the same as categories internal to presheaves on $T$. That is, so long as you agree with my formulation of univalence for internal categories -- which admittedly doesn't necessarily make sense if you want to work internal to an arbitrary finitely-complete category. But at least it makes sense in the presheaf case. I suppose if you wanted it to work for an arbitrary finitely-complete category, you could use an appropriate truncation of $E_\bullet$.
