Feb 19, 2022 at 20:04 comment added Tim Campion If I were trying to prove your conjecture to be true, this should not suffice. But I’m proving it false, ie coming up with a counterexample. so it does suffice.
Feb 19, 2022 at 20:03 comment added varkor Thank you, this is the observation I had overlooked. Could you add the elaboration in these comments to your answer? Then I'll accept it :)
Feb 19, 2022 at 20:00 comment added Tim Campion Let F: A —> B be a functor between 1-categories. Let i(F): i(A) —> i(B) be the corresponding 2-functor between locally discrete 2-categories. Then F is faithful iff i(F) is locally fully faithful.
Feb 19, 2022 at 19:50 comment added varkor It's still not clear to me why it suffices to consider only the faithful functors. I'm interested in locally fully faithful functors: why is it still sufficient if we drop fullness?
Feb 17, 2022 at 4:12 comment added Tim Campion I'm including 1-categories into 2-categories as the locally discrete ones. This functor has a right adjoint, so it preserves pushouts.
Feb 17, 2022 at 3:32 comment added varkor I'm probably missing something obvious, but why does it suffice to show that faithful functors are not closed under pushout? Why faithful and not fully faithful (which are closed under pushout)?
