Fibrations of categories with terminal objects

Fix $\mathbf{B}$ for a category with pullbacks. Proof: $(\Longrightarrow)$ Suppose that $P$ is a fibration of categories with terminal objects. Then for every $I$ in $\mathbf{B}$ there is an object $...

An internal functor in $\mathbf{Fib(B)}$

I have been thinking about this notion of an internal functor in the category $\mathbf{Fib(B)}$ of fibrations over the same base $\mathbf{B}$. Say $f \colon P \Rightarrow Q$ is an internal functor ...

Connectivity of fibers under fibration replacement

Assume all the spaces mentioned below are simply connected CW complexes. Let $ f: X \to Y $ be a continuous surjctive map between CW complexes, where $ f $ is not necessarily a fibration. Assume that ...

Double analogue of the domain functor

For a category $\mathcal{C}$, the domain functor $\mathbf{dom} \colon \mathcal{C}^2 \to \mathcal{C}$ is a fibration. Denote $\mathbb{D}_1^2$ for the category of proarrows and cells between them and ...

Joyal's Cartesian squares

I am looking at Joyal's definition of cartesian squares Defn 1.1, Is this the same as saying that a commutative square is cartesian iff the induced arrows on the fibers are equivalences?

Reference Request: Moore--Postnikov tower of the rationalization of a fibration

Two spaces $X$ and $Y$ are said to be rationally homotopy equivalent, written $X \sim_{\mathbb{Q}} Y$, if their rationalizations $X_{\mathbb{Q}}$ and $Y_{\mathbb{Q}}$ are homotopy equivalent. Moreover,...

Closure properties of fibrations (cartesian functor)

Given fibrations $P$ and $Q$ over the same base and a cartesian functor $F$ as shown below. I know that when $P$ is discrete, one can easily show that $F$ is a fibration. But this is not true in ...

Geometric morphisms for double categories

Is such there a notion 'Geometric morphism' for double categories? I have been reading Jean Benabou's lecture notes on fibred categories. He has slides on fibred geometric morphisms for arbitrary ...

Equivalence of fibrations

I know that the for fibrations $P \colon E \to B$ and $Q \colon F \to B$ over $B$ there is an equivalence $$\mathbf{Fib(B)}(R, P \to Q) \cong \mathbf{Fib(B)}(R \times_B P, Q) $$ natural in $R \in \...

Closure properties of fibrations

I am trying to prove the above theorem, I think I can do the backward direction. I wanted to be sure about the forward direction: $(\implies)$ Suppose $F$ is a fibration. Then since fibrations are ...

Conduché fibrations

Given the following definition Defn: Suppose $\mathcal{A}$ is a category with finite limits. An object $Y$ of $\mathcal{A}$ is called exponentiable if the functor $(- \times Y) \colon \mathcal{A} \to \...

Reference for the tricategory of elements associated to a trifunctor

The theory of bicategorical fibrations has been relatively well studied, e.g. by Baković and by Buckley. In particular, given a trifunctor $F : \mathcal K \to \mathbf{Bicat}$ from a bicategory $\...

Fibrations using adjoints

For ordinary fibrations is it true that: Given a functor $F \colon C \to D$ with $C$ finitely complete, and a fully faithful functor $U$ such that $F \dashv U$ and F preserving limits. Then F is a ...

How is the behaviour of a deformation retract under a fibration? [duplicate]

Let $p:E \rightarrow B$ a fibration and take $A\subset B$ a deformation retract of B. Is it true that $p^{-1}(A)$ is a deformation retract of E? By deformation retract I mean the weaker definition. I'...

Is this $\mathbb C$-fibration over compact Riemann surface trivial?
