Consider the setting of categories enriched over a suitable monoidal category $\mathbb V$. We define $$\mathrm{Dist}(X,Y):=\mathbb V−\mathrm{Cat}(X^ \mathrm{op}⊗Y,\mathbb V).$$ Recall the definition …

The oplax limit is the category of sections for the functor from the Grothendieck construction to the base category. The strong limit is the category of cartesian sections (every arrow in the base cat …

Given categories $X$ and $Y$ and a strong functor $$D:X^{op}\times Y\to Cat$$ we can of course build the oplax colimit $$\mathrm{colim}^{oplax}_{X^{op}\times Y}D$$ via the usual (covariant) grothe …

Let $C$ be a category and $F\in[C^{op}, Cat]$ be a strong functor. (1) There are functors $$hom_C(c',c)\times F(c)\to F(c').$$ (2) The grothendieck construction gives a 2-equvalence $$\int_C: [C^{ …

Let $\mathcal C$ be a category and let $\mathcal F:\mathcal C\to\mathcal C\textrm{at}$ be a strong bifunctor. Given another category $\mathcal D$, let $\triangle_{\mathcal D}$ denote the constant func …

First of all, let me see if I got the 1-categorical version right: Let $\mathcal F:C\to Cat $ be a (pseudo-) functor. The 2-colimit $\mathrm{colim}_C\mathcal F$ is then given by the Grothendieck co …
