The bicategory of based categories #
In this file we define the type BasedCategory 𝒮, and give it the structure of a strict
bicategory. Given a category 𝒮, we define the type BasedCategory 𝒮 as the type of categories
𝒳 equipped with a functor 𝒳.p : 𝒳 ⥤ 𝒮.
We also define a type of functors between based categories 𝒳 and 𝒴, which we call
BasedFunctor 𝒳 𝒴 and denote as 𝒳 ⥤ᵇ 𝒴. These are defined as functors between the underlying
categories 𝒳.obj and 𝒴.obj which commute with the projections to 𝒮.
Natural transformations between based functors F G : 𝒳 ⥤ᵇ 𝒴 are given by the structure
BasedNatTrans F G. These are defined as natural transformations α between the functors
underlying F and G such that α.app a lifts 𝟙 S whenever 𝒳.p.obj a = S.
A based category over 𝒮 is a category 𝒳 together with a functor p : 𝒳 ⥤ 𝒮.
- obj : Type u₂
The type of objects in a
BasedCategory - category : Category.{v₂, u₂} self.obj
The underlying category of a
BasedCategory. The functor to the base.

A functor between based categories is a functor between the underlying categories that commutes with the projections.

Instances For
For a based functor F : 𝒳 ⟶ 𝒴, then whenever an arrow φ in 𝒳 lifts some f in 𝒮,
then F(φ) also lifts f.
For a based functor F : 𝒳 ⟶ 𝒴, and an arrow φ in 𝒳, then φ lifts an arrow f in 𝒮
if F(φ) does.
A BasedNatTrans between two BasedFunctors is a natural transformation α between the
underlying functors, such that for all a : 𝒳, α.app a lifts 𝟙 S whenever 𝒳.p.obj a = S.
