The Fibration of Objects🔗

Let EB\mathcal{E} \mathrel{\htmlClass{liesover}{\hspace{1.366em}}} \mathcal{B} be a fibration. Its fibration of objects is the wide subcategory spanned by the cartesian morphisms. The idea behind the name is that we’ve kept all the objects in E\mathcal{E}, but removed all the interesting morphisms: all we’ve kept are the ones that witness changes-of-base.

Objects : Displayed B o′ (o    o′  ℓ′)
Objects .Displayed.Ob[_] x = Ob[ x ]
Objects .Displayed.Hom[_] f x′ y′   = Cartesian-morphism E f x′ y′
Objects .Displayed.Hom[_]-set _ _ _ = Cartesian-morphism-is-set E
Objects .Displayed.id′  = idcart E
Objects .Displayed._∘′_ = _∘cart_ E
Objects .Displayed.idr′ _       = Cartesian-morphism-pathp E (idr′ _)
Objects .Displayed.idl′ _       = Cartesian-morphism-pathp E (idl′ _)
Objects .Displayed.assoc′ _ _ _ = Cartesian-morphism-pathp E (assoc′ _ _ _)

We have an evident forgetful fibred functor from the object fibration back to E\mathcal{E}.

Objects-forget : Vertical-fibred-functor Objects E
Objects-forget .vert .F₀′ x = x
Objects-forget .vert .F₁′ f′ = f′ .hom′
Objects-forget .vert .F-id′ = refl
Objects-forget .vert .F-∘′ = refl
Objects-forget .F-cartesian f′ _ = f′ .cartesian

Since the object fibration only has Cartesian morphisms from E\mathcal{E}, we can prove that it consists entirely of Cartesian maps. This is not immediate, since to include the “universal” map, we must prove that it too is Cartesian; but that follows from the pasting law for Cartesian squares.

Objects-cartesian
  :  {x y x′ y′} {f : Hom x y} (f′ : Cartesian-morphism E f x′ y′)
   is-cartesian Objects f f′
Objects-cartesian f′ = cart where
  open is-cartesian

  cart : is-cartesian _ _ _
  cart .universal m h′ = cart-paste E f′ h′
  cart .commutes m h′ =
    Cartesian-morphism-pathp E (f′ .cartesian .commutes m (h′ .hom′))
  cart .unique m′ p =
    Cartesian-morphism-pathp E (f′ .cartesian .unique (hom′ m′) (ap hom′ p))

If EE is a fibration, then its fibration of objects is a a right fibration, by the preceding result. This means the fibres of the object fibration are groupoids.

  cart-lift .Cartesian-lift.cartesian = Objects-cartesian _

The core of a fibration🔗

The fibration of objects is the relative analog of the core of a category, sharing its universal property. Rather than a groupoid, suppose we have a right fibration R\mathcal{R} and a fibred functor F:REF : \mathcal{R} \to \mathcal{E}: to complete the analogy, we show FF factors through E\mathcal{E}’s fibration of objects.
