at Beck-Chevalley condition I have added an Examples-section Pullbacks of opfibrations with statement and proof that the diagram of presheaves induced by a pullback of a small obfibration satisfies Beck-Chevalley.
Added to Beck-Chevalley condition a remark on its interpretation In logic / type theory.
(This can be said more nicely and in more detail, but that’s what I have for the moment.)
I have added the Beck-Chevalley-setup as an example to mate, just to have the cross-link.
Here is a Question:
Suppose we have a composite diagram of Wirthmüller contexts of the form
Then we get functors
and the mate construction for the top square in the above diagram gives a composition transformation (at least if the BC condition holds)
where
Further describing this kind of situation for longer sequences of spans of Wirthmüller contexts, which I will refrain from here in this comment, yields a “monad-oid” and its Kleisli composition, as discussed in another thread.
Does this have an established name for the above kind of situation?
To check that I’m understanding: is it right that the canonical transformation is actually , and the BC condition makes it invertible (and hence in particular can go the other direction)?
Yes.
I have added a Beck-Chevalley condition in the section Examples – For categories of presheaves a pointer to Joyal’s document on quasicategories, for the corresponding statement.
What would be a quick example to show that the condition that the original square in this case be not just a pullback, but a pullback of opfibrations is a necessary condition?
Then I did a little reorganization of the entry: There used to be a subsection “Bibrations” under the section “Examples”. This subsection had its own sub-sub-section “Examples”.
So I fixed that: I moved the paragraphs on BC for bifibrations to the Definition-section (maybe some haronization is now in order there), and merged its list of Examples into the general list of examples.
What would be a quick example to show that the condition that the original square in this case be not just a pullback, but a pullback of opfibrations is a necessary condition?
the interval category , the terminal category, , , so that , but is the identity functor.
Thanks! I have added that to the entry.
I added Mackey’s restriction formula as an example.
Presumably that’s something that could be readily shown in HoTT. Has there been any further work in HoTT concerning groups actions, etc.? Something seemed to have started a while ago, recall the regular action thread.
By the way, why does Beck-Chevalley not appear in the HoTT book?
Presumably that’s something that could be readily shown in HoTT.
Probably, although you’d first need to define some group theory, including colimits of diagrams of abelian groups.
Has there been any further work in HoTT concerning groups actions, etc.?
I don’t know of any.
By the way, why does Beck-Chevalley not appear in the HoTT book?
Where would it go?
I guess I thought commutativity of substitution and dependent sum at least would show up somewhere.
The nice thing about type theory is that commutativity of everything with substitution is built into the notation, so you don’t even need to mention it. Of course it has to be mentioned when constructing categorical semantics, but the HoTT book is always working internally to type theory.
Ah yes, of course. Thanks.
