Lax Presheaves and Exponentiability
نویسنده
چکیده
The category of Set-valued presheaves on a small category B is a topos. Replacing Set by a bicategory S whose objects are sets and morphisms are spans, relations, or partial maps, we consider a category Lax(B,S) of S-valued lax functors on B. When S = Span, the resulting category is equivalent to Cat/B, and hence, is rarely even cartesian closed. Restricting this equivalence gives rise to exponentiability characterizations for Lax(B,Rel) in [9] and for Lax(B,Par) in this paper. Along the way, we obtain a characterization of those B for which the category UFL/B is a coreflective subcategory of Cat/B, and hence, a topos.

Exponentiability in Lax Slices of Top
We consider exponentiable objects in lax slices of Top with respect to the specialization order (and its opposite) on a base space B. We begin by showing that the lax slice over B has binary products which are preserved by the forgetful functor to Top if and only if B is a meet (respective, join) semilattice in Top, and go on to characterize exponentiability over a complete Alexandrov space B.
متن کاملLax Kleisli-valued presheaves and coalgebraic weak bisimulation
We generalize the work by Sobociński on relational presheaves and their connection with weak (bi)simulation for labelled transistion systems to a coalgebraic setting. We show that the coalgebraic notion of saturation studied in our previous work can be expressed in the language of lax functors in terms of existence of a certain adjunction between categories of lax functors. This observation all...
متن کاملExponentiability in categories of lax algebras
For a complete cartesian-closed category V with coproducts, and for any pointed endofunctor T of the category of sets satisfying a suitable Beck-Chevalley-type condition, it is shown that the category of lax reflexive (T,V)-algebras is a quasitopos. This result encompasses many known and new examples of quasitopoi. Mathematics Subject Classification: 18C20, 18D15, 18A05, 18B30, 18B35.

متن کاملQuasi Left Factorization Structures as Presheaves
In this article the notion of quasi left factorization structure in a category X is given. It is proved that quasi left factorization structures correspond to subobjects of a predefined object in the category of laxed preordered valued presheaves, Lax(PrOrdX op ). The main result proves this correspondence is one to one when quasi left factorization structures are restricted to the so called QL...
