Subject: Functors arising from a relational Grothendieck construction
Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2017 11:37:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1dKwD6-0000jU-1e@mlist.mta.ca> (raw)
Dear Category Theorists,
with my adviser Damiano Mazza and his other student Pierre Vial, we are looking
for a name – or even better, a reference – for the following kind of functors:
Let C and B be two categories, F : C ---> D a functor satisfying, for all
morphisms f:c -> c' in C:
- if Ff = g \circ h, then there exists two morphisms k,l such that
+ f = k \circ l
+ Fk = g
+ Fl = h
- if Ff = id_a for a certain object a, then f itself is an identity.
These functors arise when applying the Grothendieck construction to relational
presheaves: P : B ---> Rel. Indeed, the category of relational presheaves on B
is equivalent (through the Grothendieck construction) to a category whose
objects are such functors over B.
If anyone could point us in a right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Best,
— Luc
