This is the \emph{base change} morphism. If $C$ is a [[topos]], then this refines to an [[essential geometric morphism]] \begin{displaymath} (f_! \dashv f^* \dashv f_*) : C/X \to C/Y \,. \end{displaymath} The [[duality|dual]] concept is [[cobase change]]. \hypertarget{definition}{}\subsection*{{Definition}}\label{definition} \hypertarget{pullback}{}\subsubsection*{{Pullback}}\label{pullback} For $f : X \to Y$ a [[morphism]] in a [[category]] $C$ with [[pullback]]s, there is an induced [[functor]] \begin{displaymath} f^* : C/Y \to C/X \end{displaymath} of [[over-categories]]. It is on objects given by [[pullback]]/[[fiber product]] along $f$ \begin{displaymath} (p : K \to Y) \mapsto \left( \itexarray{ X \times_Y K &\to & K \\ {}^{\mathllap{p^*}}\downarrow && \downarrow \\ X &\to& Y } \right) \,. \end{displaymath} \hypertarget{in_a_fibered_category}{}\subsubsection*{{In a fibered category}}\label{in_a_fibered_category} The concept of base change generalises from this case to other [[fibered category|fibred categories]]. \hypertarget{GeometricMorphism}{}\subsubsection*{{Base change geometric morphisms}}\label{GeometricMorphism} \begin{prop} \label{BaseChangeIsEssentialGeometricMorphism}\hypertarget{BaseChangeIsEssentialGeometricMorphism}{} For $\mathbf{H}$ a [[topos]] (or [[(∞,1)-topos]], etc.) $f : X \to Y$ a [[morphism]] in $\mathbf{H}$, then base change induces an [[essential geometric morphism]] between over-toposes/[[over-(∞,1)-topos]]es \begin{displaymath} (\sum_f \dashv f^* \dashv \prod_f) : \mathbf{H}/X \stackrel{\overset{f_!}{\to}}{\stackrel{\overset{f^*}{\leftarrow}}{\underset{f_*}{\to}}} \mathbf{H}/Y \end{displaymath} where $f_!$ is given by postcomposition with $f$ and $f^*$ by [[pullback]] along $f$. \end{prop} \begin{proof} That we have [[adjoint functor]]s/[[adjoint (∞,1)-functor]]s $(f_! \dashv f^*)$ follows directly from the universal property of the pullback. The fact that $f^*$ has a further [[right adjoint]] is due to the fact that it preserves all small [[colimit]]s/[[(∞,1)-colimit]]s by the fact that in a topos we have [[universal colimits]] and then by the [[adjoint functor theorem]]/[[adjoint (∞,1)-functor theorem]]. \end{proof} \begin{remark} \label{}\hypertarget{}{} The ([[comonad|co-]])[[monads]] induced by the [[adjoint triple]] in prop. \ref{BaseChangeIsEssentialGeometricMorphism} have special names in some contexts: \begin{itemize}% \item $f_\ast f^\ast$ is also called the [[function monad]] (or ``[[reader monad]]'', see at \emph{[[monad (in computer science)]]}). \item $f_! f^\ast$ is also called the ``[[writer comonad]]'' (in computer science) \item in [[modal type theory]] $f^\ast f_\ast$ is \emph{[[necessity]]} while $f^\ast f_!$ is \emph{[[possibility]]}. \end{itemize} \end{remark} \begin{prop} \label{}\hypertarget{}{} Here $f^\ast$ is a [[cartesian closed functor]], hence base change of toposes constitutes a cartesian [[Wirthmüller context]]. \end{prop} See at \emph{[[cartesian closed functor]]} for the proof. \begin{prop} \label{}\hypertarget{}{} $f^*$ is a [[logical functor]]. Hence $(f^* \dashv f_*)$ is also an [[atomic geometric morphism]]. \end{prop} This appears for instance as (\hyperlink{MacLaneMoerdijk}{MacLaneMoerdijk, theorem IV.7.2}). \begin{proof} By prop. \ref{BaseChangeIsEssentialGeometricMorphism} $f^*$ is a [[right adjoint]] and hence preserves all [[limit]]s, in particular [[finite limit]]s. Notice that the [[subobject classifier]] of an [[over topos]] $\mathbf{H}/X$ is $(p_2 : \Omega_{\mathbf{H}} \times X \to X)$. This [[product]] is preserved by the [[pullback]] by which $f^*$ acts, hence $f^*$ preserves the subobject classifier. To show that $f^*$ is logical it therefore remains to show that it also preserves [[exponential object]]s. (\ldots{}) \end{proof} \begin{defn} \label{}\hypertarget{}{} A (necessarily essential and atomic) geometric morphism of the form $(f^* \dashv \prod_f)$ is called the \textbf{base change geometric morphism} along $f$. The [[right adjoint]] $f_* = \prod_f$ is also called the [[dependent product]] relative to $f$. The [[left adjoint]] $f_! = \sum_f$ is also called the [[dependent sum]] relative to $f$. In the case $Y = *$ is the [[terminal object]], the base change geometric morphism is also called an \textbf{[[etale geometric morphism]]}. See there for more details \end{defn} \hypertarget{properties}{}\subsection*{{Properties}}\label{properties} \begin{prop} \label{}\hypertarget{}{} If $\mathcal{C}$ is a [[locally cartesian closed category]] then for every morphism $f \colon X \to Y$ in $f$ the [[inverse image]] $f^* \colon \mathcal{C}_{/Y} \to \mathcal{C}_{/X}$ of the base change is a [[cartesian closed functor]]. \end{prop} See at \emph{\href{cartesian%20closed%20functor#Examples}{cartesian closed functor -- Examples}} for a proof. \hypertarget{examples}{}\subsection*{{Examples}}\label{examples} \hypertarget{AlongDeloopingsOfGroupHomomorphisms}{}\subsubsection*{{Along $\mathbf{B}H \to \mathbf{B}G$}}\label{AlongDeloopingsOfGroupHomomorphisms} For $\mathbf{H}$ an [[(∞,1)-topos]] and $G$ an group object in $\mathbf{H}$ (an [[∞-group]]), then the [[slice (∞,1)-topos]] over its [[delooping]] may be identified with the [[(∞,1)-category]] of $G$-[[∞-actions]] (see there for more): \begin{displaymath} Act_G(\mathbf{H}) \simeq \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G} \,. \end{displaymath} Under this identification, then left and right base change long a morphism of the form $\mathbf{B}H \to \mathbf{B}G$ (corresponding to an [[∞-group]] homomorphism $H \to G$) corresponds to forming [[induced representations]] and [[coinduced representations]], respectively. \hypertarget{AlongPointInclusionIntoBG}{}\subsubsection*{{Along $\ast \to \mathbf{B}G$}}\label{AlongPointInclusionIntoBG} As the special case of the \hyperlink{AlongDeloopingsOfGroupHomomorphisms}{above} for $H = 1$ the trivial group we obtain the following: \begin{prop} \label{CyclicLoopSpace}\hypertarget{CyclicLoopSpace}{} Let $\mathbf{H}$ be any [[(∞,1)-topos]] and let $G$ be a group object in $\mathbf{H}$ (an [[∞-group]]). Then the base change along the canonical point inclusion \begin{displaymath} i \;\colon\; \ast \to \mathbf{B}G \end{displaymath} into the [[delooping]] of $G$ takes the following form: There is a pair of [[adjoint ∞-functors]] of the form \begin{displaymath} \mathbf{H} \underoverset { \underset{i_\ast \simeq [G,-]/G}{\longrightarrow}} { \overset{i^\ast \simeq hofib}{\longleftarrow}} {\bot} \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G} \,, \end{displaymath} where \begin{itemize}% \item $hofib$ denotes the operation of taking the [[homotopy fiber]] of a map to $\mathbf{B}G$ over the canonical basepoint; \item $[G,-]$ denotes the [[internal hom]] in $\mathbf{H}$; \item $[G,-]/G$ denotes the [[homotopy quotient]] by the [[conjugation action|conjugation]] [[∞-action]] for $G$ equipped with its canonical [[∞-action]] by left multiplication and the argument regarded as equipped with its trivial $G$-$\infty$-action (for $G = S^1$ then this is the [[cyclic loop space]] construction). \end{itemize} Hence for \begin{itemize}% \item $\hat X \to X$ a $G$-[[principal ∞-bundle]] \item $A$ a [[coefficient]] object, such as for some [[differential cohomology|differential]] [[generalized cohomology theory]] \end{itemize} then there is a [[natural equivalence]] \begin{displaymath} \underset{ \text{original} \atop \text{fluxes} }{ \underbrace{ \mathbf{H}(\hat X\;,\; A) } } \;\; \underoverset {\underset{oxidation}{\longleftarrow}} {\overset{reduction}{\longrightarrow}} {\simeq} \;\; \underset{ \text{doubly} \atop { \text{dimensionally reduced} \atop \text{fluxes} } }{ \underbrace{ \mathbf{H}(X \;,\; [G,A]/G) } } \end{displaymath} given by \begin{displaymath} \left( \hat X \longrightarrow A \right) \;\;\; \leftrightarrow \;\;\; \left( \itexarray{ X && \longrightarrow && [G,A]/G \\ & \searrow && \swarrow \\ && \mathbf{B}G } \right) \end{displaymath} \end{prop} \begin{proof} The statement that $i^\ast \simeq hofib$ follows immediately by the definitions. What we need to see is that the [[dependent product]] along $i$ is given as claimed. To that end, first observe that the [[conjugation action]] on $[G,X]$ is the [[internal hom]] in the [[(∞,1)-category]] of $G$-[[∞-actions]] $Act_G(\mathbf{H})$. Under the [[equivalence of (∞,1)-categories]] \begin{displaymath} Act_G(\mathbf{H}) \simeq \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G} \end{displaymath} (from \href{https://ncatlab.org/schreiber/show/Principal+%E2%88%9E-bundles+--+theory%2C+presentations+and+applications}{NSS 12}) then $G$ with its canonical [[∞-action]] is $(\ast \to \mathbf{B}G)$ and $X$ with the trivial action is $(X \times \mathbf{B}G \to \mathbf{B}G)$. Hence \begin{displaymath} [G,X]/G \simeq [\ast, X \times \mathbf{B}G]_{\mathbf{B}G} \;\;\;\;\; \in \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G} \,. \end{displaymath} So far this is the very definition of what $[G,X]/G \in \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G}$ is to mean in the first place. But now since the [[slice (∞,1)-topos]] $\mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G}$ is itself [[cartesian closed (infinity,1)-category|cartesian closed]], via \begin{displaymath} E \times_{\mathbf{B}G}(-) \;\;\; \dashv \;\;\; [E,-]_{\mathbf{B}G} \end{displaymath} it is immediate that there is the following sequence of [[natural equivalences]] \begin{displaymath} \begin{aligned} \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G}(Y, [G,X]/G) & \simeq \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G}(Y, [\ast, X \times \mathbf{B}G]_{\mathbf{B}G}) \\ & \simeq \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G}( Y \times_{\mathbf{B}G} \ast, \underset{p^\ast X}{\underbrace{X \times \mathbf{B}G }} ) \\ & \simeq \mathbf{H}( \underset{hofib(Y)}{\underbrace{p_!(Y \times_{\mathbf{B}G} \ast)}}, X ) \\ & \simeq \mathbf{H}(hofib(Y),X) \end{aligned} \end{displaymath} Here $p \colon \mathbf{B}G \to \ast$ denotes the terminal morphism and $p_! \dashv p^\ast$ denotes the [[base change]] along it. \end{proof} See also at \emph{[[double dimensional reduction]]} for more on this. \hypertarget{along__3}{}\subsubsection*{{Along $V/G \to \mathbf{B}G$}}\label{along__3} More generally: \begin{prop} \label{RightBaseChangeAlongUniversalFiberBundleProjection}\hypertarget{RightBaseChangeAlongUniversalFiberBundleProjection}{} Let $\mathbf{H}$ be an [[(∞,1)-topos]] and $G \in Grp(\mathbf{H})$ an [[∞-group]]. Let moreover $V \in \mathbf{H}$ be an object equipped with a $G$-[[∞-action]] $\rho$, equivalently (by the discussion there) a [[homotopy fiber sequence]] of the form \begin{displaymath} \itexarray{ V \\ \downarrow \\ V/G & \overset{p_\rho}{\longrightarrow}& \mathbf{B}G } \end{displaymath} Then \begin{enumerate}% \item pullback along $p_\rho$ is the operation that assigns to a morphism $c \colon X \to \mathbf{B}G$ the $V$-[[fiber ∞-bundle]] which is [[associated ∞-bundle|associated]] via $\rho$ to the $G$-[[principal ∞-bundle]] $P_c$ classified by $c$: \begin{displaymath} (p_\rho)^\ast \;\colon\; c \mapsto P_c \times_G V \end{displaymath} \item the right base change along $p_\rho$ is given on objects of the form $X \times (V/G)$ by \begin{displaymath} (p_\rho)_\ast \;\colon\; X \times (V/G) \;\mapsto\; [V,X]/G \end{displaymath} \end{enumerate} \end{prop} \begin{proof} The first statement is \href{https://ncatlab.org/schreiber/show/Principal+%E2%88%9E-bundles+--+theory%2C+presentations+and+applications}{NSS 12, prop. 4.6}. The second statement follows as in the proof of prop. \ref{CyclicLoopSpace}: Let \begin{displaymath} \left( \itexarray{ Y \\ \downarrow^{\mathrlap{c}} \\ \mathbf{B}G } \right) \;\in\; \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G} \end{displaymath} be any object, then there is the following sequence of [[natural equivalences]] \begin{displaymath} \begin{aligned} \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G}(Y, [V,X]/G) & \simeq \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G}(Y, [V/G, X \times \mathbf{B}G]_{\mathbf{B}G}) \\ & \simeq \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G}( Y \times_{\mathbf{B}G} (V/G), \underset{p^\ast X}{\underbrace{X \times \mathbf{B}G }} ) \\ & \simeq \mathbf{H}_{/\mathbf{B}G} ( (p_\rho)_!( P_c \times_G (V/G) ), p^\ast X ) \\ & \simeq \mathbf{H}_{/(V/G)} ( P_c \times_G V, (p_\rho)^\ast p^\ast X ) \\ & \simeq \mathbf{H}_{/(V/G)}(P_c \times_G V, X \times (V/G)) \end{aligned} \end{displaymath} where again \begin{displaymath} p \colon \mathbf{B}G \to \ast \,. \end{displaymath} \end{proof} \begin{example} \label{SymmetricPowers}\hypertarget{SymmetricPowers}{} \textbf{(symmetric powers)} Let \begin{displaymath} G = \Sigma(n) \in Grp(Set) \hookrightarrow Grp(\infty Grpd) \overset{LConst}{\longrightarrow} \mathbf{H} \end{displaymath} be the [[symmetric group]] on $n$ elements, and \begin{displaymath} V = \{1, \cdots, n\} \in Set \hookrightarrow \infty Grpd \overset{LConst}{\longrightarrow} \mathbf{H} \end{displaymath} the $n$-element [[set]] ([[h-set]]) equipped with the canonical $\Sigma(n)$-[[action]]. Then prop. \ref{RightBaseChangeAlongUniversalFiberBundleProjection} says that right base change of any $p_\rho^\ast p^\ast X$ along \begin{displaymath} \{1, \cdots, n\}/\Sigma(n) \longrightarrow \mathbf{B}\Sigma(n) \end{displaymath} is equivalently the $n$th [[symmetric power]] of $X$ \begin{displaymath} [\{1,\cdots, n\},X]/\Sigma(n) \simeq (X^n)/\Sigma(n) \,. \end{displaymath} \end{example} \hypertarget{related_concepts}{}\subsection*{{Related concepts}}\label{related_concepts} \begin{itemize}% \item [[pullback]], [[fiber product]], \item [[lax pullback]], [[comma object]], \item [[(∞,1)-pullback]], [[homotopy pullback]] \item \textbf{base change} \begin{itemize}% \item [[dependent sum]], [[dependent product]] \item [[dependent sum type]], [[dependent product type]] \item [[necessity]], [[possibility]], [[reader monad]], [[writer comonad]] \end{itemize} \item [[proper base change theorem]] \item Base change geometric morphisms may be interpreted in terms of [[fiber integration]].
