Definition

A morphism of simplicial sets is called

  1. a Kan fibration if it has the right lifting property with respect to every horn inclusion.

  2. a trivial fibration if it has the right lifting property with respect to every boundary inclusion Δ[n]Δ[n]\partial \Delta[n]\hookrightarrow \Delta[n].

  3. a left fibration if it has the right lifting property with respect to every horn inclusion except the right outer one.

  4. a left fibration if it has the right lifting property with respect to every horn inclusion except the left outer one.

  5. a left fibration if it has the right lifting property with respect to every inner horn inclusion.

  6. left anodyne if it has the left lifing property with respect to every left fibration.

  7. right anodyne if it has the left lifing property with respect to every right fibration.

  8. inner anodyne if it has the left lifing property with respect to every inner fibration.

  9. minimal fibration roughly said, when the morphism is determined by its values on the boundaries.

  10. cartesian fibration

  11. cocartesian fibration

  12. categorical fibration

Remark

We have the following intuition in regard to these types of fibrations

  1. Right fibrations are the \infty-categorical analog of fibrations in groupoids.

  2. Left fibrations are the \infty-categorical analog of cofibrations in groupoids.

  3. Cartesian fibrations are the \infty-categorical analog of fibrations (not necessarily in groupoids).

Remark

(anodyne morphisms)

  1. Every map of simplicial sets admits a factorization into an anodyne ((left anodyne, right anodyne, inner anodyne, a cofibration) followed by a Kan fibration (left fibration, right fibration, inner fibration, trivial fibration).

  2. The theory of left fibrations and left anodyne morphisms is dual to that of right fibrations and right anodyne morphisms; i.e. if STS\to T is a left fibration (left anodyne morphisms) iff the induced map S opT opS^{op}\to T^{op} right fibrations and right anodyne morphisms.

2.1

Proposition 2.1.1.3 +

Let F:CDF:C\to D be a functor between categories. The FF is a fibrations in groupoids iff the induced map N(F):N(C)N(D)N(F):N(C)\to N(D) is a left fibration of simplicial sets.

Lemma 2.1.1.4 +

Let q:XSq:X\to S be a left fibration of simplicial sets. The assignment

{hSH sX s ff 1\begin{cases} hS\to H \\ s\mapsto X_s \\f\mapsto f_1 \end{cases}
Remark (2.1.2.2, 2.1.2.9)

(left fibrations) 1. The projection from the over category is a left fibration.

1.The property of being a left fibration is stable under forming functor categories.

2.3 Inner fibrations and minimal inner fibrations

Corollary 2.3.2.2: Fun(Δ[2],C)Fun(Λ 1[2],C)Fun(\Delta[2],C)\to Fun(\Lambda_1[2],C) is a trivial fibration.

Every \infty-category is categorial equivalenct to a minimal \infty-category.

2.3.3. Minimal inner fibrations

Definition 2.3.3.1

Let p:XSp : X \to S be an inner fibration of simplicial sets. pp is called minimal inner fibration if f=f f = f^\prime for every pair of maps f,f :Δ[n]Xf , f ^\prime : \Delta[n] \to X which are homotopic relative to Δ[n]\partial \Delta[n] over SS .

An \infty-category CC is called minimal \infty-category if C*C\to * is minimal.

(…)

Every \infty-category is equivalent to a minimal \infty-category.

2.3.4 Theory of nn-categories

Proposition 2.3.4.19

  2. h nCh_n C is an nn-category.

  3. If CC is an nn-category, then the natural map Θ:Ch nC\Theta:C\to h_n C is an isomorphism.

  4. For every nn-category DD, composition with Θ\Theta is an isomorphism of simplicial sets Fun(h nC,D)Fun(C,D)Fun(h_n C,D)\to Fun(C,D).

2.1.4 The covariant model structure

This section is a preparation for the Grothendieck consruction for \infty-categories.

cone point

The covariant model structure is a ‘’relative model structure’‘

Definition 2.1.4.5

Let SS be a simplicial set . A morphism f:XYf:X\to Y in sSet /SsSet_{/S} is called a

(C) covariant cofibration if it is a monomorphism of simplicial sets.

(W) a covariant weak equivalence if the induced map

X XSY YSX^\triangleleft\coprod_X S\to Y^\triangleleft\coprod_Y S

is a categorical weak equivalence.

(F) covariant fibration if it has the right lifting property with respect to every map wich is both a covariant cofibration and a covariant equivalence.

Lemma 2.1.4.6

every left anodyne map is a covariant equivalence

Proposition 2.1.4.7

2.2.5 The Joyal model structure

Requisite: Theorem 2.4.6.1: Let XX be a simplicial set. Then XX is fibrant in the Joyal model structure iff XX is an \infty-category.

Theorem 2.2.5.1

The exists a left proper, combinatorial model structure on the category of simplicial sets such that

(C) Cofibrations are precisely monomorphisms

(W) A map pp is a categorical equivalence iff S(p)S(p) is an equivalence of simplicial categories. WhereS:sSetsCatS:sSet\to sCat denotes the functor induced via Kan extension by the cosimplicial object :ΔsCat\mathfrak{C}:\Delta\to sCat, Definition 1.1.5.1, HTT.

X /fX /y× S p(y)S /p(f)X_{/f}\to X_{/y}\times_{S_{p(y)}} S_{/p(f)}

is a trivial Kan fibration.

Proposition 2.4.1.3
  1. Every edge of a simplicial set is pp cartesian for an isomorphism.

  2. Let pp be an inner fibration, let qq be the pullback of pp (which s then also an inner fibration). Then an edge is pp cartesian if ‘’its pullback’‘ is qq-cartesian.
