The Grothendieck construction relates
categories of fibrations with contravariant functor categories with codomain
categories of fibrations in groupoids with contravariant functor categories with codomain
and dually
categories of cofibrations with covariant functor categories with codomain
categories of cofibrations in groupoids with covariant functor categories with codomain
To categorify this constructions to -category theory we have the following dictionary of notions
‘’right fibration‘’ (HTT, 2..1.) generalizes ‘’fibration in groupoids‘’
‘’left fibration‘’ (HTT, 2..1.) generalizes ‘’cofibration in groupoids?‘’
‘’cartesian fibration‘’ (HTT, 2.4) generalizes ‘’Grothendieck fibration‘’
On the level of model categories this is accomplished in the following way:
contravariant model structure (HTT, 2.1.4) aka. model structure for right fibrations.
covariant model structure (HTT, 2.1.4) aka. model structure for left fibrations.
( is an excellent model category Example A.3.2.18)
Proposition 2.1.4.8 (p.65): For a simplicial set the ovecategory is a simplicial enriched model category. A.3.1.7
cartesian fibration?
