We study the Yoneda lemma for arbitrary simplicial spaces. We do that by introducing left fibrations of simplicial spaces and and studying its associated model structure, the covariant model structure. In particular, we prove a recognition principle for covariant equivalences over an arbitrary simplicial space and invariance of the covariant model structure with respect to complete Segal space equivalences.
This note is a survey on the basic aspects of moduli theory along with some examples. In that respect, one of the purposes of this current document is to understand how the introduction of stacks circumvents the non-representability problem of the corresponding moduli functor $\mathcal{F}$ by using the 2-category of stacks. To this end, we shall briefly revisit the basics of 2-category theory and present a 2-categorical version of Yoneda's lemma.
We develop some basic concepts in the theory of higher categories internal to an arbitrary $\infty$-topos. We define internal left and right fibrations and prove a version of the Grothendieck construction and of Yoneda's lemma for internal categories.
We use the complete Segal approach to the theory of Cartesian fibrations to define and study representable Cartesian fibrations, generalizing representable right fibrations which have played a key role in $\infty$-category theory. In particular, we give a construction of representable Cartesian fibrations using over-categories and prove the Yoneda lemma for representable Cartesian fibration, which generalizes the established Yoneda lemma for right fibrations. We then use the theory of Cartesian fibrations to study complete Segal objects internal to an $\infty$-category. Concretely, we prove th…
For a small category $\mathcal{D}$ we define fibrations of simplicial presheaves on the category $\mathcal{D}\timesΔ$, which we call localized $\mathcal{D}$-left fibration. We show these fibrations can be seen as fibrant objects in a model structure, the localized $\mathcal{D}$-covariant model structure, that is Quillen equivalent to a category of functors valued in simplicial presheaves on $\mathcal{D}$, where the Quillen equivalence is given via a generalization of the Grothendieck construction. We use our understanding of this construction to give a detailed characterization of fibrations a…
Everyone knows that if you have a bivariant homology theory satisfying a base change formula, you get an representation of a category of correspondences. For theories in which the covariant and contravariant transfer maps are in mutual adjunction, these data are actually equivalent. In other words, a 2-category of correspondences is the universal way to attach to a given 1-category a set of right adjoints that satisfy a base change formula. Through a bivariant version of the Yoneda paradigm, I give a definition of correspondences in higher category theory and prove an extension theorem for biv…
We continue the study of enriched infinity categories, using a definition equivalent to that of Gepner and Haugseng. In our approach enriched infinity categories are associative monoids in an especially designed monoidal category of enriched quivers. We prove that, in case the monoidal structure in the basic category M comes from direct product, our definition is essentially equivalent to the approach via Segal objects. Furthermore, we compare our notion with the notion of category left-tensored over M, and prove a version of Yoneda lemma in this context. Version 2: An error in 2.6.2 corrected…

In previous work, we introduce an axiomatic framework within which to prove theorems about many varieties of infinite-dimensional categories simultaneously. In this paper, we establish criteria implying that an $\infty$-category - for instance, a quasi-category, a complete Segal space, or a Segal category - is complete and cocomplete, admitting limits and colimits indexed by any small simplicial set. Our strategy is to build (co)limits of diagrams indexed by a simplicial set inductively from (co)limits of restricted diagrams indexed by the pieces of its skeletal filtration. We show directly th…
