14.1.5 Morphisms Representably Full on Cores

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a bicategory.

A $1$-morphism $f\colon A\to B$ of $\mathcal{C}$ is representably full on cores if, for each $X\in \operatorname {\mathrm{Obj}}(\mathcal{C})$, the functor

\[ f_{*}\colon \mathsf{Core}(\mathsf{Hom}_{\mathcal{C}}(X,A))\to \mathsf{Core}(\mathsf{Hom}_{\mathcal{C}}(X,B)) \]

given by postcomposition by $f$ is full.

In detail, $f$ is representably full on cores if, for each $X\in \operatorname {\mathrm{Obj}}(\mathcal{C})$ and each $2$-isomorphism

of $\mathcal{C}$, there exists a $2$-isomorphism
of $\mathcal{C}$ such that we have an equality
of pasting diagrams in $\mathcal{C}$, i.e. such that we have

\[ \beta =\operatorname {\mathrm{id}}_{f}\mathbin {\star }\alpha . \]
