14.2.2 Corepresentably Full Morphisms

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

Definition 14.2.2.1.1 ▶ Corepresentably Full Morphisms

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

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

given by precomposition by $f$ is full.

Remark 14.2.2.1.2 ▶ Unwinding Definition 14.2.2.1.1

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

of $\mathcal{C}$, there exists a $2$-morphism

of $\mathcal{C}$ such that we have an equality

of pasting diagrams in $\mathcal{C}$, i.e. such that we have

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

Example 14.2.2.1.3 ▶ Examples of Corepresentably Full Morphisms

Here are some examples of corepresentably full morphisms.

1.
Corepresentably Full Morphisms in $\mathsf{Cats}_{\mathsf{2}}$. The corepresentably full morphisms in $\mathsf{Cats}_{\mathsf{2}}$ are characterised in Chapter 11: Categories, Item 7 of Proposition 11.6.2.1.2.
2.
Corepresentably Full Morphisms in $\boldsymbol {\mathsf{Rel}}$. The corepresentably full morphisms in $\boldsymbol {\mathsf{Rel}}$ are characterised in Chapter 8: Relations, of .
