13.2.2 Corepresentably Full Morphisms

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

    Definition 13.2.2.1.1 ▶ Corepresentably Full Morphisms

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

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

    given by precomposition by $f$ is full.

    Remark 13.2.2.1.2 ▶ Unwinding Definition 13.2.2.1.1

    In detail, $f$ is corepresentably full if, for each $X\in \operatorname {\mathrm{Obj}}\webleft (\mathcal{C}\webright )$ 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 13.2.2.1.3 ▶ 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, Item 2 of Proposition 8.4.10.1.1.
