Geometric constructions preserve fibrations
read the original abstract
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a representable 2-category, and $\mathfrak{T}_\bullet$ a 2-endofunctor of the arrow 2-category $\mathcal{C}^\downarrow$ such that (i) $\mathsf{cod} \mathfrak{T}_\bullet = \mathsf{cod}$ and (ii) $\mathfrak{T}_\bullet$ preserves proneness of morphisms in $\mathcal{C}^\downarrow$. Then $\mathfrak{T}_\bullet$ preserves fibrations and opfibrations in $\mathcal{C}$. The proof takes Street's characterization of (e.g.) opfibrations as pseudoalgebras for 2-monads $\mathfrak{L}_B$ on slice categories $\mathcal{C}/B$ and develops it by defining a 2-monad $\mathfrak{L}_\bullet$ on $\mathcal{C}^\downarrow$ that takes change of base into account, and uses known results on the lifting of 2-functors to pseudoalgebras.
