Theorem Fibre Optics for Markov Bundles [lcc-0007]

Let \mathcal {C} be a Markov category, and consider the category of bundles in \mathcal {C}. Suppose \mathcal {C} satisfies the pullback condition for \mathsf {Bun}(\mathcal {C}) \to \mathcal {C}_\mathrm {det} to be a fibration

Now consider fibre optics applied to the self-action of the fibration \mathsf {Bun}(\mathcal {C}) \to \mathcal {C}_\mathrm {det}. Let us abbreviate \mathsf {FibOptic}^{\mathcal {C}_\mathrm {det}}_{\mathsf {Bun}(\mathcal {C})}(\mathsf {Bun}(\mathcal {C}),\mathsf {Bun}(\mathcal {C})) by merely \mathsf {FibOptic}(\mathcal {C}). Let us also abbreviate \mathsf {Bun}(\mathcal {C}) = \mathsf {Bun}, and write the fibers as usual as \mathsf {Bun}_I

  • Given two objects (I,X \to I, A \to I), (J, Y \to J, A \to J) of \mathsf {FibOptic}(\mathcal {C}), the set of morphisms can be written as \int ^{M \in \mathsf {Bun}_{I \times J}} \mathsf {Bun}_I(X, M \times _J Y) \times \mathsf {Bun}_I(M \times _J B, A)
  • Given an object (I, Y,B), this object is isomorphic to (Y, Y, B \times _I Y)
  • The set of maps into an object (Y,Y,B) of this form (out of I, X, A) is given by \int ^{M \in \mathsf {Bun}_{I \times Y}} \mathsf {Bun}_I(X,M) \times \mathsf {Bun}_I(M \times _J B, A).
  • In particular, \mathsf {FibOptic}(\mathcal {C}) is equivalent to the category where objects are deterministic morphisms A \to X \in \mathcal {C}, and the set of morphisms (A \to X) \to (B \to Y) is given by \int ^{M \in \mathsf {Bun}_{X \times Y}} \mathcal {C}_{/X}(X,M) \times \mathcal {C}_{/X}(M \times _Y B, A)
  • The set of maps (X, X, A \times X) \to (Y, Y, B \otimes Y) is in bijection with the set of simple optics \mathsf {Optic}(\mathcal {C})((X,A),(Y,B))
