Length of Fully Faithful Framed Bicategories

摘要

The length of a double category is a numerical invariant that quantifies the amount of ”work” required to rebuild the double category from its purely globular data. The minimal possible length is 1. It is conjectured that every framed bicategory realizes this minimal value. In this paper we confirm the conjecture for a subclass of framed bicategories: those whose unit squares are all cartesian/op-cartesian. We refer to such structures as fully-faithful/absolutely dense framed bicategories. The conjecture follows from a result relating the internal structure of fully faithful/absolutely dense framed bicategories to crossed products of decorated bicategories by \(\pi _2\) π 2 -indexings.
