Fibrewise Orthogonal Morphisms

A pair of morphisms e : A B , m : X Y : 𝑒 𝐴 𝐵 𝑚 : 𝑋 𝑌 e:{{A}\to{B}},m:{{X}\to{Y}} are said to be fibrewise orthogonal, denoted e \fperp m 𝑒 \fperp 𝑚 e\fperp m if every Base Change e superscript 𝑒 e^{*} of e 𝑒 e is Orthogonal to m 𝑚 m .

Explicitly, this means that for every u 𝑢 u fitting into a diagram

u(X)superscript𝑢𝑋{{u^{*}(X)}}X𝑋{X}A𝐴{A}I𝐼{I}Y𝑌{Y}B𝐵{B}u(e)superscript𝑢𝑒\scriptstyle{u^{*}(e)}\scriptstyle{\lrcorner}e𝑒\scriptstyle{e}m𝑚\scriptstyle{m}!\scriptstyle{\exists!}u𝑢\scriptstyle{u}

the resulting u ( e ) superscript 𝑢 𝑒 u^{*}(e) is Orthogonal to m 𝑚 m .

Following the terminology for Orthogonal Morphisms, we shall say that e 𝑒 e is fibrewise left orthogonal to m 𝑚 m , and that m 𝑚 m is fibrewise right orthogonal to e 𝑒 e . We can further generalize this terminology to a class of morphisms 𝒜 𝒜 \mathcal{A} , and use 𝒜 \fperp superscript 𝒜 \fperp \mathcal{A}^{\fperp} to denote the class of morphisms that are fibrewise right orthogonal to every map in 𝒜 𝒜 \mathcal{A} , and 𝒜 \fperp superscript 𝒜 \fperp {}^{\fperp}\mathcal{A} to denote the class of morphisms that are fibrewise left orthogonal to every map in 𝒜 𝒜 \mathcal{A} .
