Enriched indexed categories

Michael Shulman

We develop a theory of categories which are simultaneously (1) indexed over a base category $S$ with finite products, and (2) enriched over an $S$-indexed monoidal category $V$. This includes classical enriched categories, indexed and fibered categories, and internal categories as special cases. We then describe the appropriate notion of ``limit'' for such enriched indexed categories, and show that they admit ``free cocompletions'' constructed as usual with a Yoneda embedding.

Keywords: monoidal category, enriched category, indexed category, fibered category
