When is the partial map classifier a Sierpiński cone?
Leoni Pugh, Jonathan Sterling
Abstract
We study the relationship between partial map classifiers, Sierpiński cones, and axioms for synthetic higher categories and domains within univalent foundations. In particular, we show that synthetic $\infty$-categories are closed under partial map classifiers assuming Phoa's principle, and we isolate a new reflective subuniverse of types within which the Sierpiński cone (a lax colimit) can be computed as a partial map classifier by strengthening the Segal condition.
