If someone opens a separate issue listing, say, 10 concrete and interesting examples of double categories together with 20 concrete properties, I will definitely add support for them.
The following are given without explanation for now, but I can add context on request. I merely wanted to illustrate that there certainly are enough concrete examples and properties of interest.
Examples of double categories
- Sq(Set)
- Span
- Rel
- SMult
- Par
- Dist
- RingMod
- Poly
- Comod(Poly)
- The double category whose objects are toposes, tight morphisms are geometric morphisms (in the algebraic direction), and loose morphisms are lex functors.
Properties of double categories
- Has companions
- Has conjoints
- Is replete (has companions/conjoints of invertible tight morphisms specifically)
- Has tabulators
- Has effective tabulators
- Has limits of loose comonads
- Has local limits
- Has parallel limits
- Is cartesian closed
- Has power objects
- Has (right) lifts
- Has (right) extensions
- Is exact
- Is Cauchy
- Is right-connected
- Is locally preordered
- Is strict
- Is crossed
- Is unit-pure
- Is a double category of relations
