Localization of a Bicategory
Let W be a clas of arrows in a bicategory B. A localization of B with respect to W is given by a pseudofunctor JW : B ! B(W1) such that for each w 2 W,
JW(w) is an internal equivalence in B(W1); JW is universal: composition with JW gives an equivalence, PsW(B, C) ' Ps(B(W1), C).

(Bi)Categories of Fractions
For any class W, a representation of this bicategory can be obtained as follows:
1
Objects are those of B;
2
Arrows are given by finite zig-zags
w1
/
w2
wn
/
where all wi are in W;
3
2-Cells are equivalence classes of diagrams that are formal pastings of cells from B such that this would be a valid pasting diagram if all arrows from W were reversed. This bicategory is horribly complicated!

With a Calculus of Fractions
If W satisfies the conditions to admit a bicalculus of fractions, the bicategory B(W1) is given by:
1
Objects are those of B;
2
Arrows are spans

with w in W;
3

Better, but not good enough
The hom-categories can still have proper classes as objects. The equivalence classes of 2-cell diagrams are a priori a bit mysterious and difficult to work with.
Bicategories of Fractions Revisited May, 2019 6 / 39
Localization
Solutions
To obtain small hom-categories require that W be locally small: for each object A in B, the collection of arrows in W with codomain A is small. In order to make W locally small, it is desirable to work with a weaker set of conditions to obtain a bicalculus of fractions. To obtain a better handle on the 2-cells, we will consider conditions under which there are canonical representatives.

This result enables us to define the associativity isomorphisms. It also enables us to use similar techniques to the one given for horizontal composition of arrows to define vertical composition of 2-cell diagrams and whiskering of 2-cells with arrows.

Write hWi for the class of arrows generated by W under composition. If W satisfies the conditions WBF1-5, then hWi satisfies BF1-BF5. The universal properties give us an equivalence of bicategories, B(W1) ' B(hWi1).

Conclusion and Future Work
ProperEtaleGpds(C1) is a bicategory of orbifolds with small hom-categories and canonical representatives for its 2-cells with simplified whiskering. This has set us up for the construction of mapping orbifolds. To learn about the interaction of continuity with these constructions, attend the CMS-meeting in Regina.
