We introduce a general theory of parametrized objects in the setting of
–categories.
Although parametrised spaces and spectra are the most familiar examples, we
establish our theory in the generality of families of objects of a presentable
–category parametrized
over objects of an
–topos.
We obtain a coherent functor formalism describing the relationship of the
various adjoint functors associated to base-change and symmetric monoidal
structures.
Our main applications are to the study of generalized Thom spectra. We
obtain fiberwise constructions of twisted Umkehr maps for twisted generalized
cohomology theories using a geometric fiberwise construction of Atiyah duality. In
order to characterize the algebraic structures on generalized Thom spectra
and twisted (co)homology, we express the generalized Thom spectrum as
a categorification of the well-known adjunction between units and group
rings.
