Beck–Chevalley condition
In category theory, the Beck–Chevalley condition is a coherence condition relating adjoint functors associated with a commutative square of categories. It states that, under suitable assumptions, two canonical ways of transporting information around the square coincide up to a natural isomorphism.
The condition appears throughout category theory, especially in the theory of fibrations, toposes, indexed categories, descent theory, categorical logic, and algebraic geometry. It is named after Jonathan Mock Beck and Claude Chevalley.[1]

The focus is on fibred category as universal tool in categorical logic, which is necessary in dealing with polymorphic and dependent types.
