Abstract: For any suitable base category $mathcalV$, we find that $mathcalV$-fully faithful lax epimorphisms in $mathcalV$-$mathsfCat$ are precisely those $mathcalV$-functors $FcolonmathcalAomathcalB$ whose induced $mathcalV$-functors $mathsfCauchyFcolonmathsfCauchymathcalAomathsfCauchymathcalB$ between the Cauchy completions are equivalences. For the case $mathcalV=mathsfSet$, this is equivalent to requiring that the induced functor $mathsfCATleft(F,mathsfCatight)$ between the categories of split (op)fibrations is an equivalence. By reducing the study of effective descent functors with respect to the indexed category of split (op)fibrations $mathcalF$ to the study of the codescent factorization, we find that these observations on fully faithful lax epimorphisms provide us with a characterization of (effective) $mathcalF$-descent morphisms in the category of small categories $mathcalCat$; namely, we find that they are precisely the (effective) descent morphisms with respect to the indexed categories of discrete opfibrations -- previously studied by Sobral. We include some comments on the Beck-Chevalley condition and future work.
