Lax functors are a directed weakening of the notion of functors between (∞,2)-categories.
The goal of this talk is to explain a new model-independent perspective on this concept.
In "A study in derived algebraic geometry" the authors Gaitsgory and Rozenblyum use the notion of lax functors to define the lax Gray tensor product.
