Accessible categories with a class of limits

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we characterize those accessible mathcalV-categories that have limits of a specified class. We do this by introducing the notion of companion mathfrakC for a class of weights Psi, as a collection of special types of colimit diagrams that are compatible with Psi. We then characterize the accessible mathcalV-categories with Psi-limits as those accessibly embedded and mathfrakC-virtually reflective in a presheaf mathcalV-category, and as the mathcalV-categories of mathfrakC-models of sketches. This allows us to recover the standard theorems for locally presentable, locally multipresentable, and locally polypresentable categories as instances of the same general framework. In addition, our theorem covers the case of any weakly sound class Psi, and provides a new perspective on the case of weakly locally presentable categories.
