Adjoint functor theorems (AFT's) typically characterize left (resp. right) adjoint functors which are defined on suitable cocomplete (resp. complete) categories. A different type of adjoint functor theorem arises in the context of Brown representability. Important examples of such categories, which satisfy Brown representability, include the homotopy categories of presentable stable \(\infty\)-categories. These categories admit small coproducts, but only weak pushouts in general. \par The authors prove general adjoint functor theorems for weakly (co)complete \(n\)-categories. This class of \(n\)-categories includes the homotopy \(n\)-categories of (co)complete \(\infty\)-categories, so these \(n\)-categories do not admit all small (co)limits in general. Furthermore, Brown representability for (homotopy) \(n\)-categories is introduced and a Brown representability theorem for localizations of compactly generated \(n\)-categories is proved. This class of \(n\)-categories includes the homotopy \(n\)-categories of presentable \(\infty\)-categories if \(n\ge 2\), and the homotopy \(n\)-categories of presentable stable \(\infty\)-categories for any \(n\ge 1\).
