Abstract: Categorical structures and their pseudomaps rarely form locally presentable 2-categories in the sense of Cat-enriched category theory. However, we show that if the categorical structure in question is sufficiently weak (such as the structure of monoidal, but not strict monoidal, categories) then the 2-category in question is accessible. Furthermore, we explore the flexible limits that such 2-categories possess and their interaction with filtered colimits.

Review text

Categorical structures and their pseudomaps rarely form locally presentable \(2\)-categories in the sense of \(\mathbf{Cat}\)-enriched category theory. However, the author shows that if the categorical structure in question is sufficiently weak (such as the structure of monoidal, but not strict monoidal, categories) then the \(2\)-category in question is accessible. Furthermore, he explores the flexible limits that such \(2\)-categories possess and their interaction with filtered colimits.
