Presentable objects #

A functor F : C ⥤ D is κ-accessible (Functor.IsCardinalAccessible) if it commutes with colimits of shape J where J is any κ-filtered category (that is essentially small relative to the universe w such that κ : Cardinal.{w}.). We also introduce another typeclass Functor.IsAccessible saying that there exists a regular cardinal κ such that Functor.IsCardinalAccessible.

An object X of a category is κ-presentable (IsCardinalPresentable) if the functor Hom(X, _) (i.e. coyoneda.obj (op X)) is κ-accessible. Similar as for accessible functors, we define a type class IsAccessible.

A functor F : C ⥤ D is κ-accessible (with κ a regular cardinal) if it preserves colimits of shape J where J is any κ-filtered category. In the mathematical literature, some assumptions are often made on the categories C or D (e.g. the existence of κ-filtered colimits, see HasCardinalFilteredColimits below), but here we do not make such assumptions.

    An object X in a category is κ-presentable (for κ a regular cardinal) when the functor Hom(X, _) preserves colimits indexed by κ-filtered categories.
