Nov 28, 2013 at 23:09 comment added David Carchedi Ah- well, I suppose one needs the caveat that $\mathcal{A}$ is also locally small, which a big group is not.
Nov 28, 2013 at 23:09 comment added Zhen Lin The Elephant has a few things to say about pretoposes scattered here and there, but you can probably find more information by looking up lextensive and effective regular categories separately.
Nov 28, 2013 at 23:07 comment added Zhen Lin That's certainly not true. As I said, $[\mathcal{A}^\mathrm{op}, \mathbf{Set}]$ is locally small when $\mathcal{A}$ is a "big group". Indeed, the hom-sets are even subsets of the hom-sets of the underlying sets!
Nov 28, 2013 at 23:04 comment added David Carchedi By the way, in light of Todd's answere here: mathoverflow.net/questions/24540/… it seems $[\mathcal{A}^{op},\mathbf{Set}]$ is only locally small if $\mathcal{A}$ is essentially small.
