Jun 1, 2021 at 21:23 comment added varkor I don't know of any references for the variant without small-cocompleteness!

Jun 1, 2021 at 21:21 comment added varkor Thanks. I had interpreted Theorem 8 as showing total categories to be equivalent to compact categories, but this is not true, because Ulmer's "Yoneda embedding" is really a restricted variant.
Jun 1, 2021 at 20:59 comment added Martin Brandenburg Compact categories don't have to be cocomplete, see the mentioned paper "Compact and hypercomplete categories", Example 3.15. (I guess that this example is also strongly compact.) I don't see why Ulmer's paper should imply this.
Jun 1, 2021 at 16:36 comment added varkor @MartinBrandenburg: compact categories are cocomplete and complete (by virtue of Ulmer's theorem), so it seems reasonable to also assume cocompleteness for strongly compact categories (it also seems a natural condition to impose to ask for preservation of small colimits from $\mathcal C$). Ulmer requires small-cocompleteness, for instance. I don't know whether the same results will hold if you relax that assumption.

Jun 1, 2021 at 16:09 comment added Martin Brandenburg I don't understand the second sentence in your answer, since strongly compact categories don't need to be cocomplete (right?) - they are just complete.
Jun 1, 2021 at 14:50 comment added varkor @MartinBrandenburg: I did indeed, thanks :)

Jun 1, 2021 at 14:46 comment added Martin Brandenburg Great! In the first paragraph, do you mean "is a left adjoint"?

Jun 1, 2021 at 13:46 comment added varkor @IvanDiLiberti: I overlooked that subtlety. Thanks. This isn't quite the right concept.

Jun 1, 2021 at 13:42 comment added Ivan Di Liberti A category is $\mathcal{C}$ is strongly compact if and only if every COCONTINUOUS functor satisfies the solution set condition. This makes things different. The notion of strong compactness should be seen as a kind of totality.
Jun 1, 2021 at 12:58 comment added Martin Brandenburg Thanks. Can you perhaps add the definition of "petit with respect to small presheaves" in the special case relevant to my question? The paper deals with more general objects.
