Feb 1, 2022 at 3:18 comment added Ali Enayat @PeterLeFanuLumsdaine I am in agreement with you; I suspect that there is a partial characterizations (by limiting to particular types of inverse limites), and maybe one can prove that the general problem does not admit a "nice" solution.
Feb 1, 2022 at 0:33 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine Nice question; but my off-the-cuff impulse is that I wouldn’t expect such a clean characterisation, since limits of inverse systems (if I’m understanding right that that’s what I’d call directed limits) in Set don’t enjoy such strong well-behavedness properties as direct limits of direct systems (i.e. filtered colimits), since Set is locally finitely presentable but not dually so. Or to put it another way: I’d guess other classes of limits might give more natural answers consider than “limits over inverse systems”.

Jan 28, 2022 at 18:46 comment added Ivan Di Liberti I do not know the answer to this question, but the notion of locally multipresentable category/ universal AEC is related to this one (it is stronger) and might be a good starting point: arxiv.org/abs/1707.09005

fixed the link to van den Berg's slides
Jan 28, 2022 at 11:07 comment added Fedor Pakhomov The link to Benno van den Berg slides doesn't work.
Jan 27, 2022 at 3:39 comment added Ali Enayat @ZhenLin I meant specifivally limits of inverse systems. I added a parenthetical comments to clarify (thanks for your question).

Jan 27, 2022 at 3:12 comment added Zhen Lin There is a gap between "inverse limit" as commonly understood and "limit" as understood by a category theorist. Do you mean specifically limits of inverse systems, or do you also allow products and equalisers?
