Do pseudo 2-limits commute?
It is a well-known fact that if $F:\mathcal{C}_1\times\mathcal{C}_2\rightarrow \mathcal{D}$ is a functor (between 1-categories), then $F$ has a limit if and only if $F:\mathcal{C}_1\rightarrow Fun(\...

Adjoining a morphism to a finitely complete category
Let $\mathscr C$ be a finitely complete category. Let $x, y$ be objects of $\mathscr C$. We can describe the universal property of freely adjoining a morphism $x \to y$ to $\mathscr C$: it comprises a ...

Is totality a (large) cocompleteness condition?
A locally small category $A$ is called total if its Yoneda embedding $A \to [A^\circ, \mathbf{Set}]$ has a left adjoint. Such categories are necessarily small-cocomplete (since the presheaf category ...

Relation between two limit presentations of Eilenberg--Moore objects
Let $\mathbb{T}=({\cal T}\colon C\to C,\mu,\eta)$ be a monad (in the
$2$-category $\mathsf{Cat}$), which we view as a $2$-functor
$\mathbb{T}\colon\mathsf{B}\Delta_{\mathrm{a}}\to\mathsf{Cat}$ (where
$...

Free cocompletion of a 2-category under pseudo colimits, lax colimits, and colax colimits
Let $\mathscr K$ be a small 2-category. It follows from $\mathrm{Cat}$-enriched category theory that the free cocompletion of $\mathscr K$ under strict 2-colimits of 2-functors is given by the 2-...

Universal property of 2-presheaves and pseudo/lax/colax natural transformations
For each small 2-category $\mathscr K$, the 2-category $[\mathscr K^\circ, \mathrm{Cat}]$ of 2-functors and 2-natural transformations has a universal property: it is the free cocompletion of $\mathscr ...

Reference for the existence of bicolimits in groupoids and categories?
I am looking for a reference of these, I would say, very well known facts. (strangely though finding a reference was bit trick for me).
Let $C$ be a category and $F:C\rightarrow Cat$ a 2-functor in ...
