Is every locally $\kappa$-presentable category, also locally $\tau$-presentable for any $\tau > \kappa$?

Let $\kappa$ be a small regular cardinal and $D$ a locally $\kappa$-presentable category. Is it true that $D$ is also locally $\tau$-presentable for any $\tau > \kappa.$ Adamek und Rosicky show in &...

Which abelian groups are $\aleph_1$-filtered colimits of finitely-generated abelian groups?

Observation: Every $\aleph_1$-directed colimit $\varinjlim_i X_i$ of finite sets is finite. Proof: Because the $X_i$'s are finite, the Mittag-Leffler condition holds, so by passing to the diagram of ...

Relation between Ind-completion and "additive"-ind-completion

Suppose that $\mathcal{C}$ is a skeletally small additive category. To enlarge $\mathcal{C}$ and produce a bigger category whose "small" objects can be identified with those in $\mathcal{C}$,...

Why are compactly generated $\infty$-categories closed under limits in $\operatorname{Cat}_{\infty}$?

In Proposition 5.5.7.6 of Lurie's Higher Topos Theory, Lurie states that the $\infty$-category $\operatorname{Pr}^R_{\omega}$ of compactly generated $\infty$-categories and filtered-colimit-preserving ...

Coslices of $\mathbb D$-presentable categories

Let $\mathbb D$ be a sound limit doctrine. When $\mathbb D$ is the doctrine of $\lambda$-small limits, then for any $\mathbb D$-presentable category $\mathscr C$ and $X \in \mathscr C$, the coslice $X/...

In a locally presentable category, is every object (a retract of) the colimit of a chain of smaller objects?

Let $\mathcal C$ be an accessible category. For $C \in \mathcal C$, define the presentability rank $rk(C)$ of $C$ to be the minimal regular $\kappa$ such that $C$ is $\kappa$-presentable. Following ...

If $\mathcal C$ is a $\kappa$-accessible $\infty$-category, then is $Mor \mathcal C$ $\kappa$-accessible?

If $\mathcal C$ is a $\kappa$-accessible 1-category, then the category of morphisms $Mor \mathcal C$ is a $\kappa$-accessible 1-category, with the $\kappa$-presentable objects being those morphisms ...

Characterizing the left / right classes of (weak) factorization systems in locally presentable categories

Let $\mathcal M \subseteq Mor(\mathcal C)$ be a class of morphisms in a locally presentable category. It's well-known that $\mathcal M$ is the left half of an accessible orthogonal factorization ...

Is every limit-closed, accessibly-embedded full subcategory of a presentable $\infty$-category reflective?

Let $C$ be a presentable $\infty$-category and let $D\subseteq C$ be a full subcategory closed under limits and sufficiently-filtered colimits. If $D$ is known to be accessible, then by the adjoint ...

Adjusting the definition of a well-powered category to category theory with universes: size issues

Wikipedia and Borceux (Handbook of Categorical Algebra, Part I) give the following definitions of subobjects and well-powered categories: A subobject of an object $X$ of a category $\mathsf{C}$ is an ...

Non-small objects in categories

An object $c$ in a category is called small, if there exists some regular cardinal $\kappa$ such that $Hom(c,-)$ preserves $\kappa$-filtered colimits. Is there an example of a (locally small) ...

Example of non accessible model categories

By curiosity, I would like to see an example of a model category with the underlying category locally presentable which is not accessible in this sense (and just in case: even by using Vopěnka's ...
