Topic: Classes in Category Theory


view this post on Zulip semih ozlem (Jun 28 2023 at 19:01):

How is notion of class in vNBG (von Neuman Bernays Godel) set theory and in Grothendieck Universe approach related? In Grothendieck Universe approach a class is a subset of the universe whereas a class is something different than a set in the prior theory? What sort of a difference would it make in the development of the theory if we use Grothendieck Universe convention for a class as opposed to vNBG set theory approach to class?

I wrote a fairly extensive note on set theory for category theory addressing questions like this.
