Topic: Gabriel-Ulmer duality


view this post on Zulip Joe Moeller (Jun 09 2020 at 22:44):

I was reading about Gabriel Ulmer duality: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Gabriel-Ulmer+duality
It says that the 2-categories [finitely complete cats, finite limit preserving functors, natural transformations]op^{op} and [locally finitely presentable cats, finitary right adjoint functors, natural transformations] are equivalent.

I was wondering if there's a generalization for locally κ\kappa-presentable categories, for some cardinal κ\kappa, or locally presentable categories?

Good question! Nitpick: there's an "op" in the equivalence you mentioned, since it comes from the map sending a finitely complete category T\mathsf{T} to its category of models Lex(T,Set)\mathsf{Lex}(\mathsf{T}, \mathsf{Set}), which is contravariant.

Fixed.

Yes, this follows from the general duality theorem of Centazzo–Vitale's A duality relative to a limit doctrine, where the limit doctrine D\mathbb D is chosen to be the doctrine of κ\kappa-small limits (see Adámek–Borceux–Lack–Rosický's A classification of accessible categories).

The statement (based on Centazzo-Vitale) is written down in detail in Gabriel-Ulmer duality for topoi and its relation with site presentations by Ivan Di Liberti and Julia Ramos González.
