Topic: "free finite completion" of an enriched category


view this post on Zulip Ari Rosenfield (Jan 15 2025 at 23:57):

Hi, this is my first post ever! Does anyone here know of a reference discussing the free completion with respect to finite weighted limits of an enriched category (where the enriching category is sufficiently "nice;" i.e. closed symmetric monoidal, locally finitely presentable, etc.)?

Either an explicit construction or an argument for its existence would do.

The usual reference would be Theorem 5.35 of Kelly's Basic Concepts of Enriched Category Theory, which gives the construction more generally for a given class of weights.
