Categorification of "Every domain embeds into a field"?

In the category of commutative rings, every domain embeds into a field. Is this true in the category of presentably symmetric monoidal stable $\infty$-categories? Here's what I mean by that. Let $...

A right adjoint preserves Phi-colimits if and only if the left adjoint does what?

Let $\Phi$ be a class of categories (e.g. filtered categories), and consider an adjunction $L : \mathbf C \rightleftarrows \mathbf D : R$. A $\Phi$-colimit is a colimit whose diagram is in $\Phi$. We ...

Orthogonality relations and accessibility?

Suppose I have a pair of locally presentable categories connected by an accessible functor. Then the preimage of an accessible subcategory of the codomain is an accessible subcategory of the domain. ...

Is every presentable category a limit of locally finitely-presentable categories and finitary left adjoints?

Let $Pr^L$ be the category of presentable categories and left adjoint functors (probably this should be at least a (2,1)-category; anyway ultimately I'm interested in the $(\infty,1)$-setting). For ...

Higher categorical / operadic approach to homotopy associative, homotopy commutative, $H_\infty$ ring spectra?

Let $\mathcal C$ be a symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category, and let $O$ be an operad (for example, $O$ could be an $A_m$ or $E_n$ operad or a tensor product thereof, and $\mathcal C$ could be spaces ...

Does $Pr^L_\kappa \in Pr^L$ behave like an "object classifier" or "universe"?

Let $Pr^L$ denote the $\infty$-category of presentable $\infty$-categories and left adjoint functors. Let $Pr^L_\kappa \subset Pr^L$ denote the locally-full subcategory of $\kappa$-compactly-generated ...

Characterisation of essentially algebraic theories with a fixed set of sorts

It is well known (e.g. Palmgren–Vickers's Partial Horn logic and cartesian categories) that many-sorted essentially algebraic theories (equivalently partial Horn theories / quasi-equational theories / ...

Can we make Pres *-autonomous?

The category $\mathbf{Sup}$ of sup-lattices (posets admitting all supremum and supremum preserving map between them) is a well known example of a $*$-autonomous category: The internal Hom is simply ...

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 ...

In what algebraic categories do finitely presentable objects form a dense cogenerator?

For each $C$ locally finitely presentable category, the full subcategory of finitely presentable objects $C_{fp}$ is a dense generator, i.e. the natural functor $C \to \mathrm{PSh}(C_{fp})$ is a full ...

Is there a "relative version" of the theorem that every locally presentable category has all small limits?

Let $\mathcal C$ be a locally presentable category. Then by definition, $\mathcal C$ has all small colimits. Nontrivially, we also have Theorem 1: (Gabriel and Ulmer?) $\mathcal C$ also has all small ...

Left adjoints for functors out of a Deligne-Kelly tensor product

Let $k$ be a field, and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a locally finitely presentable $k$-linear categories. The Deligne-Kelly tensor product $\mathcal{C}\boxtimes\mathcal{C}$ is the 2-universal locally ...

Is the category of topologically free $k[[h]]$-modules locally presentable?

$\newcommand{\colim}{\operatorname{colim}}$ Let $k$ be a field (of characteristic 0, say) and $M$ be a module over $R=k[[h]]$. Recall that the $h$-adic completion of $M$ is $$ \hat M:=\lim M/h^nM, $$ ...

Why is $\rm{Cat}$ a Cartesian-closed category?

I am interested in naturally occurring symmetric closed monoidal structures on locally presentable categories. Two general examples: Grothendieck topos with Cartesian structure. Here, for example, $\...

Categories in which finite powers commute with filtered colimits

If $\mathcal{C}$ is a category with finite products and filtered colimits, then we say that finite powers commute with filtered colimits in $\mathcal{C}$ if for each natural number $n$, the $n$th ...

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/...

Cellular model of a locally presentable category

According to https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/cellular+model, I call a cellular model of a locally presentable category a set of monomorphisms cofibrantly generating the monomorphisms. I am curious to ...
