coaccessible

A category is coaccessible if its opposite category is accessible.

• Dual property: accessible
• Related properties: locally copresentable

Relevant implications

• accessible andself-dual implies coaccessible
• Cauchy complete andessentially small implies coaccessible
• coaccessible andcocomplete is equivalent to locally copresentable
• coaccessible andpullbacks implies well-powered
• coaccessible andself-dual implies accessible
• coaccessible implies Cauchy complete
• coaccessible implies cogenerating set
• coaccessible implies locally essentially small
• coaccessible implies well-copowered
• locally copresentable is equivalent to coaccessible andcomplete
