Abstract

We define locally wide finitary 2-categories by relaxing the definition of finitary 2-categories to allow infinitely many objects and isomorphism classes of 1-morphisms and infinite dimensional hom-spaces of 2-morphisms. After defining related concepts including transitive 2-representations in this setting, we provide a new method of constructing coalgebra 1-morphisms associated to transitive 2-representations of locally wide weakly fiat 2-categories, and demonstrate that any such transitive 2-representation is equivalent to a certain subcategory of the category of comodule 1-morphisms over the coalgebra 1-morphism. We finish the paper by examining two classes of examples of locally wide weakly fiat 2-categories: 2-categories associated to certain classes of infinite quivers, and singular Soergel bimodules associated to Coxeter groups with finitely many simple reflections.
