Abstract

We prove general adjoint functor theorems for weakly (co)complete nn-categories. This class of nn-categories includes the homotopy nn-categories of (co)complete \infty-categories, so these nn-categories do not admit all small (co)limits in general. We also introduce Brown representability for (homotopy) nn-categories and prove a Brown representability theorem for localizations of compactly generated nn-categories. This class of nn-categories includes the homotopy nn-categories of presentable \infty-categories if n2n \geq 2, and the homotopy nn-categories of presentable stable \infty-categories for any n1n \geq 1.

Comments

n-GAFT is shown also for n=2; corrected some errors around the proof of Lemma 3.2.9 (Criterion B) and the corresponding examples; other minor improvements in the exposition and some more details. To appear in Documenta Mathematica
