Semisimplicity manifesting as categorical smallness
Abstract
For a compact group , the functor from unital Banach algebras with contractive morphisms to metric spaces with 1-Lipschitz maps sending a Banach algebra to the space of -representations in preserves filtered colimits. Along with this, we prove a number of analogues: one can substitute unitary representations in -algebras, as well as semisimple finite-dimensional Banach algebras (or finite-dimensional -algebras) for . These all mimic results on the metric-enriched finite generation/presentability of finite-dimensional Banach spaces due to Ad{\'a}mek and Rosick{\'y}. We also give an alternative proof of that finite presentability result, along with parallel results on functors represented by compact metric, metric convex, or metric absolutely convex spaces.
