The aim of this book is to provide an exposition of both the theory and the applications of these categories at a level accessible to graduate students. The concepts of lambda-presentable objects, locally lambda-presentable categories, and lambda-accessible categories are discussed in detail. The authors prove that Freyd's essentially algebraic categories are precisely the locally presentable categories. In the final chapter, they treat some advanced topics in model theory. |
