Original Abstract

Accessible categories admit a purely category-theoretic replacement for cardinality: the internal size. Generalizing results and methods from [LRV19b], we examine set-theoretic problems related to internal sizes and prove several Lowenheim-Skolem theorems for accessible categories. For example, assuming the singular cardinal hypothesis, we show that a large accessible category has an object in all internal sizes of high-enough co-finality. We also prove that accessible categories with directed colimits have filtrations: any object of sufficiently high internal size is (the retract of) a colimit of a chain of strictly smaller objects.
