Closedness properties of internal relations. IV: Expressing additivity of a category via subtractivity.
Among cocomplete categories, the locally presentable ones can be defined as those with a strong generator consisting of presentable objects. Assuming Vopěnka’s Principle, we prove that a cocomplete category is locally presentable if and only if it has a colimit dense subcategory and a generator consisting of presentable objects. We further show that a -element set is colimit-dense in , and spaces of countable dimension are colimit-dense in .
