Abstract

There is a well-known correspondence between coherent theories (and their interpretations) and coherent categories (resp. functors), hence the (2,1)-category \mathbfCoh (of small coherent categories, coherent functors and all natural isomorphisms) is of logical interest. We prove that this category admits all small 2-limits and 2-colimits (in the (∞ ,1)-categorical sense), and prove a 2-categorical small object argument to provide weak factorisation systems for coherent functors.
