Proposition 9.4.8.1 (Accessibility of Diagram $\infty $-Categories). Let $K$ be a small simplicial set. If $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is an accessible $\infty $-category, then the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{Fun}(K, \operatorname{\mathcal{C}})$ is also accessible.
9.4.8 Stability Properties of Accessible $\infty $-Categories
We now record some stability properties for the collection of accessible $\infty $-categories.
Proof. Fix a small regular cardinal $\kappa $ for which $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ admits small $\kappa $-filtered colimits (this condition is satisfied, for example, if $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is accessible). Using Proposition 9.4.6.16, we can choose a small regular cardinal $\lambda > \kappa $ such that $K$ is $\lambda $-small and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is $\lambda $-accessible. We will complete the proof by showing that $\operatorname{Fun}(K,\operatorname{\mathcal{C}})$ is $\lambda $-accessible. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{< \lambda }$ be the full subcategory of $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ spanned by the $\lambda $-compact objects. Since $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{< \lambda }$ is $\kappa $-sequentially cocomplete, Corollary 9.4.5.14 implies that the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{Fun}(K, \operatorname{\mathcal{C}})$ is $\lambda $-compactly generated, and that the full subcategory of $\lambda $-compact objects coincides with $\operatorname{Fun}(K, \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{< \lambda } )$. To complete the proof, it will suffice to show that the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{Fun}(K, \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{< \lambda } )$ is essentially small. This follows from Remark 4.7.5.11, since $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{< \lambda }$ and $K$ are essentially small. $\square$
Remark 9.4.8.2. In the situation of Proposition 9.4.8.1, suppose we are given another accessible $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{D}}$ and a functor $T: \operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\rightarrow \operatorname{Fun}(K, \operatorname{\mathcal{C}})$. Then $T$ is accessible if and only if, for every vertex $x \in K$, the composition $\operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\xrightarrow {T} \operatorname{Fun}(K, \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}) \xrightarrow { \operatorname{ev}_{x} } \operatorname{Fun}( \{ x\} , \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}) \simeq \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is an accessible functor. See Proposition 7.1.8.2.
Proposition 9.4.8.3 (Accessibility of Oriented Fiber Products). Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}$, $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$, and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be accessible $\infty $-categories and suppose we are given accessible functors $F_{-}: \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ and $F_{+}: \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$. Then the oriented fiber product $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm } = \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-} \vec{\times }_{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$ is accessible.
Proof. Using Variant 9.4.7.12, we can choose a small regular cardinal $\kappa $ such that $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}$, $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$ and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ are $\kappa $-accessible and the functors $F_{-}$ and $F_{+}$ are $\kappa $-compact. Applying Corollary 9.4.3.6, we deduce that $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm }$ is $\kappa $-compactly generated. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0} \subseteq \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be the full subcategory spanned by the $\kappa $-compact objects, and define $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0}_{-}$, $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}^{0}$, and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0}_{\pm }$ similarly. We will complete the proof by showing that the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm }^{0}$ is essentially small. By assumption, the $\infty $-categories $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}^{0}$, $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}^{0}$, and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0}$ are essentially small. Using Corollary 9.4.3.6, we can identify $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm }^{0}$ with the oriented fiber product $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}^{0} \vec{\times }_{ \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0} } \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}^{0}$, so the desired result is a special case of Proposition 4.7.5.15. $\square$
Remark 9.4.8.4. In the situation of Proposition 9.4.8.3, suppose we are given another accessible $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{D}}$ and a functor Then $T$ is accessible if and only if the components $T_{-}: \operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}$ and $T_{+}: \operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$ are accessible functors. See Proposition 7.1.9.4.
Corollary 9.4.8.5 (Accessibility of Slices). Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an accessible $\infty $-category and let $F: K \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be a small diagram. Then the slice and coslice $\infty $-categories $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{/F}$ and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{F/}$ are accessible.
Proof. Combine Propositions 9.4.8.1 and 9.4.8.3 with the equivalences
supplied by Theorem 4.6.4.19. $\square$
Remark 9.4.8.6. In the situation of Corollary 9.4.8.5, suppose we are given another accessible $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{D}}$ and a functor $T: \operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{/F}$. Then $T$ is accessible if and only if the composition $\operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\xrightarrow {T} \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{/F} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is accessible (see Remark 9.4.8.4). Similarly, a functor $T': \operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{F/}$ is accessible if and only if the composition $\operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\xrightarrow {T'} \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{F/} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is accessible.
Example 9.4.8.7. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an accessible $\infty $-category. Then, for every object $X \in \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the $\infty $-categories $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{X/}$ and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{/X}$ are also accessible.
Proposition 9.4.8.8 (Accessibility of Homotopy Fiber Products). Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}$, $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$, and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be accessible $\infty $-categories and suppose we are given accessible functors $F_{-}: \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ and $F_{+}: \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$. Then the homotopy fiber product $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm } = \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-} \times ^{\mathrm{h}}_{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$ is accessible.
Proof. Fix a small regular cardinal $\kappa $ such that $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}$ and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$ admit small $\kappa $-filtered colimits which are preserved by the functors $F_{-}$ and $F_{+}$. Using Variant 9.4.7.12, we can choose a small regular cardinal $\lambda > \kappa $ such that $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}$, $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$ and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ are $\lambda $-accessible and the functors $F_{-}$ and $F_{+}$ are $\lambda $-compact. Apply Corollary 9.4.4.10, we deduce that the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm }$ is $\lambda $-compactly generated. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0} \subseteq \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be the full subcategory spanned by the $\lambda $-compact objects, and define $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0}_{-}$, $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}^{0}$, and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0}_{\pm }$ similarly. We will complete the proof by showing that the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm }^{0}$ is essentially small. By assumption, the $\infty $-categories $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}^{0}$, $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}^{0}$, and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0}$ are essentially small. Using Corollary 9.4.4.10, we can identify $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm }^{0}$ with the homotopy fiber product $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}^{0} \times ^{\mathrm{h}}_{ \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}^{0} } \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}^{0}$, so the desired result is a special case of Corollary 4.7.5.16. $\square$
Remark 9.4.8.9. In the situation of Proposition 9.4.8.8, suppose we are given another accessible $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{D}}$ and a functor Then $T$ is accessible if and only if the components $T_{-}: \operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}$ and $T_{+}: \operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$ are accessible functors. See Corollary 7.1.9.7.
Corollary 9.4.8.10. Suppose we are given a categorical pullback square of $\infty $-categories Assume that $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{-}$, $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{+}$, and $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ are accessible $\infty $-categories and that $F_{-}$ and $F_{+}$ are accessible functors. Then the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm }$ and the functors $G_{-}$ and $G_{+}$ are also accessible. Moreover, if $\operatorname{\mathcal{D}}$ is another accessible $\infty $-category, then a functor $T: \operatorname{\mathcal{D}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}_{\pm }$ is accessible if and only if the compositions $G_{-} \circ T$ and $G_{+} \circ T$ are accessible.
Proof. This is a reformulation of Proposition 9.4.8.8 (together with Remark 9.4.8.9). $\square$
Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{QC}}^{\operatorname{Acc}}$ denote the $\infty $-category whose objects are accessible $\infty $-categories and whose morphisms are accessible functors (see Notation 9.4.7.8).
Corollary 9.4.8.11 (Limits of Accessible $\infty $-Categories). The $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{QC}}^{\operatorname{Acc}}$ admits small limits, which are preserved by the inclusion functor $\iota : \operatorname{\mathcal{QC}}^{\operatorname{Acc}} \hookrightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{QC}}_{\leq \operatorname{\Omega }}$. Here $\operatorname{\Omega }$ denotes the strongly inaccessible cardinal of Remark 4.7.0.5.
Proof. By virtue of Proposition 7.6.6.15 (together with Remarks 7.6.6.16 and Exercise 7.6.6.17), it will suffice to show that the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{QC}}^{\operatorname{Acc}}$ admits pullbacks and small products which are preserved by the inclusion functor $\iota $. For pullbacks this is a reformulation of Corollary 9.4.8.10 (see Example 7.6.3.4), and for small products it follows from Corollary 9.4.6.19 and Example 9.4.7.4. $\square$
We close this section by recording a generalization of Corollary 9.4.8.11.
Definition 9.4.8.12. Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets. We will say that $U$ is edgewise accessible if, for every $n$-simplex $\sigma : \Delta ^ n \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the fiber product $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{\sigma } = \Delta ^ n \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is an accessible $\infty $-category.
Warning 9.4.8.13. Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets. If $U$ is edgewise accessible, then the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C} = \{ C\} \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is accessible for each vertex $C \in \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$. Beware that the converse is false in general (see Corollaries 9.4.8.23 and 9.4.8.25). However, it is sufficient to verify the accessibility of all fiber products $\Delta ^ n \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ for $n = 1$ (Corollary 9.4.8.21), which motivates the terminology of Definition 9.4.8.12.
Example 9.4.8.14. Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an isofibration of $\infty $-categories, where $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ and $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ are accessible. If $U$ is accessible when regarded as a functor (in the sense of Definition 9.4.7.1), then it edgewise accessible as an inner fibration (in the sense of Definition 9.4.8.12). This follows from Corollary 9.4.8.10, since every $n$-simplex $\sigma : \Delta ^ n \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is accessible when regarded as a functor (Example 9.4.7.3). Beware that the converse is false in general.
Variant 9.4.8.15. Let $\kappa $ be a small regular cardinal and let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets. We say that $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible if, for every $n$-simplex $\sigma : \Delta ^ n \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the fiber product $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{\sigma } = \Delta ^ n \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is a $\kappa $-accessible $\infty $-category.
Remark 9.4.8.16. Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets. It follows immediately from the definitions that if $U$ is edgewise-$\kappa $-accessible for some small regular cardinal $\kappa $, then it is edgewise accessible. The converse holds if the simplicial set $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is small (see Variant 9.4.6.18).
Example 9.4.8.17. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ be an $\infty $-category. Then $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is accessible if and only if the inner fibration $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \Delta ^0$ is an edgewise accessible. More generally, if $\kappa $ is a small regular cardinal, then $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is $\kappa $-accessible if and only if $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible.
Remark 9.4.8.18. Suppose we are given a pullback diagram of simplicial sets where the vertical maps are inner fibrations. If $U$ is edgewise accessible, then $U'$ is edgewise accessible. Similarly, if $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible, then $U'$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible.
Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial seets. If $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible (in the sense of Variant 9.4.8.15), then it is also $\kappa $-compactly generated (in the sense of Definition 9.4.5.2). For the converse, we have the following:
Proposition 9.4.8.19. Let $\kappa $ be a small regular cardinal and let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets which is $\kappa $-compactly generated. The following conditions are equivalent:
The inner fibration $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible.
The inner fibration $U$ is edgewise accessible.
The inner fibration $U$ is locally small (see Variant 4.7.9.2) and, for each vertex $C \in \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the fiber $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C} = \{ C\} \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is accessible.
Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}' \subseteq \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ be the full simplicial subset spanned by those vertices $X$ which are $\kappa $-compact when viewed as objects of the fiber $\{ U(X) \} \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$. Then the inner fibration $(U|_{ \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}' }): \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}' \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is essentially small (see Variant 4.7.9.2).
Proof. The implication $(1) \Rightarrow (2)$ is immediate, the implication $(2) \Rightarrow (3)$ follows from Remark 9.4.6.14 and Warning 9.4.8.13, and the implication $(3) \Rightarrow (4)$ follows from Proposition 9.4.6.2. We will complete the proof by showing that $(4)$ implies $(1)$. Assume that condition $(4)$ is satisfied and choose an $n$-simplex $\sigma : \Delta ^ n \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$; we wish to show that the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{\sigma } = \Delta ^ n \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is $\kappa $-accessible. Our assumption that $U$ is $\kappa $-compactly generated guarantees that $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{\sigma }$ is $\kappa $-compactly generated. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}'_{\sigma } \subseteq \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{\sigma }$ be the full subcategory spanned by the $\kappa $-compact objects. We will complete the proof by showing that $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}'_{\sigma }$ is essentially small (see Proposition 9.4.6.2). This follows from assumption $(4)$, since $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}'_{\sigma }$ can be identified with the fiber product $\Delta ^ n \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}'$ (see the proof of Proposition 9.4.5.11). $\square$
Remark 9.4.8.20. Let $\kappa $ be a small regular cardinal and let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets. Then $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible if and only if it is an $\operatorname{Ind}_{\kappa }$-completion of an essentially small inner fibration $U': \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}' \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$. Moreover, if these conditions are satisfied, then we can assume that $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}'$ is the full simplicial subset of $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ appearing in the statement of Proposition 9.4.8.19. See Proposition 9.4.5.10.
Corollary 9.4.8.21. Let $\kappa $ be a small regular cardinal and let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets. The following conditions are equivalent:
The inner fibration $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible.
For every edge $\sigma $ of $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the fiber product $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{\sigma } = \Delta ^1 \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is $\kappa $-accessible.
Proof. The implication $(1) \Rightarrow (2)$ is immediate from the definition. The converse follows by combining Propositions 9.4.8.19, 9.4.5.11, and 4.7.9.7. $\square$
Corollary 9.4.8.22. Let $\kappa $ be a small regular cardinal and let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be a locally cartesian fibration of simplicial sets. Then $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:
For every vertex $C \in \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the fiber $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C} = \{ C\} \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is a $\kappa $-accessible $\infty $-category.
For every edge $e: C \rightarrow C'$ of $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the contravariant transport functor $e^{\ast }: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C'} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C}$ is $\kappa $-finitary.
Proof. Combine Proposition 9.4.8.19 with Corollary 9.4.5.8 and Proposition 5.1.5.14. $\square$
Corollary 9.4.8.23. Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be a locally cartesian fibration of simplicial sets. Then $U$ is edgewise accessible if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:
For every vertex $C \in \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the fiber $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C} = \{ C\} \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is an accessible $\infty $-category.
For every edge $e: C \rightarrow C'$ of $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the contravariant transport functor $e^{\ast }: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C'} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C}$ is accessible.
Corollary 9.4.8.24. Let $\kappa $ be a small regular cardinal and let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be a locally cocartesian fibration of simplicial sets. Then $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:
For every vertex $C \in \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the fiber $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C} = \{ C\} \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is a $\kappa $-accessible $\infty $-category.
For every edge $e: C \rightarrow C'$ of $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the covariant transport functor $e_{!}: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C'}$ is $\kappa $-compact.
Proof. Combine Proposition 9.4.8.19 with Corollary 9.4.5.9 and Proposition 5.1.5.14. $\square$
Corollary 9.4.8.25. Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be a locally cocartesian fibration of simplicial sets. Then $U$ is edgewise accessible if and only if the following conditions are satisfied:
For every vertex $C \in \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the fiber $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C} = \{ C\} \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is an accessible $\infty $-category.
For every edge $e: C \rightarrow C'$ of $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$, the covariant transport functor $e_{!}: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C} \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C'}$ is accessible.
Proof. Combine Corollary 9.4.8.24 with Variant 9.4.7.12. $\square$
Example 9.4.8.26. Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be a cocartesian fibration of simplicial sets. Corollary 9.4.8.25 implies that $U$ is edgewise accessible (in the sense of Definition 9.4.8.12) if and only if the covariant transport representation $\operatorname{Tr}_{\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}/\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}}$ takes values in the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{QC}}^{\operatorname{Acc}}$ whose objects are accessible $\infty $-categories and whose morphisms are accessible functors (Notation 9.4.7.8). Similarly, Corollary 9.4.8.23 guarantees that a cartesian fibration is edgewise accessible if and only if its contravariant transport representation takes values in $\operatorname{\mathcal{QC}}^{\operatorname{Acc}}$.
Example 9.4.8.27. Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets which is both locally cartesian and locally cocartesian. Then $U$ is edgewise accessible if and only if each fiber $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}_{C} = \{ C\} \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ is an accessible $\infty $-category. This follows by combining Corollary 9.4.8.23 (or Corollary 9.4.8.25) with Corollary 9.4.7.15.
Proposition 9.4.8.28. Let $\lambda $ be a small regular cardinal and let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets which is edgewise $\lambda $-accessible. Suppose that $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is small and that there exists a regular cardinal $\kappa < \lambda $ such that $U$ is $\kappa $-sequentially cocomplete. Then the $\infty $-category of sections $\operatorname{Fun}_{ / \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}}( \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}, \operatorname{\mathcal{E}})$ is $\lambda $-accessible.
Proof. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{E}}' \subseteq \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ be the full simplicial subset spanned by those vertices $X \in \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$ which are $\lambda $-compact when viewed as objects of the fiber $\{ U(X) \} \times _{\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}} \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}$. Then $U$ restricts to an essentially small inner fibration $U': \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}' \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ (Proposition 9.4.6.2), so the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{Fun}_{ / \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}}( \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}, \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}' )$ is essentially small (Variant 4.7.9.11). Applying Theorem 9.4.5.13, we see that $\operatorname{Fun}_{ /\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}}( \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}, \operatorname{\mathcal{E}})$ is an $\operatorname{Ind}_{\lambda }$-completion of $\operatorname{Fun}_{ / \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}}( \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}, \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}' )$, and is therefore $\lambda $-accessible. $\square$
Corollary 9.4.8.29. Let $U: \operatorname{\mathcal{E}}\rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an inner fibration of simplicial sets which is edgewise accessible. If $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ is small, then the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{Fun}_{ / \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}}( \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}, \operatorname{\mathcal{E}})$ is accessible.
Proof. Using Remark 9.4.8.16, we can choose a small regular cardinal $\kappa $ such that $U$ is edgewise $\kappa $-accessible. Let $\lambda $ be another small regular cardinal satisfying $\kappa \triangleleft \lambda $. Then the inner fibration $U$ is also edgewise $\lambda $-accessible (Proposition 9.4.6.5). Applying Proposition 9.4.8.28, we conclude that $\operatorname{Fun}_{ /\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}}( \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}, \operatorname{\mathcal{E}})$ is $\lambda $-accessible. $\square$
