Accessible Category
The theory of accessible categories was introduced in 1989 by mathematicians Michael Makkai and Robert Paré in the setting of category theory. While the original motivation came from model theory, a branch of mathematical logic, it turned out that accessible categories have applications in homotopy theory. Some properties of accessible categories depend on the set universe in use, particularly on the cardinal properties.
