Abstract

We extend the 2-representation theory of finitary 2-categories in two separate fashions. For the first, we examine certain 2-categories with infinitely many objects, called locally finitary 2-categories, and for the second we examine certain 2-categories with infinitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable 1-morphisms, called (locally) wide finitary 2-categories. In both cases, we extend various classification results relating to transitive and simple transitive 2-representations to the new setting, and provide examples where this new theory applies. Most prominently, we generalise the classification of simple transitive cell 2-representations of fiat 2-categories by cell 2-representations to the locally finitary setting (and further extend it to the weakly fiat case), and we generalise to both settings the classification of all transitive 2-representations of weakly fiat 2-categories as equivalent to 2-representations associated to coalgebra 1-morphisms.
