Parametrised Presentability Over Orbital Categories

Abstract In this paper, we develop the notion of presentability in the parametrised homotopy theory framework of Barwick et al. (Parametrized higher category theory and higher algebra: a general introduction, 2016) over orbital categories. We formulate and prove a characterisation of parametrised presentable categories in terms of its associated straightening. From this we deduce a parametrised adjoint functor theorem from the unparametrised version, prove various localisation results, and we record the interactions of the notion of presentability here with multiplicative matters. Such a theory is of interest for example in equivariant homotopy theory, and we will apply it in Hilman (Parametrised noncommutative motives and cubical descent in equivariant algebraic K-theory, 2022) to construct the category of parametrised noncommutative motives for equivariant algebraic K-theory.
