| contents | In all $κ$-accessible additive categories, $κ$-pure monomorphisms and $κ$-pure epimorphisms are well-behaved, as shown in our previous paper arXiv:2311.02418. This is known to be not always true in $κ$-accessible nonadditive categories. Nevertheless, mild assumptions on a $κ$-accessible category are sufficient to prove good properties of $κ$-pure monomorphisms and $κ$-pure epimorphisms. In particular, in a $κ$-accessible category with finite products, all $κ$-pure monomorphisms are $κ$-directed colimits of split monomorphisms, while in a $κ$-accessible category with finite coproducts, all $κ$-pure epimorphisms are $κ$-directed colimits of split epimorphisms. We also discuss what we call Quillen exact classes of monomorphisms and epimorphisms, generalizing the additive concept of one-sided exact category. |
