I am looking for a copy of Yves Diers's 1977 thesis Catégories localisables, which is the original reference for "multi-" category theory, such as multi-adjoints, multi-colimits, and so on. Given that it is relatively widely cited (at least among those papers making use of such concepts), I was hoping a scan or digital copy exists somewhere. Does there exist a publicly available version?

There is also a paper version of it at the MIR7 in Paris I have currently ; maybe it is possible to ask for a numerization; this document would indeed deserve to be more accessible. Otherwise do not hesitate to contact me if I can help.

  • $\begingroup$ MIR have now scanned the thesis and plan to make it available on numdam, so hopefully it will be available publicly soon! $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @varkor any news on this issue? $\endgroup$ May 13 at 8:02
  • $\begingroup$ @UrsSchreiber: no update from the library in Paris, but since they were intending to make the thesis publicly available, I feel there is no harm in uploading it to the nLab for the time being. $\endgroup$

Did you look at numdam? There is no thesis but other texts could be of interest.

  • $\begingroup$ There are several other of Diers's papers publicly available, which is good, but I would really like to know what is covered in the thesis; I imagine there is content in there that does not appear elsewhere. $\endgroup$
