Abstract: In this talk we are going to discuss some natural instances of pro and ind categories in algebraic and geometric contexts, highlighting the importance of working with objects in Ind(Cat$_\infty$) and Pro(Cat$_\infty$) instead of their Cat$_\infty$ realizations. Towards the end we will raise some questions, with the intent of determining what is the “correct” object to consider in these contexts, so as to optimize the generalization/applicability trade-off.
