We introduce the notion of multitotal category A by asking the Yoneda embedding A --> [A^{op}, Set] to be right multiadjoint and prove that this property is equivalent to totality of the formal ptoduct completiom of A. We also characterize multitotal categories with various types of generators; in particular, the existence of dense generators is inherited by the formal product completion iff measurable cardinals cannot be arbitrarily large.engmultitotal categorymultisolid functorproduct completionTotality of product completionsjournal article
