Calculating limits and colimits in pro-categories

Daniel C. Isaksen (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We present some constructions of limits and colimits in pro-categories. These are critical tools in several applications. In particular, certain technical arguments concerning strict pro-maps are essential for a theorem about étale homotopy types. We also correct some mistakes in the literature on this topic.

Categorical Pullbacks

Marco Riccardi (2015)

Formalized Mathematics

The main purpose of this article is to introduce the categorical concept of pullback in Mizar. In the first part of this article we redefine homsets, monomorphisms, epimorpshisms and isomorphisms [7] within a free-object category [1] and it is shown there that ordinal numbers can be considered as categories. Then the pullback is introduced in terms of its universal property and the Pullback Lemma is formalized [15]. In the last part of the article we formalize the pullback of functors [14] and it...

Colimit-dense subcategories

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Among cocomplete categories, the locally presentable ones can be defined as those with a strong generator consisting of presentable objects. Assuming Vopěnka’s Principle, we prove that a cocomplete category is locally presentable if and only if it has a colimit dense subcategory and a generator consisting of presentable objects. We further show that a 3 -element set is colimit-dense in 𝐒𝐞𝐭 op , and spaces of countable dimension are colimit-dense in 𝐕𝐞𝐜 op .
